Hi everyone,
I am about to update the "getting started" instructions for new developers: https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/
If you have any further suggestions, feel free to answer. I'd like to consolidate all changes into one big edit because every change needs to be translated.
Here's my list of changes:
- git SSH -> change to HTTPS (as discussed a few months ago)
- "Install build dependencies": replace old "apt-get" instructions with the new script from inkscape-ci-docker. Download and run the script to install all requirements: wget -v https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/raw/master/install_dependenci... -O install_dependencies.sh bash install_dependencies.sh --recommended
- "/usr in the example" -> "in the example, it is installed in inst/ inside the source folder"
- "Versions <= 0.92" -> remove from tutorial, move to Wiki remove mentioning of autotools, as CMake is now the default
- do not mark optional arguments with "[ ]" so that copy-paste into the shell works. Also, omitting some of these arguments (e.g. ccache) will horribly slow down compilation, so they aren't truly optional. Instead, just add a note that these arguments may be omitted.
- after changes are published: remove redundant info from the Wiki page https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=CompilingUbuntu
Have a nice weekend,
Max
