Maybe a completely offbase question.
What is your screen colour depth? My notebook recently got changed to 16 bit colour and (a previously working) inkscape started acting exactly as you described. After switching back to true colour it worked again.

Hello, Unfortunately, there is some problem with the build file or something wrong with the inkscape.exe. I have tried compiling on another machine on Windows 7 x64 only to face the same problem.
The problem is: the build process completes successfully without errors but the inkscape.exe runs for a few seconds (seen in the task manager) and then quits. No windows opening, no send error report messages. Just a 'inkscape.exe' process in the task manager.
Compiled by following the below page word to word:http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows
Compiler: TDM-GCC 4.7.1 Mingw32 bit edition and not the experimental 32 cum 64 bit one.
I am new to development and can't seem to debug the .exe properly using gdb.exe. Please, can someone look into this.
