Hi Michael,

I just copied and pasted my own instruction here. It’s already very similar to what’s on wiki and what Liam gave to you, but the configure process is a little different. I also want to clarify that this is for Inkscape 0.91, not 0.48. (The 0.91 is what you get from the trunk anyway). Let me know if it works!

Get the dependencies right

sudo port install gettext

sudo port install boost
sudo port install libsigcxx2
sudo port install cairo +quartz -x11

sudo port install cairomm +quartz -x11

sudo port install pango +quartz -x11

sudo port install pangomm +quartz -x11

sudo port install gdk-pixbuf2 -x11

sudo port install gtk2 +quartz -x11

sudo port install atkmm

sudo port install gtkmm +quartz -x11

sudo port install boehmgc gsl bzr lcms

Fetch Inkscape repo and build

mkdir Inkscape

cd Inkscape

bzr branch lp:inkscape trunk

mkdir trunk_build

cd trunk_build

../trunk/autogen.sh

../trunk/configure --prefix=YOUR_BUILD_DIRECTORY --disable-static --enable-shared CC="clang" CXX="clang++" CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -I/opt/local/include" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include -U__STRICT_ANSI__"

For debug, add -g in both flags. Make sure to change “debug=true” in .configure

make -j 4

make install

src/inkscape

Warnings:

• Fetch Inkscape source code directly from bzr.
• Don’t forget “make install” or you will end up having weird errors like this
• “make install” every time you create a new “build” directory
