More important, if GSL becomes hard dependency, it becomes a hard dependency for Inkscape as well.

It should be part of your distribution. It is in ubuntu, for example.

Hi all,
Recent commits made GSL a hard dependency, is that desired?
And more important: where do i get it? inkscape.modevia.com has an old gsl package, is that good enough?
Regards, Johan
I used GSL for finding the roots of a 4th degree polinomial in the nearest point routine for elliptical arc and I'll need of the GSL library again to solve a 5x5 linear system for the elliptical arc fitting problem. So I'd like that GSL becames a hard dependency, but obviously I'm open to alternative solutions. Implementing these tools by myself could be a solution but it wouldn't be a little effort. So if there are real points against making GSL a hard dependency I'd whish to know them as soon as possible.
You can download Windows binaries and developer files from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gsl.htm and this is the gnu home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/
