Hello colleagues,

1)

it's correct, the wiki points to a subversion repository

https://lib2geom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lib2geom/lib2geom/trunk

which i checked out as version r2059, the svn log | head tells me:

lobi1@...3065...:~/lib2geom/trunk$ svn log | head
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2059 | tweenk | 2010-07-21 22:18:35 +0200 (Mi, 21 Jul 2010) | 2 lines

(and last check-in more than 3 years ago doesn't look like recent development...).

This version runs cmake with everything found except:

-- blas Includes, Compile and Link Flags: NOT FOUND
-- pycairo Includes, Compile and Link Flags: NOT FOUND

generates a makefile, make breaks with:

lobi1@...3065...:~/lib2geom/trunk$ make
[ 1%] Building CXX object src/2geom/CMakeFiles/2geom.dir/affine.cpp.o
In file included from /home/lobi1/lib2geom/trunk/src/2geom/affine.cpp:15:0:

make[1]: *** [src/2geom/CMakeFiles/2geom.dir/all] Error 2

which looks strangely as C++ header trouble.

I followed the link in
http://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/#bazaar

and in section Inkscape development tells me:The geometry library lib2geom, written in C++, is intended to eventually become a separate project. You can get the latest version of lib2geom from its Launchpad repository.

So i bzr from the launchpad repository,

bzr log | head tells me:

lobi1@...3065...:~/lib2geom/lib2geom$ bzr log | head
------------------------------------------------------------
revno: 2161
committer: Johan B. C. Engelen <j.b.c.engelen@...3066...>
branch nick: lib2geom

message:
use proper std:: namespace for std::size_t, because of cstddef include. fixes build for some ppl
------------------------------------------------------------

which i considered a lot more recent.

The cmake claims the same missing as above, make however runs through and produces both the library and the toy programs.

make test fails as:
...
60% tests passed, 6 tests failed out of 15

Total Test time (real) =   1.00 sec

The following tests FAILED:

My system is a std 12.04 Ubuntu on

lobi1@...3065...:~/lib2geom/lib2geom$ uname -a

Wishing a happy day,
