My question is, does Inkscape 46 download painlessly to Win XP or is it one of those kludges where you have to download this to compile that to support something else? I am looking for the easiest path to a fully functioning IS 46.
Inkscape on win32 (for many releases now) has been a single downloadable zip or installer package with everything you need to run. There are also packages built from SVN trunk on a daily (or nearly daily) basis. I usually have both installed so that I can work in the stable build and test all the new fancy features too.
My main partition is of course Slackware 12 but you really don't want to know what I have been through already trying to install IS 46.
Are you still just having difficulties tracking down dependencies? I don't know how the Slackware infrastructures is set up, are there people to whom we can communicate the these packaging problems? Is there a Slackware VM image somewhere that we could test to help you?
