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
Mvh

Even after fixing that typo, I get the same error as when I got

Shumis' build script:
It's "Shlomi". Since many non-Hebrew speakers have some difficulties

this name, I also go by the nickname âRindolfâ - see http://www.shlomifish.org/me/rindolf/ .
Shlomi - Sorry about that. Many call med "Olaf" as it's the most
popular
way to spell the name, so I no the pain ;)
That's OK. The most common misspelling for my name appears to be "Schlomi". Also "I no the pain" should be "I know the pain" (but that may have been intentional).
It was a misspelling. I write emails almost like IRC/IMs nowadays - a bit unfocussed and quick...

You need to install the libjpeg's development package. What is your operating system, distribution, their versions, etc.?
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.
I installed all packages mentioned on this page:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingUbuntu#Installing_dependenc...
I also had to add "bzr" and "ccache", which is strictly required to
build
the trunk version of Inkscape.
Of course I also added "cmake" which was the whole point of trying out cmake instead of autogen+configure :).
I also tried installing all the additional packages mentioned on that
wiki
page too, but it did not help.
I do understand that I need the JPEG dev package, but if it JPEG lib
is a
strict requirement to build Inkscape, it should be listed on the wiki.
Well, it's the nature of documentation that it goes out-of-date, but you are right - it should be updated.
Yep, it's also a good indicator that Inkscape has clear potential at lowering the bar for new contributors, developers in particular: just update the wiki.
I'm sure keeping the wiki up-to-date is not your main focus, but it should be for anyone interested in increasing the collaborative dev effort of this great piece of open source software.
Thanks for you patience Shlomi (or should I call you Rindolf?). For the time being, I've taken a step back and am using autogen.sh + configure, as I've gotten that to work previously.
