hello,

i am not a programmer. i use inkscape on mac sierra. i use the following build. this seems to be the answer for mac as this version seems to star quicker than the "official" build and since there is no one other than this lone developer attempting the feat of incorporating quartz rather than using it as a third party install. since you folks are wanting to help out with the development and compilation of inkscape for mac, why not try this build (gotta uninstall quartz though) and contact the developer and move on this version for mac. you might find this version of inkscape to your liking.

https://github.com/valerioa/Inkscape-MacOS-Curated-Build/releases

sure would like to see this version become the norm for mac; and maybe you folks might be able to bring 0.92.3 to the forefront.

hth,

dwain

I'm not on mac, so I can't help much beyond that, but a good start is probably the CI script we already have, see
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml#L43-74
which seems to compile nicely.

It's for master, so in order to compile for 0.92.x one would have to exchange some of the gtk3 dependecies with their gtk2 counterparts, but otherwise it might proove useful.

Which errors are you getting? You can try using https://brew.sh/ or similar to
resolve dependencies. Make sure you are using cmake.
