User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/inkscape
Ensure that the libraries from ImageMagick-6.9.10-27 libraries can be used:
patch -Np1 -i ../inkscape-0.92.4-use_versioned_ImageMagick6-1.patch
If you wish to run the testsuite, download the required versions of googletest and googlemock by running:
bash download-gtest.sh
Install Inkscape by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
.. &&
make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install && rm -v /usr/lib/inkscape/lib*_LIB.a
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor hierarchy and desktop
files into the /usr/share/applications hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.32 or
GTK+-3.24.5 installed (for the icon cache) and
desktop-file-utils-0.23 (for the
desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the
root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache && update-desktop-database
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release:
This switch is used to build the release library without any debug
`assert` in the code.
rm -v
/usr/lib/inkscape/lib*_LIB.a: The conversion of the
package to use cmake
has led to these libraries getting installed, but they are not
usable (there are no header files to let a program know what they
contain). So remove them.
-DWITH_DBUS=ON: use this if you wish to
use inkscape in
interactive scripts which manipulate images.
