Hey xl cheese,

I'd recommend doing a clean checkout again from "https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk" instead (note the inkscape at the beginning). That will ensure you won't run into the issue a few of our devs recently have.

Also, since you're on Ubuntu, I'd recommend pulling up a terminal and doing "sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape" which will pull down the dependencies for you.

I will be honest that I can't offer anything good advice-wise in trying to get eclipse to work as I've never used it. Gail, do you want to chime in?

However, if you want to know the standard way to build (again in a terminal), after the initial checkout or when I make clean I do this: "svn up && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install". Then I just typically do "svn up && make && sudo make install" after that.

I also CCd the devel-list as well to get others input to perhaps help with Eclipse (and it's a good place to ask development related Qs in general)...

Hopefully the above is at least a little helpful for you...

Cheers, Josh

I want to dust of my programming skills and thought I'd play with inkscape in my spare time.

Trying to use Eclipse on a Ubuntu 7.04 system.

I did this command to copy the svn locally: (/home/wes/inkscape) svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk inkscape

Now that I have the source code how do I make it run in Eclipse?

So far I have created a new project called WesInkscape in the dir /home/wes/inkscape/src I can't seem to build it or run it.

The inkscape wiki page for eclipse doesn't help.

Thanks.
