I am convinced the problem is with the path that Inkscape is seeing. When I divert all stdout to file, I see the following: ________________________being log_______________________ ** (inkscape.exe:4148): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document* sp_repr_read_file(const gchar*, const gchar*): assertion 'Inkscape::IO::f ile_test( filename, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS )' failed
** (inkscape.exe:4148): WARNING **: Unable to read keys file I:\oss-dev\msys\opt\inkspace\bin/opt/inkspace/share\share\keys\default.xm l
** (inkscape.exe:4148): WARNING **: Null pixbuf for 00000000037DFA60 [I:\oss-dev\msys\opt\inkspace\bin/opt/inkspace/share\share\icons\ remove-color.png]
Can you describe in some more detail how you are building Inkscape?
The standard way to do it is to use btool. These strange paths, with mixtures of Unix and Windows components, might be an artifact of using Autotools within MSYS.
