Comment 94 for bug 375323

Finally, I was able to compile the latest cairo source code, following the instructions from here
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Inkscape_Devlibs and here
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows

There was some issue with libpng. I downloaded the latest libpng from here http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php and copied it into MSyS and then it kinda worked. It had some error message but I still received the attached files, which enabled me to use Inkscape 0.48.2.1 with psfrag. So if one uses windows, psfrag now should work with inkscape. One just has to copy the attached files into the inkscape home directory. If there appears a message that libpng12.dll cannot be found, copying libpng12-0.dll seems to seal the deal.

As commented before there is some issue with kerning. Probably this should be a new bug, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49902
