Hi, I'm trying to get inkscape CVS compiling on a pretty much base ubuntu install. I installed packages as needed to get past the autogen and configure. Now the compile always fails with many syntax errors compiling filedialog. Any idea what I could be missing here? if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -DPOTRACE=\"potrace\" -DXTHREADS -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/sigc++-2.0 -I/usr/lib/sigc++-2.0/include -I/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/gtkmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/glibmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/glibmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/gdkmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/gdkmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/pangomm-1.4 -I/usr/include/atkmm-1.6 -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -Woverloaded-virtual -Wswitch -Wno-unused-parameter -g -O2 -MT dialogs/filedialog.o -MD -MP -MF "dialogs/.deps/filedialog.Tpo" \ -c -o dialogs/filedialog.o `test -f 'dialogs/filedialog.cpp' || echo './'`dialogs/filedialog.cpp; \ then mv -f "dialogs/.deps/filedialog.Tpo" "dialogs/.deps/filedialog.Po"; \ else rm -f "dialogs/.deps/filedialog.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1031: error: syntax error before `;' token dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1037: error: `FileType' was not declared in this scope dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1037: error: template argument 1 is invalid dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1037: error: template argument 2 is invalid dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1037: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `fileTypes' with no type dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1080: error: syntax error before `::' token dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1085: error: `svgPreview' was not declared in this scope dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1085: error: `fileName' was not declared in this scope dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1085: error: `dialogType' was not declared in this scope dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1086: error: `retval' was not declared in this scope dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1086: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ` set_preview_widget_active' with no type dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1094: error: syntax error before `::' token dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1099: error: `fileNameEntry' was not declared in this scope dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1100: error: parse error before `if' dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1109: error: syntax error before `.' token dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1110: error: syntax error before `.' token dialogs/filedialog.cpp:1111: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `fileName' with no type ...

GC debugging
by MenTaLguY 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

I've comitted some code which lets you select the GC implementation at runtime for debugging purposes. Basically, you can set the _INKSCAPE_GC environment variable to one of the following values: * enable - use the normal garbage-collected allocator (default) * debug - track additional debugging information[1] and detect certain types of heap corruption[2] * disable - use standard malloc in place of the GC allocator[3] _INKSCAPE_GC=disable mostly replaces the --disable-gc ./configure option, which has been removed. -mental --- [1] for example, you can trace the path of references from an object to a GC root, to debug problems like an object mysteriously not getting collected [2] it can't detect all corruption, but makes an honest effort [3] it will leak memory fiercely, of course, since memory allocated with the standard allocator isn't automatically freed, but it's helpful for debugging sometimes

extensions on Win32
by John Cliff 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

Hi guys, Having got the svg input fixed i've been looking to see if i could get output working too. In looking into it have found that currently the extensions stuff doesnt work on windows. For some reason the popen call in script::execute is refusing to open the pipe. I've tried the exact same code in a standalone program and it works absolutely fine, so am a bit stumped as to what it is. I've had a dig through our sources and the include files, and I can't see anything thats overriding it. If any of you have any ideas, I'd welcome the input. The only other issue I can see with it is some hard coded /tmp/ strings for the temporay files, which need to use the g_whatever call to get the temp directory instead.

Couple of import/export bugs
by miriam clinton (iriXx) 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

While having my first play with Inkscape yesterday i noticed that while its possible to save to an .ai Illustrator file, and an .eps, this can only be effectively used for print really. In Illustrator, all text and objects appear selected and grouped when the item is open, and then when ungrouped, text is not editable on the path - you can pull the text all over the place in single letters but its not possible to re-word it. Once I'd saved in Illustrator I couldnt re-open the file in Inkscape at all. I'd be more than happy to test these problems as I've got both apps at the ready. best, mC~ -- 99% of aliens prefer Earth --Eminem www.iriXx.org www.copyleftmedia.org.uk
