If you are using [https://brew.sh/ Homebrew] instead, you can still use the above guidelines with small modifications.
 
List of '''packages''' to install with brew
(for Inkscape 1.1):
 
<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 \
    libxslt \
    ninja \
    poppler \
    potrace
</syntaxhighlight>
 
You may substitute <code>imagemagick</code> with <code>graphicsmagick</code>.
 
<code>gtk-mac-integration</code> is not needed with latest <code>1.2-dev</code>.
 
Some keg-only libraries need to be added to <code>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code>
 
This was tested on an M1 MacBook Air with macOS 11.6 and Inkscape 1.2-dev. It only worked for me with the command line tools SDK and required `-isysroot $SDKROOT` and explicit linker flags (see below).
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
# use a clean Homebrew environment (optional)
LIBPREFIX="/opt/homebrew"
export PATH="$LIBPREFIX/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
 
# use command line tools SDK (Xcode SDK didn't work for me)
export SDKROOT="/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk"
 
# 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"
 
# where to install
PREFIX="$PWD/install-prefix"
 
mkdir -p build
cd build

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.
