I need to be able to convert some .SVG files into .PDF using the command line (well, through GNU Make) in a Linux compatible manner. I'm working on my PhD with a Linux and a Mac and I'd like to be able to have a uniform editing environment.

Workaround: I have put the attached file in my PATH and I can issue commands like

inkscape -z --export-pdf=image.pdf --file=image.svg

Caveats: The first time the script is called, it will activate the X11 environment and the
call will not be very fast. From then on, the conversions are as fast as in Linux.
