Bugzilla Bug 81529

Tarball available, renaming the inkscape-0.40.ebuild works fine for me. (-r1
path no longer needed, I think)

-Sud.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

It needs boehm-gc-6.4.
See attached .ebuild

Created an attachment (id=50965) [edit]
An ebuild for version .41

This updates for the requirement of boehm-6.4

Thank you, Mr. Bonser - already had that version of boehm-gc installed, so I
didn't notice anything.

While on the subject, what happened to the check for the c++ flag in the last
round? Did it prove unnecessary?

-Sud.

Hmm, actually, it won't build on my system still (unless I set USE=-gnome),
even with boehm-6.4.

There seems to be a problem with it using gnome-print.

The bug is also noted on the sourceforge page for inkscape:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1120421&group_id=93438&atid=604306

good thing I don't need to print from it, eh?

We switched to use of the C version of boehm-gc to eliminate the need to
compile with C++.

I see that the bug is fixed in CVS, is there a patch for 0.41 release?

gnome-print patch

Here's a patch for the gnome-print compile problem (created use gnome.cpp 1.18
from cvs). Works for me - doesn't look like it would cause any issues anyway.

Seems that some of the extensions need additional external programs, I added to
RDEPEND:
	>=media-gfx/pstoedit-3.33 
	>=media-gfx/skencil-0.6.16

Maybe this should be optional in some way.

( There are also some interesting configure options:
  --with-gnome-print	  use gnome print font database and spooler frontend
  --without-inkjar	  disable openoffice files (SVG jars)
  --with-perl		  use Perl for embedded scripting
  --with-python 	  use Python for embedded scripting
that could maybe also be use'd)

Can I also make a plea for using bz2's instead of gz's whenever they are
available.

ebuild with patch and use flag update

I hope this isn't bad gentoo etiquette (attaching an ebuild to someone else's
bug), but since I was interested in getting the latest inkscape I created a new
ebuild based on the patch and perl and python use flag requests mentioned in
this bug. It is working on my machine, but an ebuild expert ought to peruse it.


Inkscape will display a dialog warning at launch if Dia and wmf2svg have not
been installed. The dialog isn't clear about what happened, you have to find an
error log. However nothing is actually wrong with inkscape and it starts OK. I
guess these could be use flags also, but I have not incorporated them.

wmf2svg is in media-libs/libwmf

looks like one could also add a "bonobo" use flag

what does --with-popt in the ebuild do? can't find anything to explain it

Created an attachment (id=52053) [edit]
proposed updated 0.41 ebuild with added use flags

working from the earlier attached ebuild
added use flags: bonobo inkjar
removed --with-popt as it seems to have been dropped as a configure option
added glibmm depend as it's listed on the inkscape developer page

I'll take a closer look at this one today.

Works smoothly for me, thanks for this one.

Should the      >=media-gfx/pstoedit-3.33 >=media-gfx/skencil-0.6.16 really be
required? They *are* optional extensions. Perhaps a patch in the warning
dialogue would be better- which packages to emerge.

-Sud.

I'm having this error:

The latest ebuild here works for me on ~x86.  I agree there should be some
einfo messages about libwmf, etc.

Nevermind, now compiles fine :)
Only i'm getting this in the error log:
Extension "Windows Metafile Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met.
Dependency::
  type: executable
  location: path
  string: wmf2svg

Extension "Dia Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met.
Dependency::
  type: executable
  location: path
  string: dia
  description: In order to import Dia files, Dia itself must be installed.  You can get Dia at http://somesite.com

The ebuild should contain some einfo about what packages are needed (btw, what packages are needed? XD)

Created an attachment (id=54084) [edit]
inkscape-0.41.ebuild (with 'plugin' USE flag)

Adds in a new local USE flag, 'plugin', for all the optional dependancies.

Also gives a message at the end of apropriate packages.

Bumped in portage, thanks for help.
