Cannot build on Fedora rawhide: gcc7

[Gwyn Ciesla]

Both 0.92.1 and r15583 fail to build:

It seems that you run cmake from the root dir of the source. Inkscape wiki (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CMake) says: "Experience with Scribus strongly suggests using an "out of source" build arrangement".

Try to follow the instructions.

[Gwyn Ciesla (limburgher)]

Thank you, that seemed to help. How do I disable building the static libs?

   /usr/lib/inkscape/lib2geom_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libavoid_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libcola_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libcroco_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libdepixelize_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libgc_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libinkscape_base.so
   /usr/lib/inkscape/liblivarot_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libnrtype_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libuemf_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libutil_LIB.a
   /usr/lib/inkscape/libvpsc_LIB.a

It seems that '.a' files are intermediate result of compiling to then produce libinkscape_base.so. After compiling and linking Inkscape doesn't require them anymore and they could safely be deleted. I don't know how to avoid installing them :(

[Gwyn Ciesla (limburgher)]

Thank you. Can you direct me to a complete, current list of compilation requirements? All the information I can find seems stale.

Here's my attempt to make a list of dependencies for trunk version of Inkscape:

Build tools:
    cmake
    pkg-config
    C & C++ compiler with optional OpenMP (GCC)
    boost
    python3
    gettext (optional?, for translations)
    intltool (optional, for translations)

Dependencies:
    aspell
    boehmgc (libgc)
    dbus-glib
    gtk+-3.0
    gtkmm-3.0
    gdl-3.0
    gsl
    libjpeg
    popt
    potrace
    python2
    sigc++-2.0
    libxslt
    libxml2

Optional dependencies:
    libcdr
    gmock
    gnome-vfs-2.0
    gtkspell3-3.0
    imagemagick
    lcms2
    poppler-glib
    uniconvertor
    libvisio
    libwpg
    libyaml

    python2-lxml (for some extensions)
    python2-numpy (for some extensions)
    ruby (for some extensions)

You can always check for required packages by running cmake — it will immediately stop with an error message if a package couldn't be found.

Also you can find very similar list of Inkscape dependencies here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/inkscape-bzr/

Perfect, thank you!
