Inkscape Compile Issues - Mac OS X

Postby pdlewis » Fri Jul 30, 2010 2:54 pm

I am working to compile Inkscape .47, experimenting with the GTK-OSX Project, and using the the instructions here from http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX#Building_Aqua_from_scratch.2C_2010 for the Inkscape portion. I have solved a lot of my error so far, but I am geting stumped here:

Does anyone have any ideas. I did note that the

Code: Select all

checking gc/gc.h usability... no
checking gc/gc.h presence... no
checking for gc/gc.h... no
I can not locate the gc directory, should this be included in the source, or do I have another config issue to deal with it.

From the configure log excerpt it looks like you try to do it without using MacPorts? All methods described on the referenced Wiki page are based on working with MacPorts to install the dependencies (and there are quite a lot of them ...). I have no experience about doing it differently.

You miss a dependency: if using MacPorts, it would be easy to solve ( sudo port install boehmgc ) … don't know about installing it from source directly.
