configure: error: You have a broken version of the <tr1/unordered_set> header
by Wolf Drechsel 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Hi everybody, I did a bzr checkout and tried to compile a more recent version of inkscape - both: X11 and aqua. In both procedures the following configure error occured: > configure: error: You have a broken version of the <tr1/ > unordered_set> header. See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ > CompilingMacOsX for information on how to fix this problem. The wiki page says I shall get a > Working version of the <tr1/unordered_set> and <tr1/unordered_map> > headers but doesnt say how I can get one. Could someone tell me? BTW.: What I noticed is that the osx-build.sh script still contains some code on svn. This may not be relevant in this context - but might be worth to be fixed occasionally. Shall I file it as a bug? Yours, Wolf

Inkscape 0.48 About Screen Contest - slight delay
by Joshua A. Andler 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hey all, I was looking forward to announcing the contest beginning today... however we will have a slight delay before it begins. The reason behind the delay... we need some new builds with new features for our users! So, would packagers for win32 and OSX be willing to put some builds together soon for our users? Please respond if you will be able to help with this. Cheers, Josh

enhancing shortcuts schemes
by Alexandre Prokoudine 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hi, It's probably not very well known that keyboard shortcuts in localized (e.g. Russian) UI do not work in Windows. This is one of the oldest GTK+ bugs that nobody bothers to fix. A user has just come up with an clever hackaround that looks like this: bind key="g" action="ToolGradient" / bind key="G" action="ToolGradient" / bind key="Cyrillic_pe" action="ToolGradient" / bind key="Cyrillic_PE" action="ToolGradient" / That is, he specifically maps Russian "P" character which is on the same key that English "G" is. He also patched relevant parts for Illustrator, Corel DRAW etc. schemes. This is probably not Dvorak-pron, though. Should we ship patched versions of the shortcut schemes? Alexandre

Which GSoC project would do the most good?
by Krzysztof Kosiński 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hello I'd like to know the opinion of others: which of those projects would be the most beneficial in the long run and at the same time can be finished in the GSoC timeframe? 1. Convert renderer to Cairo - drawing speedups. 2. C++ize the SP layer and make XML nodes private.* 3. Multi shape editing - ability to edit more than 1 shape (like ellipse or star) at once, with extra features like resizing rectangles by dragging their edges. 4. Remove livarot in favor of 2Geom, improving 2Geom where necessary (e.g. boolops). *) When XML nodes are private, it's much easier to implement backwards compatibility - we just implement the reading of obsolete versions in the corresponding SP object. It's pretty much required to solve the problems with flowtext and markers on rect. The idea is to make the SP layer slightly more DOM-like so that it can be exported through D-Bus. It seems like the only way to seriously decruftize Inkscape, but I'm not sure if it's doable in 2 months. Maybe somebody has an idea for a project that could do it at least partially? Regards, Krzysztof

Wiki ref to mail archive
by unknown＠example.com 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

In http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Inkscape_SVG_vs._plain_SVG there is a link [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7412326&forum_id=375… ref] which appears to be included to point to background for the Wiki article. Since SourceForge no longer seems to use that form of reference to the archive (for instance, forum_name is now used instead of forum_id), that link is broken. Searching the archive for "Inkscape SVG" doesn't seem to point to any useful background discussion. Can anyone recall any key words that may have been included in the thread title so we can relink the Wiki article to the discussion? Or shall I remove the Wiki link?

report: Mac OS X aqua in productive use
by Wolf Drechsel 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hi everybody, I've used inkscape 0.47 AQUA PPC, devel-r9101, OS 10.4.11 now for several days in my daily work as a public transport consultant. There are two standard crashs (reported here: https:// bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/527571 and here: https:// bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/528632) which occasionally occur. In general, there is some trouble using the aqua variant - but with some care and adventuresomeness it can be used for productive work. Here is my very personal wishlist for next steps: * Fix bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/527571 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/528632 - these are the most important ones. * do some ige-mac-integration work in order to make the inkscape-bin icon dissappear from the programme switcher and remap ctrl to cmd key After that I'd regard it as ready for an alpha release. I want to say thank you to everybody who has made it possible - I really do admire the tough and steady work. Yours, Wolf

Needing a set of web buttons, I created three filters for 3-state buttons. I'd be happy to contribute these. If this is desirable, how would I go about contributing them to the source? JF

inkscape aqua PPC alpha for testing
by Wolf Drechsel 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hello friends, thanks to many hints, especially by ~suv, a new ready-for-testing inkscape aqua can be downloaded here: http://verkehrsplanung.com/Inkscape_aqua_PPC_047.zip It should launch alone without any macports environment, may immediately kill the X11 after its launch - and makes a quite useable impression. It was made on a PPC, 10.4.11. Unluckily I cannot switch to the universal variants at the moment, so I'd be grateful if some intel owner would check whether it runs on rosetta. I manually removed i386 python components, this may cause intel machines to get in trouble. Also, I couldnt check whether it works on Leopard or Snowie… If somebody has some spare time, maybe he wants to have a look at it. The recipe can be found here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ CompilingMacOsX#Building_Aqua_February_2010 Yours, Wolf
