Hi all
I'm trying to compile inkscape-039pre4 in macosx and I'm running into this problem:
No package 'gtkmm-2.0' found
Dunno if someone answered you already, but in case not...
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libxml-2.0
= 2-2.4.24 sigc++-1.2 gtkmm-2.0 ) not met; consider adjusting the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
I know I have gtkmm1.2 installed and than I need then to install 2.0, but the question is: inkscape 0.38 did NOT require neither gtkmm1.2 nor 2.0. I thought this would be necessary from 0.40 and onward, not before. When was this changed, or what did I miss?
The dependency was added first, so people could start work on doing gtkmm conversions to get some practice; a little gtkmm work has been done. Adding this dependency was one of the early changes in the 0.39 development cycle.
Also, which gtkmm should I install: 2.0-2.2, or 2.4 ?
Probably 2.0-2.2, but you should plan on upgrading for 0.40 as I believe we plan to switch to the 2.4 version then. IIRC there are some API incompatibilities between 2.2 and 2.4.
Does anyone know if any of this 2 libs have any problems in macosx ?
If you find out, please update the CompilingInkscape page with this info.
