import pdf, ps, eps pstoedit scribus
by John Griessen 14 Jul '04

14 Jul '04

I've searched and found pstoedit makes a partial import of pdf to svg, and several other perl scripts and postscript programs that choke on some pdf content when converting to ai or ps even. What I was looking for was a method of rearranging print articles from current magazines for my own use with margins to make notes in, and with editing and condensing in mind. Is pstoedit, (the gpl part), the best there is now? Can ps2ai be made to not die so easily? Since pstoedit has the best error handling even though output is not just right, is anyone interested to take the source of it and add more? Many pdfs are intended never to be editable, but often legitimate work is going to start with pdfs since adobe made them so popular by effective promotion and "free as in beer" viewers that worked. A big area of legitimate work is in catalogs whose typesetters are nowhere to be found, or not offering their editable layouts, or the layouts are made with ancient Mac SW that no one has anymore, and yet the paper catalog data needs to be mined for starting an online store web catalog. See the inkscape wiki under tutorial ideas for a couple of new images related to pstoedit -f plot-svg John Griessen -- John Griessen Cibolo Design Austin Texas linux counter #249315

[Fwd: [Inkscape-user] need help to compile inkscape 0.39 in macosx]
by MenTaLguY 14 Jul '04

-----Forwarded Message----- From: Albert <albert@...452...> To: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Inkscape-user] need help to compile inkscape 0.39 in macosx Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2004 00:04:30 +0200 Hi all I'm trying to compile inkscape-039pre4 in macosx and I'm running into this problem: No package 'gtkmm-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2-2.4.24 sigc++-1.2 gtkmm-2.0 ) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. I know I have gtkmm1.2 installed and than I need then to install 2.0, but the question is: inkscape 0.38 did NOT require neither gtkmm1.2 nor 2.0. I thought this would be necessary from 0.40 and onward, not before. When was this changed, or what did I miss? Also, which gtkmm should I install: 2.0-2.2, or 2.4 ? Does anyone know if any of this 2 libs have any problems in macosx ? Thank you for any help.

2 Compile Issues
by Bob Jamison 14 Jul '04

14 Jul '04

Bryce told me to direct this to Mental or Bulia: Since we are clearing source changes now, I'll mention these two things that need tweaking. Nothing major, but they can break builds: 1. In satisfied_guide_cns.cpp, the prototype for void satisfied_guide_cns(SPDesktop const &desktop, std::vector<NR::Point> &snappoints, std::vector<SPGuideConstraint> &cns) ...needs to match the .h file. This can cause a linking problem in some situations, such as dynamic instead of static, or link order. 2. This one is my fault. I recoded prefix.cpp to use gthreads; it works nicely, but this file is not our responsibility. The original binreloc version needs to be put back. (OOPS. sorry) I'll not touch any sources until after the release :) Bob

configure patch

Hi, The binreloc code uses gthread to achieve thread safety in the Inkscape tree, but gthread isn't passed to pkg-config.

submitting freeze items
by MenTaLguY 14 Jul '04

14 Jul '04

I'd like to leverage the patch tracker to provide a work queue for bulia and me. To this end, I created an "0.39 FREEZE" tracker group. The proposed procedure is as follows: 1. create an entry in the patch tracker; if your change is complicated enough to warrant a patch, attach it. otherwise, just describe what you need done (as Bob did) -- make sure to select the aforementioned "0.39 FREEZE" group when you submit the entry. 2. also send an email to the mailing list so we can discuss the patch/change here 3. any updates/fixes to your patch go in the tracker item so they don't get lost -- be sure to include a note indicating the fix/change also 4. bulia or I can claim items to work on by assigning them to ourselves, and will close the tracker entry when the task is done Sound reasonable? -mental

Extra main() symbol
by Bob Jamison 14 Jul '04

14 Jul '04

Another Mental/Bulia thing: I have been working on the new build stuff for 0.40, such as making an inkscape.dll. This exercise in exporting symbols reveals some minor problems in our code, like I reported earlier. I just found another one. In the Win32 build, there is an extra main() being added to libinkscape.a. This is much easier to do manually than a patch. 1. Could you add this line: extension/script/js/js.c to src/make.exclude, 2. and then run perl mkfiles.pl and perl mkdep.pl 3. ...and then commit make.* (will be 3 or 4 files) Bob

Explicit destructor calls for libstdc++
by Aubanel MONNIER 13 Jul '04

13 Jul '04

Somebody knows why there are so many explicit destructor calls like : sp_desktop_dispose (GObject *object) { SPDesktop *dt = SP_DESKTOP (object); dt->sel_modified_connection.disconnect(); dt->sel_modified_connection.~connection(); dt->sel_changed_connection.disconnect(); dt->sel_changed_connection.~connection(); dt->_set_colorcomponent_signal.~signal(); Why not a simple delete (dt->sel_modified_connection); ?

Text writing and font changing
by Tuukka Pasanen 12 Jul '04

12 Jul '04

hi, Inkscapes font editing capabilities are getting better but there is two major problems. At least for me. 1. One can't change font in middle of text (If inkscape is using pango this should be so hard) 2. One can't put text in textbox (so you can't say be this large and if your text is longer cut it to next row) Have someone thought about this. I could take and make part 1 but thing i don't know how to mark up things when font changes?? part 2 should also be doable? Tuukka
