Hello all,
I want to get LivePathEffects (LPE) into trunk soon. The benefit of having my own branch (i.e. few people build it, so highly unstable code is no prob ;-) ; thanks for testing guys!!!) is starting to become a drawback (i.e. I'd like people to use it and report bugs/problems/RFE's)
There is a problem though: Dependencies. LPE needs lib2geom (this is a *good* thing!), which needs Boost.
1. I don't think Boost is going to be a big problem. Well... it is big, but 2geom does not use that many headers; i have to check but only a small part of boost is necessary i think. 2. lib2geom does not have an official release and LPE uses the latest SVN version. Development is very active, often providing new features InkscapeLPE wants. This basically means that to build LPE, one first must svn up 2geom and make install it.
A. What are your thoughts on the dependency issues?
B. Now I think of it, I think the file-format extension introduced by LPE must be agreed upon as well. It is SVG compatible and not very intrusive but still...
Kind regards, Johan
