Expected ';' before 'char' https://pastebin.com/hq4yCG5Z 'makefile' https://pastebin.com/GpMNQvHZ It has me stumped but I hope it's obvious to someone else.

re-visiting old thread (make selection easiser)
by brynn 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi Friends, I had started a thread a little over a year ago now. The question was, would it be possible for the mouse pointer (holding or dragging nothing, just by itself) to snap to something like nodes. Because selecting a number of individual nodes, in a situation where dragging a selection box wouldn't work, I was thinking if the mouse pointer (Node tool) could snap to nodes, it would make it much faster to select them individually. https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/35137850 So there was a long discussion, and some people actually came up with some functionality using a key combination (I think Shift + something, iirc). So when the mouse pointer was within some distance of a node, pressing the key combination selected that node. But the whole thing kind of died when it turned out the only available key was on the right side of the keyboard, which would be awkward for me (probably most right-handers). But I see in the draft for the release announcement, for 0.92.2, that some more keys have been freed up for user-defined shortcuts, which were not available before. So it got me thinking, and I wonder what those keys are, and whether it would bring this idea back to life. Thanks for comments :-) All best, brynn

Inkscape Vectors - The beginning of awesomeness, join in
by Ryan Gorley 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hello All, In June we had an excellent meeting with a number of you who were interested in helping spread the love about Inkscape (meeting notes <https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/r.93b6af2384cc1de450dd70166ad5cd50>). During that meeting the team decided upon a new name, the Inkscape Vectors, and to have our next meetup on Mattermost, a free alternative to Slack. If you missed the meeting, but are still interested, *come join us on Mattermost* <https://teams.freecreatives.org/login?redirect_to=%2Finkscape>*.***Our next meeting time/date will be discussed there. The group has a broad mission and is open to individuals of diverse talents. So if you're a writer, marketer, designer, developer, artist, student, researcher, or just passionate enough about Inkscape to do /something/, we invite you to join now! -- Ryan Gorley @ Dijt <https://dijt.co>

0.92.2 Release Meeting
by Bryce Harrington 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

== Release Meeting == Following the board meeting, 1pm Pacific time Friday, will be an opportunity to review status ahead of the release this weekend. This meeting will be held on #inkscape-devel. Everyone's welcome to attend, but particularly people who have been testing or developing the release candidate to gather feedback on any remaining issues. I'd also love to see members of the new Vectors team to discuss announcement plans. Agenda: * QA status / issues * Translation team status * Vector team status * Web team status * Release team status * Final Go/No-go on release * Other business There was also a question recently about policies for versions of dependencies (i.e. what do we target for LTS). Time permitting we could discuss this a bit as well. Thanks, Bryce

MSYS2 ships with mingw-w64 toolchains for both 32-bit and 64-bit builds (you don't need both if you only want to target one architecture).

cmake fails: unsupported Mingw
by Jeff Mitchell 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Bad result from cmake .. command: Unable to determine MinGW processor architecture. Are you using an unsupported MinGW version? I put MinGW exactly where it's needed - in C:\ and without whitespace characters. How do I fix this? There's nothing on Google that will explain it. I'm using the normal MinGW, not a legacy version or beta.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Embroidery extension
by Michael Soegtrop 30 Jul '17

Dear Lex, I guess we are trying to solve the same problem, but differently. I wanted to have more control than semi automated fillers provide, so I added 3 LPEs, which are in Inkscape 0.92.2: 1.) A bool LPE to do intersections / unions, ... of areas, so that one can construct the areas to stitch from drawing areas. 2.) A path / path group trimmer LPE, which restricts a set of paths to an area (or oustide of an area. There are already two path interpolation LPEs which allow to create sets of paths with fine control over local direction and density. 3.) An LPE to convert a set of paths into stitches. This includes an almost reasonable traveling salesman problem (TSP) variant solver for ordering groups of stitches to minimize the traveling in between. It can still be improved. It is a bit more complicated than standard TSP solvers, because it looks into groups of parallel stitches which have 4 possible ends. My approach is as follows 1.) Make a drawing 2.) Use the bool op LPE to create (in a new layer) the areas to fill with each color / stitch style. 3.) Create a set of path to control density and direction using path interpolation LPEs. This allows a great deal of control, e.g. for hair. I don't think any commercial tool allows this amount of control. 4.) Use the path trim/cut LPE to trim the paths created in 3.) to the areas created in 2.) 5.) Use the embroidery stitch LPE to convert the paths to stitches. Sometimes I use the cut / trim filter also to create intermediate nodes in paths to create special stitching patterns. These nodes are not visible in normal drawing, but after stitching they are visible. Of cause for simple cases, it would help to extend it with a more automated approach, which is what you appear to be working at. I am very interested in the import/export library you mentioned. It would be great to work together on this. Best regards, Michael
