Possible bug compiling trunk

Hi to all, i notticed a bug compiling in my machine, I'm compiling trunk in my Debian Jessie with gcc version 4.8.2. Show me this error: CXX libvpsc/solve_VPSC.o make[3]: *** No rule to make target '../../inkscape/src/libvpsc/csolve_VPSC.cpp', needed by 'libvpsc/csolve_VPSC.o'. Alto. make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/jtx/Development/inkscape/inkscape-gcc/src' Makefile:4790: recipe for target 'all' failed make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/jtx/Development/inkscape/inkscape-gcc/src' Makefile:991: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/jtx/Development/inkscape/inkscape-gcc' Makefile:686: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 Thanks in advance, Jabier.

occasionally misleading file references in Merge requests.
by alvinpenner 13 May '14

13 May '14

this a source of some confusion, and also annoyance to me, so consider this to be a rant. I often try to see who has most recently changed a file, like guides_creator.py. So I end up at the address: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/changes?filter_fil… where it tells me that the file has been changed in rev 13007. So I click on that link, and it tells me that this rev actually changed this file, as expected. Then I see a Merge request in rev 13221, so I click on that link and discover that this particular file was not changed in that rev, even though the previous page said it was changed. Then I see a Merge request in rev 12404, so I click on that link and discover that this particular file was changed in that rev, as expected. So sometimes the file actually was changed and sometimes not. ............................................... Similar experience with file /src/extension/dbus/document-interface.cpp start at the location: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/changes?filter_fil… go to Merge request 12476 and discover that this file was not actually modified in this merge, nor in Merge request 13221, but it was modified in Merge request 13340 as expected. .............................................. this is very confusing. The problem seems to occur only in Merge requests. Does anyone know why some Merge requests lead to false references to file changes that never occurred?

Circle Tool: How to Fix the Size
by Martin Owens 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hey Devs, I was working on an artwork[1] which needed specific sized segments using the circular tool. The problem is that there is no way to specify the size of an arc, just the start and stop degrees. What I need was a percentage value for size. I also found it impossible to adjust the arc's position. Object-Rotate puts the center inside it's bbox, not at the center of the arc. There's no key to press which could make both start and end nodes move together (that I know of). I ended up carefully adjusting start and end values together in increments. So. how could we design this tool to be better? Best Regards, Martin Owens [1] http://doctormo.deviantart.com/art/Imperial-and-Metric-Volume-453500628

64-bit: size of vectors and the like
by Johan Engelen 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hi all, TL,DR: please use std::size_t instead of e.g. unsigned int for STL's size() return values. A quick message. I just fixed a bug in buildtool.cpp that lead to an infinite loop when compiled for 64-bit. It happened because of a loop test on a string.size() with an unsigned int counter type. Changing the counter type to std::size_t fixed the issue. To be honest, I do not actually fully understand why it went into an infinite loop. But hope this is an example to motivate you to use the correct type to store / work with the result of STL's size() return parameters. Thanks, Johan

0.91 Release Notes
by Ryan Lerch 11 May '14

11 May '14

Just trying to get a go on this item in the release schedule [1] """ Identify remaining writing needed for Release Notes. """ Is it safe to start taking the release notes, and expanding them out further? Are all the features / bugfixes we want to document listed on the wikipage[2]? Or are there some that still need to be added? cheers, ryanlerch [1] - http://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/ [2] - http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.91

Hi Devs, Now we're in or very near to Frost, one of the items is the About Screen contest. This sounds like a really interesting task for a non-coder. Maybe one of the people who help with translations, forums or other

Post LGM notes on PDF and Inkscape2Scribus workflow
by pygmee 09 May '14

09 May '14

During last LGM we have discussed on future development of Inkscape. Among the tasks, we pointed the print-ready PDF request. I mentionned we have 2 opportunities : - as scribus does a print-ready PDF, try to learn from that to develop our own. Discussions with Franz and Andreas have pointed it was not hard in the principle but that cairo might not do it so soon and that Scribus don't provide a library whoch could easily implement it into Inkscape. Andreas has shown interest in helping in a way, and Kryzstof seem to be on the way - i also said that actually we usually import Inkscape documents into Scribus and make the PDF from it. Of course, this is far from being a perfect workflow for it needs few minutes to be done and redone when needed just for an "export". Plus we have issues with Scribus SVG import features which sometimes means come back to a standard PNG export, which is not desired when we decide to use vector. I gave the filter example and this one is really not it the Roadmap because there are many other more important feature to get implement before and that filters are not in PDF so they might be rasterized anyway. Scribus don't provide a command line option that would allow PDF generation on the fly from Inkscape. The situation is improving because Scribus is itself getting getter in SVG support but there are no real plans so that we have no idea when it could be done and the guy working mainly on Postscript and SVG may not be available in the next months. I think that create a better Workflow with Scribus is interesting for many other reasons that get Print-ready PDF for Inkscape. Especially, we'd anyway need to import often vector drawing in Scribus for complex layout. Actually Inkscape is missing many interesting things such as text styles, flowing text around objects, multipage... So we should not imagine Inkscape could replace Scribus as easily. May be that one of the easiest would be exploring by ourselves especially give Scribus files that it can easily read : i guess it's will be easier to get an exporter than an importer - Provide a "Scribus SVG" which contains bitmap data or links so that we could flatten or rasterize everything scribus won't support, choosing the resolution. I didn't check if this could be done in python, especially accessing primitive filters - Provide an exchange format that could help and i'm thinking of OpenRaster. Scribus just begun implemented it in March and i've done some test on it. There is actually no vector support, but this format might be a could beginning point to work with many other softwares too like Krita or Mypaint. I think it would worth to put the effort on ora more that on XCF esport, for example. I can help on this as i can, but i'm not a programmer so i'm slow in coding. I more used in python but i've really done little patch in C++ though never for Inkscape. CU pygmee

Inverted Linked Path Param in LPE...??
by Papoj Thamjaroenporn 08 May '14

08 May '14

Dear all, I’m a little puzzled at this. Does anyone know why when we define path param by linking, the resulting path param is inverted? Compared to pasted path, the resulting param path’s orientation remains the same. An example using Bend Path LPE is shown below. This behavior happens to other LPEs that use path param as well. Also, does anyone know if we can restrict the path param to link / copy path’s control points *exactly* at the same locations as it’s drawn? Thank you.

64-bit Windows builds
by liamw 08 May '14

http://goo.gl/yVygaU Successful compilation of lp:~inkscapebrony/inkscape/inkscape I have enabled gradient meshes, test path effects, and the LPE tool. I don't think the File open/save dialogs work — you will have to use the command line for that. Many thanks to Partha for the build environment — which you can download here : http://goo.gl/kRnN5z -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/64-bit-Windows-builds-tp4970434.html Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
