intro for developers
by Alexandre Prokoudine 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hi, Recently a person reported to out bug tracker that the website doesn't provide good introduction information for new developers. So I've just taken a look at http://inkscape.org/doc/devdocs.php and I have several questions: 1. Do you find this information overall sufficient? 2. Last changes to http://inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DeveloperManual date back to February 2007. Would anyone mind having a look and saying whether something needs changes? (btw, our wiki outputs errors again) 3. Does the flowchart at http://inkscape.org/doc/devdocs.php really reflect current state of source code? 4. Same question about class hierarchy image. Thanks! :) Alexandre

testsuite painting-marker-02-f.svg
by unknown＠example.com 04 Jan '09

Hi all, I am working on some testsuite fails, and am now stuck on painting-marker-02-f.svg. Apparently, the stroke thickness of the markers should be inherited from the path they are on. This does not work in Inkscape. How should this inheritence be done? (is there an example of how this is usually done in inkscape?) Thanks, Johan

While I don't have the time to actually help with your cmake stuff, I can answer questions and provide tips how to do things/where to look for stuff. Alex

I don't use Windows, but I know that some fixes for command lines which were too long went into cmake, so I think it probably works with CMake 2.6.2. Alex

This is supported by CMake: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Generator_Specific_Information#Makefile_gen… Alex

using inkscape -> plotters in windows...
by stuart 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

Hi... First, how do you people do this? Window drivers are a nightmare! For instance, where do they start and where do applications end? People are talking about HPGL, SVG ... I just when round and round w/the Graphtec drivers for their C200-20 and C100-20 plotters. I am convinced they not only control the plotters but also translate depending on the application. That is, I have been told, that printing from Word using the graphics found in the Word's WordArt feature can actually cut on a Graphtec Craftrobo. How would this be possible unless the driver were also translating the output of the Word application. Guess I'm really asking, in windows, using inkscape, is the accepted "go-between" format between application and drivers PostScript? So, if anyone dares to write a windows driver, they can at least count on that much? Also, I understand that the "pipe the output feature" of inkscape was recently broken (during a revamping). Is that true? Has it been fixed? ...thanks

I'm new to the list. But I'd like to see a cmake-build solution. It's more flexible and easier to maintain on multiple platforms. Also it would be easier for me to integrate additional libraries for testing-purposes ;-) > The problem we had with cmake was that it puts obj files in some special dir that is long, and then creates a commandline like: > g++ verylongpathlisting/blah.o possiblyevenlongerpathname/blah2.o ... > such that the cmdline is too long to work with windows/g++ > I don't know your MinGW environment, but this problem is known and seems to be solved here: http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.programming.html#faq.programming.make-execvp

CMake status
by Krzysztof Kosiński 31 Dec '08

31 Dec '08

This was raised in another thread, but I think this issue is fairly important - what is the status of CMake? Having three parallel build systems (homebrew buildtool, autotools and CMake) is at least awkward. I understand that migrating to CMake would allow us to remove the Windows build system. On the other hand, figuring out how to compile Inkscape on Windows using MinGW and MSYS would do the same.
