Spell checking
by Tavmjong Bah 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

Hi, I am wondering how I can get the spell checker to work. I have compiled Inkscape from today's cvs on a Fedora Core 4 system and as with past versions of Inkscape, the spell checking doesn't work. Yes, I am looking at the Text tab in the Text and Font dialog. Can someone give me some hints on where to begin to debug the problem? Thanks, Tav

[msalsbury@...58...: Just passing along well-earned kudos]

----- Forwarded message from Michael Salsbury <msalsbury@...58...> ----- Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 07:26:47 -0700 From: Michael Salsbury <msalsbury@...58...> To: bryce@...58... Subject: Just passing along well-earned kudos Message body follows: I've only very recently heard of Inkscape (say in the last couple of months). Recently I downloaded the software and tried it out on a Mac OS X machine, as part of an article I'm researching for my blog. After spending a few hours with Inkscape, I was impressed enough with your work to write a "compare and contrast" review for my blog: http://mikesalsbury.com/mambo/content/view/231/1/ In case you don't have time to read it, I compared Inkscape to Macromedia FreeHand MXa and it compared very favorably. I found a few things in each product I didn't find in the other. Most of what I found in FreeHand that isn't in Inkscape didn't seem to be anything I would personally want, need, or expect to find in an illustration program. Since there's no appropriate forum I can find for communicating this information to the development team for Inkscape (i.e., it's not a bug, not a tip/trick, etc.) I decided to take a moment to write some of the developers directly. I'm very impressed with what you've done and look forward to seeing future releases! -- This message has been sent to you, a registered SourceForge.net user, by another site user, through the SourceForge.net site.

Hi list, Thanks to the help of Michael Wybrow who made the process really easy I have a development binary of inkscape for mac os X build from last CVS snapshot. Here is what is activated at the end of the compilation process. Is it OK or do you want gnome-print and gnome-vfs? Configuration: Source code location: . Destination path prefix: /Volumes/files/softwares/inkscape_compiled/ Compiler: g++ CPPFLAGS: -I/sw/include -O3 -Wall CXXFLAGS: -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -Woverloaded-virtual -Wswitch -Wno-unused-parameter -I/sw/include -O3 -Wall CFLAGS: -Wall -W -I/sw/include -O3 -Wall LDFLAGS: -L/sw/lib Use Xft font database: yes Use gnome-print: no Use gnome-vfs: no Use openoffice files: yes Use MMX optimizations: no Use relocation support: no Use Python extensions: skipped Use Perl extensions: skipped Enable Inkboard: no If this is ok, where should I put it now? I have no space to host it myself. If this proves to be useful I plan on making such a build on a weekly basis.

Exposing low-level errors to user?
by Colin Marquardt 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hi, should we expose low-level errors such as this example here to users?: #: ../src/jabber_whiteboard/message-utilities.cpp:168 msgid "" "ID for new object is NULL even after generation and lookup attempts: the new " "object will NOT be sent, nor will any of its child objects!" I don't think the intended audience can make any use of this. If this is just meant for debugging, then please don't mark it as translatable. Also, there are some string like this: "%1 has invited you to a " "whiteboard session.\n" Please split the string so that only the part inside the is marked up translatable, i.e. "%1 has invited you to a "whiteboard session." In the name of the poor translators :), Colin -- I don't believe in astrology. But then I'm an Aquarius, and Aquarians don't believe in astrology.

Compiling problem on win32
by Joshua A. Andler 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

This is too bizarre... with fresh CVS, the newest libs, and a new install of mingw that's all up to date (fresh install, not upgrade), I am unable compile. I have everything in default locations so I am sure that is not the issue. It appears that it might be translation related since it references i18n stuff, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, the compiler dies with the following: ---snip--- In file included from c:/gtk28/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/i18n.h:27, from dialogs/clonetiler.cpp:19: c:/gtk28/include/glib-2.0/glib/gi18n.h:25:1: warning: "_" redefined In file included from dialogs/clonetiler.cpp:14: c:/gtk28/perl/lib/CORE/config.h:3782:1: warning: this is the location of the pre vious definition In file included from dialogs/../verbs.h:16, from dialogs/clonetiler.cpp:28: dialogs/../require-config.h:2:3: #error "Must #include config.h (ifdef HAVE_CONF IG_H) before anything else." make[1]: *** [dialogs/clonetiler.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/cvs/inkscape/inkscape_pedro/inkscape/src' make: *** [dist] Error 2 ---------- If anyone has any ideas, I'd be more than happy to try anything at this point. -Josh

print direct menue not default
by Adib Taraben 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi , in the current CVS version I miss the print-direct function, is it only a wrong default in meues.xml ? When I delete all my personal settings and restart Inkscape I miss this menue. The print function is there. I would expect to have all possible menues in the default. I know there was a thread about this. What is the curent status ? Thx, Adib.

RE: [Inkscape-devel] Windows Packaging: WinLibre

Peter, This Beta was issued in July. The final 0.4 release will include the last Inkscape release. I hope to release it this month (I've still a lot of work with the Google Summer of Code students...)

I notice in yesterday's announcement of WinLibre 0.4.0 beta1 (http://www.winlibre.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=323) that it includes inkscape 0.41. You might consider doing something to save yourself from a barrage of "Inkscape gives this nasty error about missing dependencies" questions. One way of addressing this would of course be to switch to 0.42.2 :) . Are there any issues in 0.42.2 (not present in 0.41) that you'd like to tell us? Is the exclusion of 0.42.2 just because you haven't had enough time to test it (and there were some windows problems in the original 0.42), or is there something else? pjrm.

Windows Packaging: WinLibre
by Peter Moulder 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

[Bcc'd to Pierre-Jean Coudert of WinLibre; replies will go to inkscape-devel alone: I don't want to send too much unsolicited mail his way. Pierre-Jean, tu peux voir les réponses à http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=36054 si tu veux, et tu peux me répondre si tu veux que je fasse suivre à inkscape-devel.] Every now and again, we come across packaging problems on Windows, and we say "It would be good to be able to hand these problems off to distributors, as we do for a number of un*x distributions", or "Someone should create a windows package consisting of inkscape, gimp, and perhaps other gtk software, so that they can share libraries." I've just today discovered WinLibre, which does this: http://www.winlibre.com/en/index.php It comes in two variants: a 650kB version that allows you to select which components you want (like a net install of a gnu/linux distribution), or a 171MB version suitable for putting on a CD. However, I don't yet know to what extent WinLibre engages in packaging activities: i.e. do they just grab the Windows binary that we provide, or do they get the source so that they can share libraries between the programs ? (If it gives any clues, the News page mentions handling package dependencies, and that it uses InnoSetup 5.0.) Is there anything we can do to work more closely with WinLibre ? (Another compilation of Free Software for Windows is http://www.theopencd.org/. It has a good reputation, but it doesn't yet include Inkscape, and my impression from a couple of minutes at their web site is that they just use the binaries provided by individual projects rather than do much packaging/integration work themselves. As I say, that's just an impression that may well be wrong.) pjrm.
