It is useful for creating, viewing and changing SVG images. &lfs84_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &inkscape-md5sum; Download size: &inkscape-size; Estimated disk space required: &inkscape-buildsize; Estimated build time: &inkscape-time; Additional Downloads Required patch: Inkscape Dependencies Required , , , (or and gnome docking library for the experimental gtk+-3 build), , , and (to download the test dependencies) Recommended , or , (for the bucket-fill tool), and (both at runtime, for Save As Optimized SVG). Optional , (to run inkscape from scripts), , libcdr, libvisio, libwpg (or libwpd) and NumPy (at runtime for some extensions) Optional Runtime Dependencies (for some of the Inkscape extensions) XML::XQL User Notes: Installation of Inkscape Ensure that the libraries from can be used: patch -Np1 -i ../inkscape-&inkscape-version;-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 Command Explanations -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. : use this if you wish to use inkscape in interactive scripts which manipulate images.
