Greetings!

My name is Syed Shaharyaar Hussain. I was trying to build Inkscape on Windows using msys so that I can start my work on Project Refactoring. I followed the instructions provided on Compiling Inkscape on Windows with MSYS2. However, during build process I am encountering an error. I have attached the snapshot of my terminal as it will bring more clarity for understanding the nature of problem. Error is “C Compiler is not able to compile a simple test program”. Can you please shed light over what’s going wrong in the build process?

Regards

Hi,

this seems strange...

Have you properly updated your MSYS2 environment using "pacman -Syuu" as described in the Wiki? Make sure to run this command multiple times until no updates are found anymore (then run "msy2installdeps.sh" again to downgrade to a compatible version of imagemagick)!

Cheers
