You can run Inkscape by compiling by using Fink.  http://fink.sourceforge.net
= Using MacPorts =


It's as simple as: #fink -y install inkscape

Fink will get all the dependencies and install them.
If you can build successfully with MacPorts, please update this file and remove above comment.

List of '''packages''' to install with brew
(for Inkscape 1.4):


For a clean 10.3 installation with a brand new Fink, I had to add the following:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
brew install \
    adwaita-icon-theme \
    bdw-gc \
    boost \
    cairomm \
    ccache \
    cmake \
    double-conversion \
    gettext \
    gsl \
    gspell \
    gtk-mac-integration \
    gtkmm3 \
    imagemagick \
    intltool \
    lcms2 \
    libomp \
    libsoup@2 \
    libxslt \
    ninja \
    pkg-config \
    poppler \
    potrace
</syntaxhighlight>


* intltool
You may substitute <code>imagemagick</code> with <code>graphicsmagick</code>.
* glib2
* glib2-dev
* libpng3
* libart2
* libxml2
* gtk+2
* gtk+2-dev


In theory you can just list all those on one install command.
<code>gtk-mac-integration</code> is not needed with latest <code>1.2-dev</code>.
-- JonCruz


Apart from the above env variables I had to set the following variables to compile cvs
Some keg-only libraries need to be added to <code>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code>
(taken right out of fink's .info file). This is in bash syntax, above is tcsh syntax.
(I havent experimented with this list to see whats the minimum required.. but if I dont include any of the following than it breaks.)
<pre>
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /sw/share/aclocal"
export CFLAGS=-I/sw/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib
export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
export CPPFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:/sw/lib
export CPATH=/sw/include
export PATH="/usr/X11R6/bin:"$PATH
export LIBS="-L/sw/lib -lintl "$LIBS
</pre>


Update: There is a problem with rendering cursors on mac due to a gcc bug. At this point fink is maintaining an inkscape package and they are going to use a patch to fix it for 0.38.1 so I recommend fink package. If you are interested in patching yourself, visit tracker item 932944 at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=932944&group_id=93438&atid=604306 .
Some libraries can cause trouble if they are picked up from the SDK instead of Homebrew (observed with <code>libxslt</code> and <code>libxml2</code>). Adding them to <code>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> should fix this.

Check out the source if you haven't already:


since gtkmm-2.0 has been added as a requirement, you may need to install it thru darwinports; to use it along whatever you installed with fink prior to that, the flags are:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git</syntaxhighlight>


<pre>
Then <code>cd inkscape</code> and follow the steps below.
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /sw/share/aclocal"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/
export LDFLAGS="-lintl -L/sw/lib -L/opt/local/lib"
export CFLAGS="-I/sw/include -I/opt/local/include"
export CPPFLAGS=$CFLAGS
export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
</pre>

* M2 Mac Mini with macOS 14.2 and Inkscape 1.4-dev. (After adding pkg-config.)


If you need to run "./autogen.sh":
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
# use a clean Homebrew environment (optional)

Using MacPorts

OUT OF DATE

If you can build successfully with MacPorts, please update this file and remove above comment.

  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 https://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 \
    ../inkscape

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

Using Homebrew

If you are using Homebrew instead, you can still use the above guidelines with small modifications. (Make sure you don't have any MacPorts stuff in your PATH.)

List of packages to install with brew (for Inkscape 1.4): 

brew install \
    adwaita-icon-theme \
    bdw-gc \
    boost \
    cairomm \
    ccache \
    cmake \
    double-conversion \
    gettext \
    gsl \
    gspell \
    gtk-mac-integration \
    gtkmm3 \
    imagemagick \
    intltool \
    lcms2 \
    libomp \
    libsoup@2 \
    libxslt \
    ninja \
    pkg-config \
    poppler \
    potrace

You may substitute imagemagick with graphicsmagick.

gtk-mac-integration is not needed with latest 1.2-dev.

Some keg-only libraries need to be added to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Some libraries can cause trouble if they are picked up from the SDK instead of Homebrew (observed with libxslt and libxml2). Adding them to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH should fix this.

Check out the source if you haven't already: 

git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git

Then cd inkscape and follow the steps below.

Tested with:

  • M1 MacBook Air with macOS 11.6 and Inkscape 1.2-dev
  • M2 MacBook Air with macOS 13.0.1 and Inkscape 1.2.1, 1.2.x from git.
  • M2 Mac Mini with macOS 14.2 and Inkscape 1.4-dev. (After adding pkg-config.)
# use a clean Homebrew environment (optional)
LIBPREFIX="/opt/homebrew"
export PATH="$LIBPREFIX/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

# keg-only libraries
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$LIBPREFIX/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$LIBPREFIX/opt/libsoup@2/lib/pkgconfig"

# prevent picking up libxslt and libxml2 from the (wrong) SDK
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$LIBPREFIX/opt/libxslt/lib/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$LIBPREFIX/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig"

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

mkdir -p build
cd build

cmake \
    -G Ninja \
    -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS="-L$LIBPREFIX/lib" \
    -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-L$LIBPREFIX/lib" \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
    -DWITH_DBUS=OFF \
    ..

ninja
ninja install

Packaging

If $PREFIX/bin/inkscape works when executed and you want to turn it into an app or a DMG, have a look at the files inside the inkscape/packaging/macos directory. More info can be found on upstream mibap:

Follow the steps to install the toolset, package the app, and create a DMG. In case you use upstream mibap, you will get the app under /Users/Shared/work/mibap-*/ and you will get a DMG file in the same place you ran ./build_inkscape.sh.
