Hi, thanks for the feedback. I have been able to locate the index.theme file, it is located at:
C:\InkscapeBZR92x\build>dir/s index.theme Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 68EA-76E1
Directory of C:\InkscapeBZR92x\build\inkscape\share\icons\hicolor
12/21/2016 10:11 PM 40 index.theme
unfortunately, that is not where the inkscape executable is located. The executable is at:
Directory of C:\InkscapeBZR92x\build\output\InkscapeBZR92x\build\inkscape
12/21/2016 11:02 PM 1,568,913 inkscape.exe
so it is unlikely that the executable will find the required hicolor directory. Attached is a directory listing of the hicolor directory that inkscape is using
Directory of C:\InkscapeBZR92x\build\output\InkscapeBZR92x\build\inkscape\share\icons\hicolor
12/21/2016 11:17 PM <DIR> . 12/21/2016 11:17 PM <DIR> .. 12/21/2016 11:17 PM <DIR> 16x16 12/21/2016 11:17 PM <DIR> 22x22 12/21/2016 11:17 PM <DIR> 24x24 12/21/2016 11:17 PM <DIR> 256x256 12/21/2016 11:17 PM <DIR> 32x32 12/21/2016 11:17 PM <DIR> 48x48
It does not contain the index.theme file. Obviously I have located the inkscape build output into the wrong directory, but it is not entirely clear what the right location would be.
Would it be possible, on the website http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows to indicate two things: 1. where is the build directory supposed to be relative to the src? 2. where is the output directory supposed to be relative to the src? 3. or perhaps a typical directory tree would be helpful on the website, showing the relative locations of the various directories? 4. or perhaps an explicit example showing the exact format of the mingw32-make command, including the source directory from which it was executed, similar to what the btool documentation shows?

wrt the gdb.exe file, I guess it doesn't matter for the 0.92.x branch, as long as a typical trunk build will include it, as well as the inkscape.dbg file.
thanks for your patience, Alvin
