Hi List,
I'm just starting up with the project and want to run under XP. I have been advised that VC++, which I would have preferred, is too difficult to get going.
So I started with the 'Compiling Inkscape for the Win32 Platform' document and cannot unpack a downloaded copy of gtk26 with 7-zip. I get the error 'this is not a supported archive' with both gtk copies on the website using either of the 2 available versions of 7-zip.
Downloading with IE produces different size files from using Firefox so I'm guessing it's a download problem.
Can anyone point me to an alternative source of the gtk26 library, perhaps in a normal zip format? TIA Douglas Neale
Heh. I have had that problem, too, and I am the culprit who -uploaded- it! ;-) I suggest using wget. It will fiercely download the requested thing until it is completely and correctly assembled on your machine. Here:

The file -is- valid. It is just difficult to download.
