Native OS X build
by Jon A. Cruz 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

Has anyone been looking at trying out building the native OS X version of GTK+? I've not quite gotten the time myself to get my dev environment switched over to try it, but it sounds like it might be getting close enough to give a shot. If nothing else, if we start trying to build an OS X native Inkscape with it, we'll be able to find problems that others aren't hitting yet. Anyone interested? Oh, and I'd talked briefly with Aaron Voisine who does Gimp.app about his experience getting the native GTK+ going, and he had these details: > It wasn't too bad, though you'll want a seperate fink installation to > play with. I moved /sw to /sw.orig and /usr/X11R6 to /usr/X11R6.orig > to move back when I finished.

Hi, ACSpike have added a "Fit canvas to selection" button, which is a great addition when creating SVG images for a web page. I have a couple of suggestions: 1) Should the numbers in the "Custom size" just above the button be updated? 2) Should the word "canvas" replace with "page", to be consistent with the "Page size" and "Page orientation" just above? 3) Would it be more logical to have the button inside the "Custom Size" box? Note also that: the "page size" menu has a big empty gap above the "custom", but when I scroll down, the gap disapear. I'm running Inkscape 0.43+devel, built Apr 22 2006, on Win2k. Joc

./configure fails on Mac OS X 10.4.6
by Andrew Wilson 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

As of today, ./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_HERE On Mac OS X 10.4.6 reports: --- snip --- checking for pkg-config... /sw/bin/pkg-config checking for png_read_info in -lpng... no configure: error: libpng >= 1.2 is needed to compile inkscape --- snip - no more lines of output from configure --- This is for a fresh FINK install as per: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX ./configure ends without reporting a summary. I'm trying 'make' now but I'm not sure if it's proceeding with a previous 'good' configuration or a partialy written 'bad' one...

[Fwd: [CREATE] Announcing next year's Libre Graphics Meeting]
by Bryce Harrington 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hi all, The decision for next year's Libre Graphics Meeting has been finalized for Montreal in 2007. Of course, it's still a year away, but I'd like to encourage everyone to think about making plans to attend. We had a *great* time this year in Europe, and it was a good opportunity to share notes with all the other graphic app developers. Bryce ----- Forwarded message from David Neary <dneary@...8...> ----- Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 21:54:10 +0200 From: David Neary <dneary@...8...> To: create@...330... Subject: [CREATE] Announcing next year's Libre Graphics Meeting Hi all, So, dates have come and gone, propositions were received, and Louis Desjardin's proposal to have Libre Graphics Meeting 2007 in Montreal has received unanimous support. So there you have it - next year's LGM will be in Canada. Thanks to Louis for taking this on, I had a great time organising the first one, along with everyone else who helped, and I look forward to seeing you all next year. Louis, take it away! Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary bolsh@...85...

The recent builds at http://mrchapp2.homelinux.net/~inkscape/ crash on startup. I'm not sure whom personally to contact about it, but this needs to be fixed ASAP, as it's linked from our download page. I tried other people's builds today and they work fine, so it's something with the build environment. This bug: http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1472859 suggests that all that is needed is make clean. Please, can we do a make clean always on these autobuilds, or at least once a day? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Inkscape 0.44 release planning

Hmm, actually it looks like the bug tracker is in quite good shape. In November last year, around the time of the 0.43 release, we had around 250-300 bugs (out of 1736 total), and today we're at 339 (out of 2068). Looks like Bulia and others have been doing well keeping on top of the tracker. That puts us in a good spot going into the release. :-) How do people feel about the overall robustness of inkscape presently? I assume there are still some issues in recently implemented features, but beyond that do you feel there is a lot of stabilization work needed, or just a little? Bryce

Try just a simple click instead of a click and drag. Oops, I didn't know about this limitation. Thank you for pointing it out, Aaron. Alexandre
