This is a courtesy email to let you guys know what has happened with "Inkscape Lite". Awhile back I received some help from this mail-list, to choose an appropriate version of Inkscape for use in Puppy Linux.
I chose v0.36, which was the last that used C, not C++, and did not use GTKmm. I made some very small mods to the source and the result we named "InkscapeLite", or just "InkLite" and it appeared in Puppy version 2.10 and now in v2.11.
Puppy home page: http://www.puppyos.com/ Download page: http://www.puppyos.com/download/downpage.htm
The binary tarball for InkscapeLite is to be found at Ibiblio: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pupget_packages...
The source tarball is at: http://puptrix.org/sources/
We also have binary tarballs for the full Inkscape, v0.43 and it is interesting to compare sizes:
Binary pkg Executable share/inkscape v0.43 shared gtkmm 3807K 1932K v0.43 static gtkmm 5619K 1932K v0.36.2 "InkLite" 1042K 928K
...interesting! Of course, the executables are all stripped.
If anyone wants to do a bit of maintaining of InkLite, please do!
