Building the trunk on Gentoo. Compile problems with GTK
by Alexander Wright 08 Jan '11

Hi, I'm getting this compile error on Gentoo: svg-view.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void SPSVGView::mouseover()’: svg-view.cpp:114:40: error: ‘GDK_HAND2’ was not declared in this scope svg-view.cpp:114:49: error: ‘gdk_cursor_new’ was not declared in this scope svg-view.cpp:115:70: error: ‘GTK_WIDGET’ was not declared in this scope svg-view.cpp:115:87: error: ‘gdk_window_set_cursor’ was not declared in this scope svg-view.cpp:116:28: error: ‘gdk_cursor_unref’ was not declared in this scope svg-view.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void SPSVGView::mouseout()’: svg-view.cpp:122:70: error: ‘GTK_WIDGET’ was not declared in this scope svg-view.cpp:122:85: error: ‘gdk_window_set_cursor’ was not declared in this scope make[3]: *** [svg-view.o] Error 1 Adding #include <gtk/gtk.h> to svg-view.cpp and widgets/sp-color-wheel- selector.cpp fixes the problem. On IRC, user su-v suggested it might be related to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/claws-mail/+bug/247909/comments/12 I think this requires a code fix.

Inkscape Intro video assistance needed
by Ian Caldwell 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

I'm forwarding on an email on behalf of myself and Courtenay, We're attempting to create an intro video for the inkscape website located at http://djink.chrismorgan.info/about/ The following listed below is a sample of the video http://inkscape.org/~inc/mockup-intro-vid-started.mov If you're willing to assist with one of the parts please either A. reply to this email or B. add your name to the list here... https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1QDTbDv7SGZIyrBUvSoraC_587ROY49l-bV… Thanks, Ian Caldwell ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Hinerangi Courtenay I've updated the movie file with some sample shots ( http://inkscape.org/~inc/mockup-intro-vid-started.mov) - it gives a slightly clearer idea of the atmosphere I'm trying to create. Here is a list of shots still needed: • 5 second shot of Inkscape with docked dialogs open and a nice illustration being worked on • 3 second shot of Inkscape being used on Windows (XP/Vista/7) - full-screen recording with taskbars visible • 3.5 second shot of Inkscape being used on any Linux distro - full-screen with taskbars visible • 3-5 seconds each of 2-3 people using Inkscape for different purposes (eg. diagrams, artwork, logos, etc.) - to illustrate pro users & hobbyists • 10 second time-lapse/fast-motion of someone making art • 3 second close-up of pen tool or caligraphy tool in use • 4 seconds of something representing community - any suggestions? Ideally there would be different people for most of these - at worst we could get away with maybe 4? If anyone has any better ideas for shots already included, they're more than welcome to make suggestions. I think it would be useful to have an official Inkscape channel - then any videos created for the website could go there (promos, interviews, tutorials, etc). Youtube has a huge audience, and could draw more traffic to the Inkscape website.

Should inkscape take over libcroco?
by Daniel Macks 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

I just received a fairly surly reponse to a libcroco bug on bugzilla.gnome. Apparently the upstream is so inactive that gnome doesn't want to see bugs about it. Inkscape appears to be a major user of this library and (last I knew) had some unmerged (or at least unreleased) patches for it. Might be worthwhile for an inkscape dev to get developer access to the project on gnome to keep it alive. Bonus: could actually use it as an external dependency instead of needing bundled source? dan -- Daniel Macks dmacks@...2516...

[Fwd: Re: Autoconf 2.68 vs. 2.67 problem]
by ~suv 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Does any of the experts of Inkscape's current build system know a) Are changes in Inkscape's sources needed to avoid the warnings mentioned below, occuring with autoconf 2.68 installed? (See attached file for a log from inkscape trunk). b) Or is this is a platform-related issue that needs to be addressed in the portfile for autoconf in MacPorts? Original thread starts at <http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2011-January/023060.ht…> The same issue was briefly addressed on the autoconf mailing list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2010-09/threads.html#00074> but the answer (Upgrade to libtool 2.4) doesn't apply - libtool 2.4 is already installed. Possibly related discussions on the bug-autoconf mailing list: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2010-09/threads.html#00090> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2010-10/threads.html#00022> ~suv -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Autoconf 2.68 vs. 2.67 problem Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2011 00:45:49 +0100 From: ~suv <suv-sf@...58...> To: Dominik Reichardt <domiman@...400...> CC: MacPorts Users <macports-users@...2532...> References: <7B048C2B-C32D-4192-B5B3-512A7A22745C@...400...> On 5/1/11 00:00, Dominik Reichardt wrote: > $ ./autogen.sh > Generating build information using aclocal, autoheader, automake and autoconf > This may take a while ... > configure.in:41: warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body > ../../lib/autoconf/lang.m4:194: AC_LANG_CONFTEST is expanded from... > ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2591: _AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from... > ../../lib/autoconf/general.m4:2607: AC_COMPILE_IFELSE is expanded from... > configure.in:41: the top level <...> > Now you are ready to run ./configure. > Anyone know what is going on here?

Similar warning messages occur when running autogen.sh on a checkout or local branch of Inkscape trunk (outside of MacPorts, but using the dependencies installed via an up-to-date MacPorts installation) - only noticed after the autoconf port was updated to 2.68. It doesn't cause any configure and/or build failures though for Inkscape AFAICT. (Attached log file is from 2010-11-09; warnings still occur when rebuilding after updating the checkout/branch via bazaar) ~suv ============================================================================= I am testing that you have the required versions of autoconf, automake, glib-gettextize and intltoolize.

Fourth-year student projects
by Jean-Baptiste Mouret / Mandor 03 Jan '11

Hi Inkscape developers, I teach computer science in France (in this school: http://www.polytech.upmc.fr/version-english.html ) and my fourth-year students are required to work on a project for a few months (2-3 months), for about 2 days a week. Instead of asking them to do "random" projects, I would like them to (try to) contribute to open source projects. In particular, I would love that they contribute to Inkscape. We have three main constraints in the choice of the project: - be do-able by 2 students in a few months; - be a challenge interesting enough to provide work to 2 students for a few months; - include a design phase (understanding the topic, asking questions, designing a planning, find algorithms, etc.) and a coding phase (this excludes code cleaning, documentation, bug-fixes, etc.). Ideally, I would like the students to be mentored by an Inkscape developer who could answer their questions and give some directions; I'd like a least to be sure that the project is interesting for inkscape developers. You can think about this like something similar to the Google Summer of Code. The main difference is that we don't really select candidates so the students may not be very good and the project can obviously fail; but sometimes they can also be very efficient and motivated! I've checked the google summer of code page (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_Of_Code). The import/export code might be interesting to try with them. The font designing idea and the ICC support migh also be cool. Are these proposition still up-to-date? I'm of course open to other ideas. Something I was thinking about: I often use Inkscape to design posters and I'd really like to have an option to use the Knuth-Plass algorithm and hyphenation (at least in English). I know that they're not in the SVG specifications but this could be only for pdf exports. Another feature which would be useful is to be able to link text blocks (as do Indesign and Xpress) [again, this is not in the svg specs]. This would make an interesting challenge for our students. What do you think? Would some of you be interested in helping us? What task would you suggest? At any rate I need your help to calibrate a task (or several tasks) so it's not too hard but challenging enough. Thank you and merry Christmas.

OpenMP fix
by Krzysztof Kosiński 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I just discovered that OpenMP support (used to parallelize Gaussian blur) is not functional on Linux and OS X because of a missing AC_DEFINE. Here is a patch that fixes this problem. Admins: please apply to 0.48 branch also. Regards, Krzysztof

1 bug left for 0.48.1
by Josh Andler 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hey all, Given that I'm thinking a .2 will probably be in order, this is the one bug really holding back .1 from being released at this time. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/510618 Is anyone willing and able to look into this? If not, the only way that .1 will get out without it is to have someone pledge to fix it for 0.48.2 or 0.49 to be released (whichever makes sense in 4-6 months based on the current rate of progress). If 0.48.1 gets out without this fixed, it will not be avoidable as a fix after that... no exceptions, as unnecessarily hitting the undo-history or dirtying documents is incredibly bad practice. I hope we have a taker. Cheers, Josh

Dear open source and open minds friends I wish you the best for 2011 ! Here is an example of my research in image re-drawing and posterizing svg filter effects from 2010 cutted and pasted into the new custom filters we are working on Nicolas Dufour and me for Inkscape 0.49 Have a Great Year !!! ivan
