For this first one, I'd keep it just on inkscape-devel for now in case anything major comes up. I plan to do some fixes over the next 2-3 days and do a second build. I'll send out a message on inkscape-user, and that one should be fine for wider community testing.

Cheers, Tim

Hi all,

I've been working on getting the macOS packaging for the 0.92.x working again. The branch is here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~tghs/inkscape/0.92.x_mac_packaging

I've put a 10.7/i386 test build up for people to try at:

https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/10660/Inkscape-0.92.1pre1-tghs_0-x11-10...

Build info is on the file information page:

https://inkscape.org/en/~tghs/%E2%98%85inkscape-0921pre1-tghs_0-x11-107-i386...

As with the old official 0.91 release, this is an X11 build so you'll need XQuartz installed.

Since it's not yet merged, please report any issues encountered in this thread, or to me directly.

Known issues:

• App not signed (probably wontfix for 0.92 as users put up with it for

0.91, but worth looking at for 0.93)

• Built without poppler (need to check whether old releases included it)
• Toolbar icons getting cropped slightly on the edges (not a blocker IMO,

but would be nice to fix)

Cheers, Tim

I've downloaded the package and installed the inkscape app. Preliminary impressions:

- back to using XQuartz I guess! Oh well! :P - my computer is butt-slow, and startup is exceedingly slow compared to the homebrew version - everything looks a bit nicer in terms of the interface compared to the homebrew version - opening files works fine, saving files works fine - I also notice the icons are slightly cropped

Overall, it's back to what I'm used to with mac packaging :)

Incidentally, what's the status of making Inkscape with a native Mac GUI (i.e. no Xquartz needed, no ctrl+<> key combos, etc.)? Is it a matter of getting a mac developer on board or is there much more to it than that?

Thanks for your work! I'll mention if I notice anything but I'm not a heavy user so you probably won't hear much from me! Chris

If you know of some specific people who are a bit technical and who don't mind joining the developers mailing list, then this is a good opportunity to invite them in to test the new package and report back here.

This way we'll build more Mac testers here (because testing is development QED)

Best Regards, Martin Owens

Yup, as with 0.91 then. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong here, but IIRC this is mostly fontcache.  Subsequent launches should be a bit faster. Ideally it should be much faster. VLC seems to have worked out a fix for their fontcache delays; I can't remember the last time I hit one with it.

Hi Martin, I will keep it in mind. I was asking for all the newbies who are unable to install with Macports, if it is ready for wide use. Oh, but I might know someone who can test. I'll make sure they know.

Thanks, brynn

Sorry for having another build so soon.

https://inkscape.org/en/~tghs/%E2%98%85inkscape-0921-tghs_2-x11-107-x86_64dm...

The only difference over the previous one is that the XQuartz configuration dialog now also sets the recommended option key configuration as well as the pasteboard configuration.

Hi all,

Thanks very much for the testing and feedback everyone. Very special thanks to su_v for the extensive testing and supplying patches for most of the things that came up. I've put together a new test build from (what will be) the 0.92.1 proper release.

https://inkscape.org/en/~tghs/%E2%98%85inkscape-0921-tghs_1-x11-107-x86_64dm...

New features:

• XQuartz recommended configuration dialog on launch. Attempting to fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/307005

Bug fixes:

• x86_64 build for 10.7, rather than i386 (as per 0.91)
• Fix missing dependency for "Optimized SVG" output file format
• Theme tweaks

** Fix icon cropping ** Add back menu borders ** Fix inconsistent spin button style

• Disable Open Clipart Library in menu (broken on macOS)
• Make hyperlinks in UI work (e.g. about screen link to project homepage)
• Add missing BZR rev number in version on about screen

After the 0.92.1 release announcement goes out, I'll circulate this build on the user mailing list so that we can get some more people testing. Once 0.92.1 is out the door, we're clear to merge these changes into the 0.92.x branch, so there can be an official Mac release for 0.92.2! :-)

Cheers, Tim

Hi Atsuyoshi,

Thanks for your work. I've tried your packaging script on Mavericks (OS X 10.9). Fix in rev15362 were also needed for Mavericks. Perhaps other versions will need the same workaround.

I've not been building on anything other than 10.7 so far so I only committed that one, but I will propagate it to the others, as they will be necessary.

In my opinion, this is a good opportunity to fix bug #476678.

Thanks for flagging this up. Reproduced it on my end.

It works fine with Koich Hyodo's fix in comment .

(https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/476678/comments/5)

Confirmed. I'll commit this simple fix.

If I get time, I'll also look at su_v's other improvement (using the global "AppleLanguages" defaults value), might not have enough time to test this one properly in time for 0.92.2 though.

Cheers, Tim
