[SOLVED] Building Inkscape on OpenSUSE

Postby ChameleonScales » Sat Mar 18, 2017 1:16 pm

Hi,
First, I'm not sure this is the best place to post this so if you know a better one, please tell me.

I'm trying to build a bugfix version of Inkscape on OpenSUSE but I'm a bit stuck.

I followed the instructions here but when I run "cmake .." I get this :

Code: Select all

I don't know which package is missing or what went wrong.

Thanks in advance.

You're probably better off posting either on the developer mailing list or developer IRC. https://inkscape.org/en/community/ Possibly searching the mailing list archives might find it already discussed. https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mail ... ape-devel/ Or maybe parts of it discussed, and you can find a helpful tip.

I don't know if any bug reports have been filed about it or not, but you could try searching Launchpad as well https://launchpad.net/inkscape

Hi Caetano,

the version you're trying to install is not a 'bugfix version' but trunk. It's the development version that often introduces bugs, and isn't deemed stable. It requires gtk3, which it seems you don't have installed.

You would (at least, probably more) need libgtkmm-3.0-dev, libgdl-3-dev and other gtk3 development libraries.

To find out which ones are available, do a search on the command line like this:

Code: Select all

zypper se package_name_or_part_of_name


Then install the ones that fit with the version number (i.e. 3) and have a -dev at the end.

Repeat this for each package that the compiler says is missing.

But if you're looking for a bugfix version for 0.92.1, please get the sources from https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.de ... ape/0.92.x
Of course, depending on the bug you're trying to work around, the fix may or may not be available in the stable branch.
This one does not require gtk3 and should compile right away.

Which bug are you trying to circumvent?

Thank you very much. I guess gtkmm3-devel is the openSUSE name corresponding to libgtkmm-3.0-dev and gdl-devel is the corresponding name to libgdl-3-dev because it worked ! And now I see where the terminal told me what was missing.
Also you're right it's the trunk version that I wanted. I'm not very familiar with the terminology yet. I thought I could call it a bugfix version because it was a commit that fixed a bug with the plain svg export for Inkscape 0.93. I could test it and it seems the bug fix worked too !
Also thanks brynn for this advice.

:-D Glad it worked (I've never used openSUSE and had to look up the zypper command ;-) )
