[Inkscape-devel] pdf-input.cpp:544: error: '_preview_output_dev' was not declared in this scope

16 Oct 2007


      Hello all,
I've had this question about a compilation error with inkscape trunk on
inkscape-users for a few weeks now, and I'm moving it here to inkscape-dev
to see if I can get it in front of the right eyes. I'm really missing the
fun of running inkscape trunk.
I expect this is something specific to my platform (multiple
machines running Gentoo ~x86), and not a general problem with the
codebase, since I haven't seen other reports of this particular
compilation error. There are no relevant Gentoo bugs filed for this issue.
If anyone had suggestions on possible problems with or missing
dependencies, please let me know.
The ebuild I'm using to build /trunk is nearly identical to the working
inkscape-0.45.1.ebuild. Maybe I'm missing a recently added dependency.
Alternatively, if there's a .configure option that can suppress
compilation of this pdfinput extension, I'd be more than happy to use
that as a workaround.
Thanks,

I don't turn on postscript because I don't want tcl (via skencil), but
there are other dependencies pulled in that could be necessary to avoid
the compilation error in pdfinput:

This is with a pseudonym tarball inkscape-0.45.2,tar.gz created
from trunk r16262. The behavior has been the same since late september.
Thanks again.
