== Speed up Installation ==
You can use <code>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ccache ccache]</code> (<code>sudo port install ccache</code>) to speed up re-compilation.
Also, [https://ninja-build.org/ ninja] (<code>sudo port install ninja</code>) is a faster alternative to <code>make</code>.
Modify your call to <code>cmake</code> like this:
cmake \
        -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
        -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
        -G Ninja \
        # more cmake options here

Using MacPorts

  1. Download and install MacPorts
  2. Edit the MacPorts variants config (optional).
    Add this line to /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf 
    -x11 +quartz
  3. In Terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal) type 
    sudo port install \
     adwaita-icon-theme \
     boehmgc \
     boost \
     cairo \
     ccache \
     cmake \
     double-conversion \
     gdl3 \
     gettext \
     gsl \
     gtkmm3 \
     gtk-osx-application-gtk3 \
     lcms2 \
     libsoup \
     libxslt \
     ninja \
     poppler \
     potrace \
     py-lxml \
     py-numpy \
     -x11 +quartz
  4. In Terminal, get Inkscape 
    git clone --recurse-submodules git@gitlab.com:inkscape/inkscape.git
  5. And build inkscape 
    # use a clean MacPorts environment (optional)
LIBPREFIX="/opt/local"
export PATH="$LIBPREFIX/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

# where to install
PREFIX="$PWD/install-prefix"

# where to build
mkdir build
cd build

cmake \
    -G Ninja \
    -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$LIBPREFIX" \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$PREFIX" \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
    -DWITH_OPENMP=OFF \
    ..

ninja
ninja install

    Note: Using ccache and ninja is not required, but very common because it speeds up compilation.

  6. Run Inkscape 
    $PREFIX/bin/inkscape
