Hi Olof,

sorry about chiming in into a discussion that is not exactly my area of
expertise.

Would you mind making a list of things you had to do for building
Inkscape, or even editing the corresponding Wiki page to give a good path
for others to follow?

If the 'pull from trunk ppa, then apt-get build-dep' works well, that's
probably by far the quickest and easiest way for Ubuntu - it's the one
listed on the website, too :), but it won't work on non-Ubuntu (non-deb?)
based systems, AFAIK... - are there current, working instructions for
those anywhere?

I'd be happy to give you edit permissions or - if you don't want to edit
yourself - to update the page with the info you can give at the end of
your endeavour :)

(if anyone would like to do the same for Windows / OSX, and check if the
rest of the instructions for Linux here:
https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/
are still correct, that would be awesome!)

Thank you,
 regards,
 Maren
