How to build lp:inkscape with CMake?
When browsing the wiki for build instructions under Ubuntu, I only found instructions on how to build using autogen.sh.
I would prefer building Inkscape with the "new" build system CMake, could some one tell me what steps to follow / the diff from these instructions? (preferably update the wiki page)
Specifically: do I need to run autogen.sh and configure?

Currently , I was able to build Inkscape using CMake by using this script:
https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/src/065cc7f39e487ee3...
You need to do "mkdir ../B; cd ../B" first.
You don't have to still run autogen.sh and configure.

Thank you will try this out. Any particular reason this script isn't on the wiki? Linked or copy-pasted.
One more question: Is cmake the official build tool 0.91 onwards?
You don't have to still run autogen.sh and configure.
Thank you.

Well, you can often get away with less options, or use different customisations to the cmake command. There should be other documents on the Web for generic build instructions of CMake-based projects.
One more question: Is cmake the official build tool 0.91 onwards?
Well, for 0.91, I think autoconf is still recommended, but there was some talk on making CMake the preferred one in the future. Don't know what the consensus was.
You don't have to still run autogen.sh and configure.
Thank you.
You're welcome.

Hi Olof, Shlomi,
autotools builds are the official recommendation for 0.91. CMake still needs some work, and doesn't fully support all options.
I think the consensus at present is that supporting two build systems is unsustainable and we intend to do the following:
1. Fix CMake builds for the next release, make this the official build system and deprecate the autotools builds. 2. Remove the autotools builds in the following release 3. Potentially move to the Waf build system in the following release
Any feedback on your experience with CMake would be greatly appreciated!

OK, thanks for that Alex. I guess it could be documented on the wiki, e.g. on the CompilingInkscape page, possibly with links to the paragraph from all it's subpages (I followed the Ubuntu build page).
Any feedback on your experience with CMake would be greatly appreci
ated!
Sure. But I'm still in the process to actually build Inkscape via CMake, Shlomi has helped me out some with his separate script. ATM I'm stuck on a JPEG-related error.
If there existed instructions on how to do the build with CMake on the wiki it would help a lot. I did manage to build Inkscape with autogen.sh & configure last weekend, by reading CompilingInkscape plus the Ubuntu specific page.

For me CMake works nicely, at least for a general build. I didn't add inkview (i never used that myself) nor did i try to add switches for GTK3 and all the other options, but plain standard install just works. I build it like this:
mkdir build cd build CFLAGS="-O3 -g" CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS} cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/inkscape/ .. make -j install

Thank you Tobias - but you missed the "../inscape" argument at the end of the cmake command line, right?
Even after fixing that typo, I get the same error as when I got help from Shumis' build script:

No, he had a ".." instead . The last argument to cmake should be the path to the sources (with the top-level CMakeLists.txt file/etc.)

Yep, it's also a good indicator that Inkscape has clear potential at lowering the bar for new contributors, developers in particular: just update the wiki.
I'm sure keeping the wiki up-to-date is not your main focus, but it should be for anyone interested in increasing the collaborative dev effort of this great piece of open source software.
Thanks for you patience Shlomi (or should I call you Rindolf?). For the time being, I've taken a step back and am using autogen.sh + configure, as I've gotten that to work previously.

Hi Olof,
sorry about chiming in into a discussion that is not exactly my area of expertise.
Would you mind making a list of things you had to do for building Inkscape, or even editing the corresponding Wiki page to give a good path for others to follow?
If the 'pull from trunk ppa, then apt-get build-dep' works well, that's probably by far the quickest and easiest way for Ubuntu - it's the one listed on the website, too :), but it won't work on non-Ubuntu (non-deb?) based systems, AFAIK... - are there current, working instructions for those anywhere?
I'd be happy to give you edit permissions or - if you don't want to edit yourself - to update the page with the info you can give at the end of your endeavour :)
(if anyone would like to do the same for Windows / OSX, and check if the rest of the instructions for Linux here: https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/ are still correct, that would be awesome!)
Thank you, regards, Maren
Mvh

You need to install the libjpeg's development package. What is your operating system, distribution, their versions, etc.?
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.
I installed all packages mentioned on this page:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingUbuntu#Installing_dependenc...
I also had to add "bzr" and "ccache", which is strictly required to
build
the trunk version of Inkscape.
Of course I also added "cmake" which was the whole point of trying out cmake instead of autogen+configure :).
I also tried installing all the additional packages mentioned on that
wiki
page too, but it did not help.
I do understand that I need the JPEG dev package, but if it JPEG lib
is a
strict requirement to build Inkscape, it should be listed on the wiki.
Well, it's the nature of documentation that it goes out-of-date, but you are right - it should be updated.
Yep, it's also a good indicator that Inkscape has clear potential at lowering the bar for new contributors, developers in particular: just update the wiki.
I'm sure keeping the wiki up-to-date is not your main focus, but it should be for anyone interested in increasing the collaborative dev effort of this great piece of open source software.
Thanks for you patience Shlomi (or should I call you Rindolf?). For the time being, I've taken a step back and am using autogen.sh + configure, as I've gotten that to work previously.

Yes, I can summarise to you maren when done. I'd be happy to update the wiki for Ubuntu build instructions too, however other o/s:s or even linux distributions is outside of my attempts.

Hi Olof,
sorry about chiming in into a discussion that is not exactly my area of expertise.
Would you mind making a list of things you had to do for building Inkscape, or even editing the corresponding Wiki page to give a good path for others to follow?
If the 'pull from trunk ppa, then apt-get build-dep' works well, that's probably by far the quickest and easiest way for Ubuntu - it's the one listed on the website, too :), but it won't work on non-Ubuntu (non-deb?) based systems, AFAIK... - are there current, working instructions for those anywhere?
I'd be happy to give you edit permissions or - if you don't want to edit yourself - to update the page with the info you can give at the end of your endeavour :)
(if anyone would like to do the same for Windows / OSX, and check if the rest of the instructions for Linux here: https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/ are still correct, that would be awesome!)
Thank you, regards, Maren
Mvh

Or it could be "fixed" in Inkscape's Cmake config files - after all (or at least AFAIU) the JPEG dependency is not strictly required (it is used to detect the image resolution of imported JPEG images, but Inkscape's basic features will still work even if compiled without it).
JPEG is currently "optional" with autotools: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/view/head:/configu...
Please keep in mind that Cmake in trunk is not yet on par with the autotools build system - this is ongoing work, and patches are welcome (feel free to file bug reports about trunk build failures with Cmake, or for requests to migrate missing configure options from the autotools build system).

Should be fixed for cmake builds in r14341 - JPEG is optional now; if detected, it is actually used (wasn't before).

On Debian and derivates you can also use apt-get build-dep inkscape to get most required packages.

ccache is not required, it just speeds up compilations in the future.

I had thought about giving that recommendation too, however, with Olof being on Ubuntu 14.04 it would only pull down the dependencies for Inkscape 0.48 (since that is what is in the repo for that release). There are a handful of differences in dependencies between 0.48 and trunk.
Cheers, Josh
Another option would be to get the Inkscape trunk PPA and then:
apt-get build-dep inkscape-trunk
This will pull in the latest build dependencies for an autotools build.

Hi All,
Waf is a possible future step... Not a definite move yet. However, at least one of the Inkscape developers has been very impressed by it. Advantages include the fact that it's a python-based tool, so potentially a gentler learning curve than the slightly arcane CMake syntax. Also, it properly supports wildcards, so may be easier to set up and maintain the build. In the meantime, we first need to choose between autotools and CMake so that we can avoid having three build systems in place at once!
In terms of "wasted effort", we already have a mostly ready CMake build, so fixing it shouldn't be too painful, I hope. I haven't done a thorough check yet for missing CMake switches/checks, but this will need to be done as part of any transition, along with documentation.
If there are any patches still outstanding, I'll happily sponsor them.

Any feedback on your experience with CMake would be greatly appreciated!
For me CMake works nicely, at least for a general build. I didn't add inkview (i never used that myself) nor did i try to add switches for GTK3 and all the other options, but plain standard install just works. I build it like this:
mkdir build cd build CFLAGS="-O3 -g" CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS} cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/inkscape/ .. make -j install
Thank you Tobias - but you missed the "../inscape" argument at the end of the cmake command line, right?
Even after fixing that typo, I get the same error as when I got help from Shumis' build script:

Well, I had a mostly positive experience in building various open-source projects using CMake and with using it for my own open-source projects. With Inkscape, I often had to fix parts of the CMake-based build system myself, and submitted patches for it.

I'm not sure if anyone has done a thorough analysis of the old autotools-based system's options. Some months back I generated dists with both systems and compared the file lists. There was still a large discrepancy, including man pages, templates, and a handful of source files.
cxxtest wasn't hooked up in cmake yet, so possibly that still needs looked at. cmake correctly installs all the docs, but some of that stuff is more developer oriented (e.g. doc/NewAppArchitecture) so maybe should be split out separately or something. cmake also installed some files that automake currently ignores, that maybe it should be excluding.
There are also a variety of things in share/extensions which automake didn't install, but I wondered if maybe it should.
Anyway, the steps for testing this are basically to do configures with each build system, run 'make dist', tar -t the generated dist to get file listings, and then sort and diff the lists. Ideally the only differences should be cmake-specific build bits on the one side, and automake-specific junk on the other. Whatever remains needs to be thought out.

Actually, we debated this at the hackfest. It's not totally clear to everyone which of these two is technically better, but cmake is definitely more widely known. We decided to go with cmake since it's already 90% working, and only switch to waf if we ran into some unsolvable problem with cmake.
Any feedback on your experience with CMake would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, same here. I think it's mainly teething pains since a lot of people haven't switched over to using it yet. So like Alex said, plan is to fix up everything we know of, get it released into the wild, and then remove automake and focus on making the cmake build solid.
Then if enough people want to give waf a stronger shot, we can start experiments with that.
