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 LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Install Inkscape by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -D ENABLE_POPPLER=FALSE \ -D ENABLE_POPPLER_CAIRO=FALSE \ .. && make
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+-3.24.43 installed
(for the icon cache) and desktop-file-utils-0.28 (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
-D
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
: This switch is used to build
the release library without any debug `assert` in the code.
-D ENABLE_POPPLER=FALSE
:
This switch disables PDF support because it does not build with
poppler-24.11.0.
-D WITH_DBUS=ON
: use this if you wish
to use inkscape in
interactive scripts which manipulate images.
