Which "zip"? The source code is normally in a compressed tarball.

I got the code from the gitlab site. It gives the option to download as a zip (& tarball, etc)

Did you do "cmake -D…" followed by "make" and "make install"? See inkscape* at
https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/tree/master/shlomif-settings/build-scripts/build .

I'm hoping to run (& debug) from the build tree. I would prefer to keep each dev environment contained in one place as much as possible. I suppose I can make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX point back into the build tree -- that might work.

Thanks, Beth
