Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Required Dependencies
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The Inkscape core depends on several other libraries that you will need
|
|
install, if they are not already present on your system. The most
|
|
typical libraries you may need to install are:
|
|
[Boehm-GC](http://www.hboehm.info/gc/),
|
|
[libsigc++](https://github.com/libsigcplusplus/libsigcplusplus),
|
|
[gtkmm](https://www.gtkmm.org/).
|
|
|
|
Make sure you got the submodules code when fetching the code
|
|
(either by using `--recurse-submodules` on the git clone command, as recommended on the [Getting started](https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/#fetching-the-source-code) page, or by running `git submodule init && git submodule update`)
|
|
|
|
Please see [the wiki page on compiling Inkscape](http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape) for the
|
|
most current dependencies, including links to the source tarballs.
|
|
For common linux-distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora) you can use
|
|
[a bash-script](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/raw/master/install_dependencies.sh?inline=false)
|
|
for getting required libraries.
|
|
|
|
Basic Installation
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
For Linux based Free Desktops, Inkscape version 0.92 and newer can be built using CMake:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `CONTRIBUTING.md` for more developer details and the [wiki](https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling_Inkscape).
|
|
|
|

|
Running Without Installing
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
For developers and others who want to run Inkscape without installing it please
|
|
see the ***Building*** section in the `CONTRIBUTING.md` file.
|
|
|
|
Extensions
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
All Inkscape extensions have been moved into their own repository. They
|
|
can be installed from there and should be packaged into builds directly.
|
|
Report all bugs and ideas to that sub project.
|
|
|
|
[Inkscape Extensions](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/)
|
|
|
|
They are available as a sub-module which can be updated independently:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git submodule update --remote
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will update the module to the latest version and you will see the
|
|
extensions directory is now changes in the git status. So be mindful of that.
|
|
|
|
Build Options
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
A number of configuration settings can be overridden through CMake. To
|
|
see a list of the options available for Inkscape, run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake -L
|
|
```
|
|
or, for more advanced cmake settings:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, to build Inkscape with only SVG 1 support, and no SVG 2, do:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake .. -DWITH_SVG2=OFF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, to build Inkscape with debugging symbols, do:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
|
|
```
