I compile two ways in Ubuntu (8.10). This is after I do a &quot;sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape&quot;<br>then install &quot;libgsl*-dev&quot; package to get all of the dependencies.<br><br>A. Compiling without making a deb package and without installing over the stable version (Ted Gould&#39;s method):<br>
<br>1. download latest from: <a href="http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/?M=D">http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/?M=D</a><br>2. extract archive<br>3. cd inkscape-xxxxx<br>4. ./autogen.sh<br>5. mkdir build<br>6. cd build<br>
7. ../configure --prefix=`pwd`/../install<br>8. make install<br>9. run executable in /install/bin/inkscape<br><br><br>B. Compiling and making a deb package without installing the deb package automatically. Be careful, this will overwrite the stable version if installed.<br>
<br>1. download latest from: <a href="http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/?M=D">http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/?M=D</a><br>2. dh_make -r -s -p inkscape-svn<br>3. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot<br>4. look for inkscape_XXXXXX-1_i386.deb to be in /home/user/ dir<br>
<br>I&#39;m sure these instructions could be cleaned up a bit but they work for me.<br><br>heathenx<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 5:41 PM, Kalman KHIRALY <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:khiraly123@...240...">khiraly123@...233.....240...</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Im trying to build a .deb package to test out the greatest and newest<br>
feature of inkscape.<br>
I have read this documentation:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingDebian" target="_blank">http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingDebian</a><br>
<br>
I have downloaded the daily snapshot:<br>
<a href="http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/inkscape-current.tar.bz2" target="_blank">http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/inkscape-current.tar.bz2</a><br>
<br>
I followed the steps without success. I suspect, the documentation is outdated.<br>
There is no debian/ directory in the inkscape source. The inkscape does not use<br>
autoconfig but cmake if I see it correctly.<br>
So creating the debian/ directory using the dh_make command, and building the<br>
package fails. (make[1]: *** No rule to make target `clean&#39;. &nbsp;Stop.)<br>
<br>
So can somebody direct me to an updated documentation?<br>
How can I create a proper debian/ directory, and building the package with<br>
help of this directory? Using this command:<br>
&nbsp;dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot<br>
<br>
In summary a step-by-step tutorial would be really helpful!<br>
Im using ubuntu 8.10 currently.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance,<br>
