I use Gentoo, so my poppler should be "my own" build. Same with Jeff. (Had you figured this out yet, Jeff?) Is it maybe that some switch needs to be passed to poppler when building it? JF

Startup crash on OS X
by John Faith 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

Hello, I found that this small change prevents a startup crash on OS X 10.3.9 (also added to https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/185689): --- inkscape.trunk/src/sp-filter.cpp.orig Sat Dec 22 12:15:36 2007 +++ inkscape.trunk/src/sp-filter.cpp.noStartupCrash Sat Feb 2 08:55:03 2008 @@ -110,7 +110,7 @@ sp_filter_init(SPFilter *filter) filter->_renderer = NULL; - filter->_image_name = map<gchar *, int, ltstr>(); + filter->_image_name.clear(); filter->filterRes = NumberOptNumber(); While I'm happy that Inkscape can actually run, it's not obvious to me why this fixes the crash, nor if this is generaly an acceptable thing to do. Could someone possibly test that this does not cause a problem on another platform? By the way, after applying this patch, I have another crash in sp-filter.cpp when opening "Help->About Inkscape", so I wonder if there's either a std::map problem with gcc 3.3 or memory is getting trashed. Random theories welcome :-). Thanks!, John

Inkscape native Mac OS X build & look improvements
by Adam Strzelecki 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

Hello, I've recently switched for good to MacOSX (after several years of work with Windows). I'm user and fan Inkscape. On Windows there was pretty well working native build, while it is missing on MacOSX (X11 build is pretty slow and not handy) So I've decided to make it myself and now share my experience with you. Attached the screenshot of my running native OSX (Leopard) version of Inkscape (no, it's not a fake ! ;P) I've used the recipe from http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX with MacPorts. Here are my changes to original MacPorts recipe: 1) I've updated to latest GTK+2 using: (you need to do the same or Inkscape will be crashing every few seconds) port edit gtk2 version 2.12.5 checksums md5 588c7fb3d9ebadf4f5a1ab4c534e4db5 port install gtk2 +quartz 2) I've downgraded boehmgc to 6.8 (latest 7.0 causes Inkscape to hang (never ending loop) on startup) port edit boehmgc version 6.8 distname ${d_name}${version} checksums sha1 6d5def5ba5d29292ba9c76f04df3ec06d3ab3278 3) Applied my own-cooked patch Inkscape_OSX_native_menu_and_toolbars.patch (attached) * src/widgets/toolbox.cpp: removes tb_s, tb_e spacers from the toolbars to they DON'T have ugly underlines (who did invent this anyway, this produces ugly look in most GTK themes where toolbars are 2x inset in the GUI, I believe this should be removed anyway in all builds (platforms)) * src/ige-mac-menu.[c/h]: sources for native Carbon Mac top menu wrapper instead of having the menu inside the window (taken from GIMP sources) * src/interface.cpp: use ige_mac_menu_set_menu_bar on native GTK (Quartz) for menu and return NULL so no menu is displayed in the Window itself * configure.ac: add Carbon checking and libs define required ige-mac- menu * src/Makefile_insert: add Carbon libs and ige-mac-menu sources * removes packaging/macosx/Resources/themes/Clearlooks-Quicksilver- OSX: we should take Leopardish-normal theme instead from: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Leopardish?content=65299 which is far more adequate for GTK looking like OSX 4) then normally built with packaging/macosx/osx-build.sh a c b i p 5) fixed Inkscape.app so it is displayed as single Launch bar icon named "Inkscape" by: * removing Contents/Resources/getdisplay.sh & Contents/Resources/ inkscape (we don't need those in native !) * renaming Contents/Resources/inkscape-bin to Contents/Resources/ Inkscape * replacing Contents/MacOS/Inkscape with simple shell script that sets cwd to Inkscape.app and runs Contents/Resources/bin/Inkscape: > #!/bin/sh > PRG="$0" > while [ -h "$PRG" ] ; do > ls=`ls -ld "$PRG"` > link=`expr "$ls" : '.*-> $.*$$'` > if expr "$link" : '/.*' > /dev/null; then > PRG="$link" > else > PRG=`dirname "$PRG"`"/$link" > fi > done > DIR="`dirname $PRG`" > cd $DIR > cd ../.. > exec Contents/Resources/bin/Inkscape 6) Changed GTK theme (with gtk-chtheme) to Leopardish and font "Geneva 11pt" - MacOSX default And the result is Inkscape looking & working like native OSX (Leopard) application: * native look with GTK Leopardish-normal theme * native menus with ige-mac-menu-bar * native Name and application in Launch bar Yet I found some problems while doing those changes: * ige-mac-menu doesn't map properly keyboard shortcuts as it should (as it does with GIMP), those should be mapped with Ctrl<->Cmd transition, while they're not mapped at all with Inkscape * ige-mac-menu trick with returning NULL to avoid display the 2nd menu in the window makes probably some problem with updating the menu in the app in later stages so things like recent files don't show up in the app menu anymore * ige-mac-menu should be extended with Inkscape (bold) menu entries for preferences and application closure (I hope Mac users will know what I mean) * my tricks with Inkscape.app are as dirty as old tricks for X11 version, I believe that proper solution should anyway place final native binary of Inkscape in Contents/Resources/MacOS and map properly path in Contents/Resources for lib, etc, share,.. and so on without intermediate shell scripts (like mine) * toolbox should be set to small icons by default (SVN is set to big icons), unless the Inkscape window will forced to set its minimum height of toolbox height, which results in Inkscape not being resizable vertically on my MacBook at all ! (being too big) * Leopardish-normal theme and "Geneva 11pt" should be set by default in Inkscape.app somehow if no GTK settings (or other GTK installation) are present * ... and finally there's some problem with SVG View repaint, everytime it repaints (when opening or activating Inkscape window) the view is afterward erased by default (grayish) color (???) and then when I move the mouse over the view (which is erased with solid color), the repaints 2nd time, this time the proper output stays on screen. I believe it is problem of Inkscape not GTK+ cos it doesn't happen in any other place but just SVG (Document) view. Anyway my build works pretty well, there're some minor annoyances in some windows (like File open window) however it seems to be pretty stable (doesn't crash) and responsible. I hope it will help you (Developers) to make some time native OSX official builds... maybe 0.46 !? Best regards, -- Adam Strzelecki |: nanoant.com :|

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Pencil toolbar
by R M 02 Feb '08

> Also: maybe while you're at it, you could also add the tolerance > slider to the controls bar of the tool, which is a very long-standing > feature gap. here's a patch to add the tolerance control to the slider: http://arcsin.org/temp/toolbox.diff one major problem is that it doesn't listen for preference changes and will get out of sync with the tolerance control in the inkscape-preferences panel. I didn't see any obvious way to remedy this. Is there one, or does one need to be written (setup a signal to connect to, to be notified)? rob

Win32 lib bundle again
by Bob Jamison 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi again, Oops. I didn't see that Carl Worth uploaded another snapshot of Cairo, 1.5.8, the other night. I uploaded the bundle again: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/devlibs-2.12-080201.7z and there is another build already with it: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape0802012216.7z If you downloaded already, sorry I missed that one. bob

LPE plugin framework
by unknown＠example.com 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi all, I'd like to start working on building a *plugin* framework for the LPEs (for example, but maybe tools too? dunno, let's try with LPE 1st). My motivation is two-fold: 1. I'd like people to be able to create new LPEs without requiring a new Inkscape release, like the current python extensions 2. it seems a challenging task! :) I'd like to hear opinions, tips, critique, everything about this from you. Dr Dobb's has very recently published articles about building such a framework which I am intending to follow (haven't read any of it, except the title). Again what do you think of this? Regards, Johan

Considering the set that you're missing you probably only need to install something like "gtkmm-2.4-dev" or "gtkmm-2.4-devel". It's not a bug, it's a very apt warning :) > Any chance of someone producing a F8 rpm? The previous Fedora packager left the project, I'm unsure if someone from the Fedora project has decided to replace him. I hope so. --Ted
