I just updated Inkscape's copy to the latest 2geom svn rev. I tried to add the GSL dependency to configure.ac but have no way to check whether it has gone wrong or not.
You didn't specify a version. Does this mean it works with every version of GSL ever released? What's the oldest version that the code works correctly with? How old is this version? Which versions of which Linux distros does it stop us from being compatible with?
Adding a new dependency is a lot of work.
I am very sorry if this breaks your build :-(
Please don't do this. If you can't test it, don't check it in. Make a patch and submit a bug.
It's more understandable that people running Linux don't check the Windows build because it would cost them literally hundreds of dollars to do so. Not testing on Linux is just a matter of effort.
