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/2006-01/msg00006....
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?
Thanks in advance!
