Hello mathog,

a long time ago there was only dw2 for windows.

The problem was that exception catching accross dll boundries was not possible.

The sjlj supports this.
I am not an expert but I fear to mix libraries compiled using different versions dw2/sjlj.

Probably there was a good reason ...

Regards,

Adib.

Inkscape should be compiled using SJLJ stack unwinding.

Why?  There does not seem to be a consensus that SJLJ is in general better than DW2.  See for instance:
