Hi all,
I'm trying to get inkscape to run on the mac. I downloaded a zip of the code (recently) & installed a handful of packages using ports. There was one dependency that I couldn't get to resolve using any ports package, which is libsoup. I installed it using brew & then the code will compile.
It will run, but not correctly. I put in a symlink from /usr/share/inkscape to my build tree share directory & it does load the items on the right & left sides, but without any of the images that tell what they are. I would rather not have a symlink in /usr/share, but instead just have the build read from the build tree.
Are there any people developing on mac out there that can share their configuration & settings & tell me what parameters need to be set & where?
Thanks, Beth

Which "zip"? The source code is normally in a compressed tarball.

Did you do "cmake -D…" followed by "make" and "make install"? See inkscape* at https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/tree/master/shlomif-set... .

I got the code from the gitlab site. It gives the option to download as a zip (& tarball, etc)

I'm hoping to run (& debug) from the build tree. I would prefer to keep each dev environment contained in one place as much as possible. I suppose I can make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX point back into the build tree -- that might work.
Thanks, Beth

That should work, it's actually what I recommend, and what we do in the CI[1] (what's also possible is to declare the source tree as the install dir to not be forced to do "make install"[2])
Hi Beth!
thanks for replying to the list.

Well using git ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git ) for that will be preferable.

I'd recommend against that to avoid clutter and confusion and in order to not confuse "git diff" and "git status". You can always set up a parent directory with src/ build/ and app/ sub-dirs.
Thanks, Beth
