Help! Build inkscape from source on Windows

Postby ahzhjg » Fri Nov 02, 2012 4:03 pm

Hello Everyone!
I followed the instructions as given at the below link:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Win32Port

I got the devlibs and inkscape sources from launchpad with bazaar, installed tdm-gcc-4.7.1-2_3.exe into C:\MinGW32, and made the modify on mingwenv.bat of course. Then I built the source without exception, and got a directory underneath trunk named inkscape which contained inkscape executable and inkview executable.
But when I tried to run the inkscape.exe ( or inkview.exe ), it said "Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x6652ea89 in libglibmm-2!_ZNSs16_S_construct_auxIPcEES0_T_S1_RKSaIcESt12__false_type () from D:\src\inkscape\trunk\inkscape\libglibmm-2.4-1.dll".

Is there anyuser who encoutered this problem or have successfully compiled inkscape on windows? Any help is appreciate, thanks!

The current win32 devlibs have been built with TDM-GCC 4.6, and mixing compiler versions will result in C++ ABI conflicts and unstable builds:
  • Use an older GCC: TDM-GCC-4.6.1, SJLJ version (see also here).
