call of 'virtualenv' with option 'p=python3' syntactically wrong

Dear Maintainers, after pulling revision 5448704355e03a97d2838e1ba30272db335f0dbb I have built inkscape according to https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/ Trying to manage extensions (Extensions -> Manage Extensions) I receive the following error message: There has been a problem creating the python environment: Return Code: 3: b'' b'The path =python3 (from --python==python3) does not exist\n' args: ['/usr/bin/virtualenv', '-p=python3', '/home/xx/.config/inkscape/extensions'] Indeed the call is syntactically wrong. Instead of '-p=python3' the option '-p python3' ### without equal sign should be used. As far as I understand, the problem seems to exist in inkscape/share/extensions/extension-manager-bootstrap.py:69 call('virtualenv', TARGET_DIR, p='python3') which then in inkex/command.py:to_args() is evaluated to the wrong sytnax. According to the (very good) comments in to_args() :Keyword Arguments: * *name* (``str``) -- Becomes ``--name="val"`` ... * *n* (``str``) -- Becomes ``-n=val`` ... it should become ``-n val``. I do not know whether a change would result in problems using other programs that want -n=val. Which should that be?

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

Inkscape Hackfest 2023
by René de Hesselle 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Dear all, we’re trying to organize a Hackfest early 2023 in Germany at a location outside Cologne (~15 km). While the location won’t lend itself to sightseeing tours or visiting a different bar each night (because it's not in the city, more on the country side), it’s special appeal is that we actually don’t have to leave the premises: team room, hotel rooms and excellent catering (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are conveniently all in one place. Ideal conditions for late night sessions under the influence of beer and good company to spark commits for make benefit glorious library of Boost Pointer Container! ('grep -A 5 glorious src/3rdparty/2geom/include/2geom/curve.h‘ and you will understand) More details will be revealed later, for now let’s see which week(s) to look at for possible booking and how many people are interested. Please use your GitLab handle as your name to vote within 7 days: https://framadate.org/FKWRfp1N54R1YJr3 (Two weeks in February are missing because traveling during carnival season through a hotspot like Cologne isn’t fun.) Cheers! René

Anybody build from source on RH EL 8 (or related)?
by David Mathog 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

This question was first posted here (recently): https://inkscape.org/forums/beyond/anybody-build-from-source-on-rh-el-8-or-… It was kind of long, so please just read that and then reply here. Found this script in the current developer's instructions: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/raw/master/install_depende… Have not tried it yet. It lists Fedora but not any of the RHEL variants. Also, under Fedora poppler is not explicitly called out as a dependency, and from the first link, building poppler was a problem. Does the Fedora build not use poppler, or does it come in automatically from one of the other dnf commands? For reference, see also: https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=76971 For Centos 8.3 (or maybe it was 8.2) "dnf install poppler-devel" worked, but for almalinux 8.6 it does not, failing with a: No match for argument: poppler-devel Thanks, David Mathog
