So can you please help us shipping ( or doing this if possible for us ) a stand alone ( one file only ) copy of inkscape without GUI, just the command line,
Just a curiosity, how would one go about this? Is this a new executable target like inkview that would parse SVG and generate output files?
Yes, but. I think you'll also have to rearrange a lot of the files to remove the GTK+ dependencies that are in them. A lot of GTK stuff has been pushed into GLib with wrappers located in the GTK library. So you'd probably have to figure out where these are and push them down also. A lot of that work was driven by the GStreamer folks wanting to not depend on a GUI also.
All in all, I would say it is possible. But it is a significant amount of work. If we're shipping three binaries it'd probably be worth looking at building shared libraries instead of static ones... I'll do that if you do the rest ;)
