Hello,
I encounter serious problems running inkscape with larger files, or using inkscape to build OpenStreetMap binaries.
When the files become to large, I get the error message "Too many heap sections" and inkscape exits. There is a way to fix this, I found this: http://osdir.com/ml/programming.garbage-collection.boehmgc/200
6-01/msg00006.html
And there is already a bug against inkscape: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168914
Now I wanted to compile my own binary on windows, using the instructions in the Wiki. But the (usually helpful) devlibs already contain libgc.a, and I found no docs how to create this file :( I wanted to create libgc with the LARGE_CONFIG parameter in the makefile, and then build inkscape with this new libgc to check if the problem is gone ...
Can anyone help me to do this, or point me to the appropriate docs?
Bob (ishmal) has been building the devlibs for us for as long as I know. So I guess he would be the first to ask.
I think we should come up with a different solution for our devlibs (there is another devlibs rebuild pending to fix a bug), so Bob doesn't have to do all the work. I don't mind helping in building the libs.
Cheers, Johan
