Prerequisites for using Inkscape UI free, GSOC 2018
Hi,
I am Kuntal, some of the people might know me from IRC. I was looking into the GSOC 2018 ideas list. Loved the idea of making Inkscape go UI free [1]. I would love to give it a try, I have used CMake to compile programs in past, but never wrote a CMakeLists file. I was also working on my own build system [2], which is currently not that nicer, well I am yet to learn how to write parsers, :P.
Also whenever I used Inkscape, I used to jump to and fro from Inkscape to Calculator to get the correct ratios, wouldn't that be better if we can put expressions inside text-boxes and they evaluate by themselves. If the previous mentioned idea is viable for GSOC, I would love to pitch for it.
Thanks

there are/were other build systems called "cook":

* https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cook+build+system&ia=software
* http://cook.sourceforge.net/ - not a build system.

Well, at least, I can attach a written in Go tag with it to make it a little bit of distinct, should have done some research before naming it, :P

- That works already in the number entry fields for expressions like 12mm + 1.2cm 12*3 24/5 360/6 - 10 (5+4) * 3
(i.e. it has unit support and knows about +-*/ and parentheses)
Or did you mean you want that functionality for text objects?
