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.
