Building 0.92 with cmake following instructions in README fails on LM18

3 Nov 2016


      Hi everyone,
I've been trying to build 0.92 (first the pre2 package from the website,
now the version directly from the repo
(~inkscape.dev-inkscape-0.92.x-r15145.tgz).
I've followed the instructions for cmake in the README file
(
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  make
  make install)
and the result was (translated from German):
[ 79%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/version.cpp.o
make[2]: *** no rule to create target „src/inkscape-version.cpp“,
  needed by „src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/inkscape-version.cpp.o“.  End.
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:597: the rule for target
„src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/all“ failed
make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/all] Fehler 2
Makefile:127: the rule for target „all“ failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
Same result both on an upgraded Linux Mint and on a fresh LM18 install
in a VM.
Are the instructions misleading, is something missing/broken on my
system, or is something wrong with the 'settings' for cmake? Or
something else?
It works with the autotools option, but (at least for 0.92pre), the
compiled version contains a lot of stuff (LPEs, mesh - think that was
removed recently) that I thought wouldn't be in 0.92 yet.
(I'm on Linux Mint 18, Ubuntu 16.04 base)
Can anyone help?
Regards,
 Maren
