Inkscape is a what you see is what you get Scalable Vector Graphics editor. It is useful for creating, viewing and changing SVG images.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the book.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/inkscape
Install Inkscape by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ .. && make
This package may occasionally fail when building with multiple processors. See Using Multiple Processors for more information.
This package does not come with a working test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
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+-2.24.33 or
GTK+-3.24.36 installed (for the icon cache)
and desktop-file-utils-0.26 (for
the desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the
root
user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor && update-desktop-database -q
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
:
This switch is used to build the release library without any debug
`assert` in the code.
-DWITH_DBUS=ON
: use this if you wish to
use inkscape in
interactive scripts which manipulate images.
