Modify the script in step 5 by changing <code>LIBPREFIX="/usr/local"</code> and adding the following line to the cmake arguments:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
    -DIntl_INCLUDE_DIR="/usr/local/opt/gettext/include" \

The Inkscape Wiki is no longer used to host information about compiling Inkscape.

You can now find related information at GitLab.

This page is kept for historical reasons, e.g. to document specific decisions in Inkscape development.
