Install help: sigc++-1.2
by Daniel Carrera 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

Greetings, I've been hearing of this fantastic software called Inkscape and I decided to give it a try. I am trying to install Inkscape on Solaris 2.8 (SPARC). I was hoping that someone here might offer me some assistance. It looks like Inkscape depends on sigc++-1.2. I have been googling for two hours and I trully cannot find this library. Could someone please give me a link to the sources for sigc++-1.2? I would really appreciate that. Thanks a lot. Cheers, -- Daniel Carrera | No trees were harmed in the generation of this e-mail.

Everyone, Thanks for the help and responses! I managed to install it properly with Fink Commander rather than going the other route...it's working fine, and I'm already using it for graphic design work.. Thanks to all the responses, I can't wait to use Inkscape w/ Gimp and produce quality work w/ this open-source software.. Tim timjaeger@...85...

0.38 Release Packages Available
by Bryce Harrington 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi all, We now have the basic set of packages we want (rpm, deb, exe) available for download. Could you download and try out the installation on your system? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 A problem was found in the 0.38.0 release (some last minute code additions introduced a bad bug), so we've cut a new release 0.38.1. We'd like to ask help from everyone to download and try out installing the packages this weekend, to see if they install correctly. If they don't, any investigation you can do into how to work around the issues will be greatly appreciated. We're hoping to put out the announcement by Monday morning, if things go well. Bryce

PKG_CONFIG_PATH newbie question
by Timothy Jaeger 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi, I made it through some rough installing but need to know how to edit the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to detect fontconfig and xft. A previous post says: >1) untar the inkscape-0.37 so that you have the [inkscape-0.37] folder. >2) change to that folder and issue PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH >(assuming that your libsigc++-1.2.pc is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig folder) >3) after that, issue ./configure and so on. I tried issuing the previous commands, but they weren't found by UNIX. Any suggestions? Am i doing this correctly? I'm running mac os x. -Tim timjaeger@...85...

Mac OS X install problems
by Timothy Jaeger 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

Hi, I'm new to the list, and have been trying to install Inkscape on mac os x.3 running fink, gnome, and Xtools for 2 days now (unsuccesfully) using both the 'top-down' (fink install -y inkscape) and 'bottom-up' (dl the .gz file and attempting to compile it that way) approach. The error I get from using fink is: fink install -y inkscape /usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink install -y inkscape Password: Information about 1501 packages read in 2 seconds. Failed: no package found for specification '-y'! And when compiling from the source (doing a './configure' command) it stops at this error message: configure: error: You have to install pkg-config to compile inkscape. Not quite sure how to proceed, any comments/suggestions would be helpful, Tim timjaeger@...85...

rest of the icons
by Jonathan Phillips 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

Thanks to Kees and Bulia (and micelf) and others, we have almost put in place all current menu icons. We need however 3 more. After these are completed, then we can move on to replacing XPM icons in the interface. The following need to be created: File ==== * Open Recent Edit ==== * Paste in Place * Paste Style The menu items that do not need icons because they are getting replaced: Dialogs ======= * Item Properties * Tool Options -- Jon Phillips Graduate Researcher Visual Arts Department PO BOX 948667 LA JOLLA, CA 92037 USA cell.858.361.2811 jon@...87... http://www.rejon.org

Hello all, Well, the wiki for the new open clipart project has been activated. Please spend some time looking over the content, and adding your own. Instructions for getting account access for the wiki are at the URL below. Anyone interested in the project should head on over to the site and get added to the mailing list. http://freedesktop.org/Software/clipart or http://clipart.freedesktop.org/ This project is at an early stage, but the Open Office.org (OO.o) development community and various SVG editor camps are merging together (basically) to create this project. OO.o has 20-30 million users! If you are into this type of project and/or want to get in on the ground floor and help shape the future, then you should jump in now...

Pre-announce: Release 0.38
by Bryce Harrington 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Hi guys, We've not formally announced it yet, but if you'd like an early look, the Inkscape 0.38 release is official. All we're waiting on before the formal announce is to create the RPM's, EXE's, etc. If you're comfortable installing from source, the official tarball is now available for download. If not, keep your eyes on the download page for newly minted packages, and help us test 'em out. Also, we're welcoming new screenshots for this release, so if you've got something cool to show off using some of the new features, post a screenshot and we'll get it up on the site!

Subject: [Inkscape-devel] Release 0.38 Tonight the 0.38 release was made and CVS tagged. Congratulations everyone, this release embodies a great wealth of contributions from an impressive number of people, providing users with a significant advance over the previous release. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes038 The 0.38 tarball is available on the SourceForge download page. Packagers may now use this to generate packages. Either post the files on SourceForge, or simply announce them here and ask an admin to post them. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 As before, we are allocating a few days for packaging before we make the official announcements, so that when the announce goes out, we have sufficient breadth of packages for interested users. With tonight's release, the feature freeze is finished, and so developers are encouraged to merge branches, apply patches, and set forth on new development as desired. Enjoy!

bugs??
by Richards Mail 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Hi, Wanted to thank Bryce for turning me onto the Ishmal's index of updated functioning Inkscape progs. I have a few questions and maybe a bug report.. I tried to save the SVG's as either Inkscape or regular SVG's and regardless of which I click on all Mozilla does is load up endless browser windows with nothing to show. I think when I finally killed Mozilla I had about 50 instances of it and it was going to continue. Irfanview can't open them up either "unknown file format" is all it tells me. Draw12 opens it but it's flawed and RealDraw-Pro 3 opens it up but all color and fill effects and alpha is all gone. Just a bunch of gray squares! So is the save SVG not quite there yet or is there some thing that I'm not doing right?? Any way to Align objects, like center them?? Besides building in alpha are there plans to create transparency effects seperate from the color fills?? Many thanks!! Keep on cookin'!! Richard ;-)~ Peace and prayers http://www.ramwolffsworld.com/RAMWolffsWorld

roadmap 0.39
by Jonathan Phillips 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Also, I think we should look at in this next release cycle the big picture of upcoming releases, evaluate other similar apps and think about what is necessary in our app (which is picking up serious steam). I will try and spend an afternoon evaluating and moving ideas from the feature proposals and scratchpad to RFEs... Thoughts?

The last big patch (thanks Adib!) is in, and we're in deep freeze intending to release in the coming days. Please everyone try to do as much testing, tweaking, abusing Inkscape as possible.

Pattern fill + arrows
by Peter Polinak 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

Hi! I use Inkscape 0.38cvs, and I cannot find any pattern fill features, however on the homepage I could find some screenshots of the 0.37 version (6th, 7th and 9th pictures from above), on which one can clearly see that in the Fill and Stroke dialog, there are two extra options beside "No Paint", "Paint", "Linear Gradient" , and "Radial Gradient" . I guess these are some kind of Pattern Fill features. Where do they come from, and why do I not have them?? The question is the similar regarding the 4th picture from above in the 0.37 screenshots : There is a "Stroke Style" dialog, clearly with arrows! I don't have such a feature in my version! >From where do these features come from, why do I not have, and how could I have them? Thanks for your answer! Regards, Peter Polinak user

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Re: Stippling with Inkscape
by Jonathan Phillips 31 Mar '04

I created tipsandtricks.svg which is located at share/tutorials/tipsandtricks.svg for anyone that wants to add their tips and tricks. I copied the ones from http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TricksAndTips. Please look over what I added up there and fix grammar, etc Also, I added content onto the elements tutorial. There still needs to be a final composition image for that tutorial Also, I added the path icons to the menu. Please look them over, and critique and change. They look pretty good at regular size, but there are complaints that it is too hard to see what operation is happening. I creatd them more as a general template of what should be there for those icons. If you have better ideas, please implement. I've filled in the spaces. What do you all think about the Green that Bulia chose anyway? I think I like it as the secondary color for operations and then the primary buttons are more decorative. That should prolly be written down somewhere. I'm going to be offline for the rest of the week more than likely--I have to get going on my MFA final stuff (done at UCSD in JUNE). Happy trails...

Vector Aesthetics Presentation
by Jonathan Phillips 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hello All, I'm giving another presentation that kinda involves Inkscape at UC Berkeley on April 04, 2004. Please see http://art.berkeley.edu/040404/ if you are interested in attending. It should be very interesting. The event is free I believe and has food and whatnot. I will post info on the talk to the WIKI shortly. It is an overview of a framework I'm calling Vector Aesthetics. I will only discuss post-Bezier art/design/etc at the talk, but will end with Inkscape short-note. Anyone seeking help, or wants to have a little mini-meeting in the area, then please stop into that talk.

Inkscape and frontline
by Artemio 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hello! At inkscape.org I read: "...If you want to have tracing option, yo have to install both Autotrace and Frontline before compiling Inkscape. Inkscape automatically detects these programs, and adds inline raster to vector conversion option to image menu." I have just compiled and installed autotrace and frontline, they both work fine. I have compiled today's CVS snapshot of inkscape (it is DAMN cool, by the way, you guys ROCK!!!), but I can't see any "inline raster to vector conversion option to image menu". Please tell me what to do :-( Thanks and good luck! Artemio. -- http://artemio.net/exp ::: Artemio's hot sound tweaks [local time 20:07:57 (GMT +3) 28 March 2004] [system uptime 47 min]
