Hi all,
I'm trying to get inkscape to run on the mac. I downloaded a zip of the code (recently) & installed a handful of packages using ports.
Which "zip"? The source code is normally in a compressed tarball.
There was one dependency that I couldn't get to resolve using any ports package, which is libsoup. I installed it using brew & then the code will compile.
It will run, but not correctly. I put in a symlink from /usr/share/inkscape to my build tree share directory & it does load the items on the right & left sides, but without any of the images that tell what they are. I would rather not have a symlink in /usr/share, but instead just have the build read from the build tree.
Are there any people developing on mac out there that can share their configuration & settings & tell me what parameters need to be set & where?
Thanks, Beth
Did you do "cmake -D…" followed by "make" and "make install"? See inkscape* at https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/tree/master/shlomif-set... .
