Hello everybody, I submitted a merge request of my Inkscape branch yesterday. Thanks to Marc it has already found its way into trunk - big thank you for the quick review. The branch I submitted now has full support for compiling Inkscape on Windows with 32-Bit and 64-Bit environments. It also supports out of source builds and should also work with Unix llike command lines such as Cygwin and MSYS. After weeks of investigation I managed to get locales to work and have an executable icon along with all application icons.

Actually, the only thing that it distinguishes from a btool build now is that it does not (yet) produce the inkscape.com console binary. However, that should not be a big deal. In all other regards it should be ready for testing and packaging. I already updated the Wiki page with the new compilation instructions.

Again, thank you Marc and hopefully we're a step closer now to a 0.92 release on all platforms.

Yes, Eduard. Sebastian fixed most of the issues. I worked with him on making sure that I was able to compile trunk for Windows. Of course, as you know, I can only speak for 64-bit. I can supply the devlibs when the time comes if people still want it.

Sebastian can answer this better than I. However, he was working hard on his own branch which has since been merged with the main trunk. So, the trunk should be the final version.

I don't recall if I sent you the GTK3 updates. However, if you are not able to build with the current devlibs, my guess is that they need to be updated.

As you probably recall I pushed your last update of the development libraries to inkscape-devlibs64 in January, so they're still pretty fresh (but obviously updates would be welcome, too).

Hello everybody, the CMake configuration currently in trunk is only tested with GTK2. However, I was able to successfully build and run it with GTK3 - given that the devlibs are in the command line path. I have already begun adjusting the CMake files to support GTK3 as well (taken the file list from the btool XML config). But I failed to find the missing dll reference that causes the segmentation fault on application startup (at least I suppose it is a missing dll). I did not have very much time for this lately, though. I should probably push my current config into a new branch so that we can combine our efforts in making the GTK3 build stable. My experience with the GTK3 version so far is that it worked reasonably well, except that it does not support the native Windows theme yet which makes it's controls appear extremely 'large'.

When compiling the 32 bit version of lp:inkscape/0.92.x (rev 15067, devlibs rev 63) under Windows 7 64 bit with cmake, I get 'mingw32-make install' stopping because it cannot find devlibs/python/python26.dll and, in fact, in the devlibs directory there is python27.dll since commit 62 (13/05/2016). I still haven't learned the cmake mechanics so I don't have the foggiest idea on where to look to correct this. Thanks.
