Hello all, Just curious about whether anyone recently setup inkscape on Windows 7 ? I am following the instructions on the wiki, to no avail. Build tool successfully builds the application but the inkscape.exe invokes nothing on being run.
I normally build on XP, not Windows 7. However, could you provide some details: version of devlibs, version of tdm-gcc, could you attach the output of the btool run?

Just curious about whether anyone recently setup Inkscape on Windows 7 ?Yes you can build, run and debug Inkscape under Windows 7.
These instructions should help you get an exe built - http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Win32Port
Assuming the directory containing your "src" folder is C:\devel\inkscape, then btool should produce an exe called C:\devel\inkscape\inkscape\inkscape.exe It should be about 14Mb in size and you should be able to launch Inkscape by doubling clicking that. If Inkscape doesn’t appear to launch - check the task manager to see if the process is running or not.
Eclipse (with gdb) works well for debugging, but you will often hit "breakpoints" causes by SIGTRAP's under Windows 7 - that you don’t see on XP. You can simply step over these and continue debugging. These seem to be caused by some internal memory leaks (seem related to the Inkscape GC) - explanation here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1621059/breakpoints-out-of-nowhere-when-d...
