Hello world,

what I actually didnt expect: I could make a inkscape aqua run on my Tiger Mac OS X 10.4 G4.

I did very little testing up to now, but I found lots of things working and two little issues:

* incscape crashes when I try to rescale the inkscape-preferences window * keyboard-shortcuts are not mapped from ctrl-something to command- something

Now: What can I do to support the whole inkscape aqua thing? - Sorry - I cannot do any coding - but will be happy to do compiling, testing and routine work. Is this list the right place to discuss that?

Some hints would be appreciated.

Greetings,

Wolf

BTW.: These are the procedures I used (quite a lot trial and error):

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

# install macports

sudo port install autoconf automake

sudo port install librsvg libwpd libwpg libcroco

sudo port install libxslt boost boehmgc gtkmm lcms intltool popt

sudo port install pango +quartz+no_x11

sudo port install gsl

sudo port install hicolor-icon-theme

sudo port install subversion

port installed # if necessary: sudo port install libxml2 libxslt

# ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # optional: sudo port install ccache export CC="ccache gcc" export CXX="ccache g++" # ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

export LIBPREFIX="/opt/local" export CPATH="$LIBPREFIX/include" export CPPFLAGS="-I$LIBPREFIX/include" export LDFLAGS="-L$LIBPREFIX/lib" export CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall" export CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"

sudo ./autogen.sh

sudo ./configure --disable-static --enable-shared --prefix=/Users/bub/ Desktop

sudo export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin cd ~/MacPorts-1.x.x/ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local-native --with-tclpackage=/Library/Tcl/ macports-native make sudo make install

cd packaging/macosx # There edit osx-build.sh to remove the configure option --enable-osxapp

# build it: ./osx-build.sh u a c b i

# test it: cd ../../Build/bin/./inkscape

...

Now: What can I do to support the whole inkscape aqua thing? - Sorry

I would suggest to first add to the wiki, how you made it. This makes it easier for other users. And as a second step, install a debugger an create stack traces if Inkscape crashes.

Sorry, I didnt explain how much dummie I am… (-; Can somebody give me a hint for installing a debugger?

Then you can then write bugreports and developers can fix this bugs.

o.k., this sounds doable…
