But, however it would take expertise with Windows and writing IE plugins. We have few enough windows developers as is so as of right now we will probably not be able do this. If you know someone who could do this or you are willing to code it yourself, I'm sure you get whatever support you need. Joshua L. Blocher verbalshadow

Compiling Inkscape from source
by Silveira Neto 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

I already can compile the Inskcape successfully in Ubuntu 8.04 by Apt. Now I need to compile it directly from sources in order to try to help the new JavaFX output that Bob Jamison developed. I already took a look at Compiling Inkscape<http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape>and Compiling Inkscape at Ubuntu <http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingUbuntu>at documentation. The end of ./configure output is like: > configure: error: Package requirements (gdkmm-2.4 glibmm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 >= > 2.10.0 gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxslt >= 1.0.15 cairo sigc++-2.0 > >= 2.0.12 gtkspell-2.0 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0 libpng >= 1.2 gsl) were not met: > > No package 'gsl' found > > Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you > installed software in a non-standard prefix. > I tried export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig and also export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig, but both gave me the same output with ./configure. I already installed the following packages to compile Inkscape: build-essential autoconf automake intltool libglib2.0-dev libpng12-dev > libgc-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms1-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libxslt1-dev > libboost-dev libpopt-dev libgnome-vfsmm-2.6-dev libssl-dev libmagick++9-dev > libwpg-dev > Is there some another tip to compiling Inkscape at Ubuntu? -- ------- silveiraneto.net eupodiatamatando.com

PS and PDF: Print/Save As
by Tavmjong Bah 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, I have been trying to understand Inkscape's PS and PDF output with v0.46. It is very confusing so I thought I would summarize what I have found in a table. I tested the various ways to get PS and PDF output with: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/images/SVG_TESTS/svg_test.svg . Save As Print Cairo Vector Raster# PS PS% PDF PS PDF PS PDF Patterns No Wrong No Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Clipping No Wrong No Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Masking No No No No No Yes Yes Transparency No Yes Yes* Yes Yes Yes Yes Dashed Lines Yes Wrong Yes Wrong Wrong Yes Yes Gradient on Stroke No Yes Yes* Yes Yes Yes Yes # Only at 72 dpi regardless of DPI setting. % Crashes when run from window manager but not command line. * Displays OK in Acroread, not with Evince 0.8.2. The "Save As" and "Print" PDF use two different Cairo routines. What is the history of this? It seems to be a bit of a waste of effort. Tav

Using ${env.DEVLIBS_PATH} in build.xml?
by Jasper van de Gronde 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Is there something against using ${env.DEVLIBS_PATH} as the path to devlibs in build.xml? This way the path only needs to be set in mingwenv.bat (which is already done anyway) and it wouldn't have to be changed back each time I (or anyone else who has devlibs elsewhere) modifies build.xml.

Patterns: display of unit cell
by unknown＠example.com 02 Aug '08

02 Aug '08

Hi all, The knots for a pattern applied to a shape used to be scaled by 0.5, such that the displayed knots where on the border of a quarter unit cell. I have removed this as I found it confusing and awkward now with the snapping of those points while trying to get a good checkerbord fill at the grid's spacing. Perhaps someone can tell me why this factor was put in? Thanks, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] Snap to grid when pasting

I might just as well create something similar again, but I'm not sure how it should work. Given an object with lots of nodes, which node should snap to the grid? If all nodes were already aligned to the grid when copying, then while pasting snapping any node to the grid will do. But this will not be true in general and there will be nodes both on- and off-grid. Besides, we can now have multiple grids simultaneously, which one should we use? If we know where the clipboard data was originally located (I don't know if that information is stored), then we might paste at a multiple of the grid pitch (strictly spoken: that is not snapping, but it will achieve what you're looking for). Comments anyone? Diederik

Adding a download link to the website
by John Faith 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hello, I'd like to add a 0.46 OS X 10.3 download link to the website. I've checked out inkscape_web and know which files to edit, but after reading http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebsiteEditing I wanted to make sure I edit inkscape_web/download/ files. properly to keep the encoding correct. If I simply use 'vi' which is configured to support multi-byte characters, is that sufficient to keep these files happy? Also, It looks like I can simply add links to the non-English files inkscape_web/download/download-*.inc, but if I should avoid those, what is the usual procedure for requesting web page translations? Thanks! , John

r19370 extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2***: error: expected primary-expression before '**' token
by Jeff Kowalczyk 01 Aug '08

Inkscape svn trunk stopped building for me on Gentoo Linux ~x86 about two weeks ago, which corresponds somewhat with the last commit on xtension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp. The build.log is huge, but available if it helps anyone debug. # grep error: build.log extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2259: error: expected primary-expression before '.' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2261: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2261: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2261: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2261: error: expected primary-expression before '=' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '<<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '<' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2316: error: expected primary-expression before '.' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2318: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2318: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2318: error: expected primary-expression before '==' token extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2318: error: expected primary-expression before '=' token P.S. The pdf-parser's issues with the public vs. private parts of the poppler API have been the only real source of build failures for me over the past year. Perhaps r19370 is central to fixing that. Still, It would be nice if a config option allowed it to be skipped entirely when there's trouble.

'Lines only' mode in pen tool
by Maximilian Albert 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi all, I seem to remember a few recent requests for a "lines only" mode in pen tool (can't find the related emails or bug reports offhand). [1] For my LPE work I had implemented this a short while ago anyway (if for different reasons), but so far it has only been used internally. Now I added a new button to the pen toolbar to make it publicly available. You may want to give it a try and see if it is useful. All it does is prevent you from making curves: each mouse click automatically addes a new line segment, regardless if you are dragging or not. Personally, I'm not too convinced that it's of great value but other people may have different opinions. If it turns out to be useless, feel free to ditch it again. :) If you want to keep it, you are welcome to design a more beautiful icon and/or find better descriptions, too.;-) Max [1] This one seems to be along these lines, too, but it's very unspecific: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/253166
