Building under Ubuntu Dapper is easier than ever:
sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape sudo apt-get install liblcms-dev libboost-graph-dev build-essential # Untar and navigate to the inkscape source folder ./configure make sudo make install
Instead of doing "make install", on Debian-based distributions (such as Ubuntu) it is better to do
sudo checkinstall
since checkinstall first builds the .deb package and then installs it, thus making the package system aware of the newly installed inkscape. If you get the "command not found" message, do
sudo apt-get install checkinstall
Notes:
build-dep gets all the dependencies for the version of Inkscape that comes with Ubuntu. We're not building the same version, but most of the dependencies are the same.
libcms-dev was required for ./configure to work, and libboost-graph-dev was needed for "network connector layout functionality"
This was done on a recently installed Dapper (Ubuntu 6.06) system. I built Inkscape version 0.44.
The following packages are need to compile cvs inkscape under a default Ubuntu Hoary/Breezy/Dapper system:
apt-get install cvs build-essential intltool libtool libgtkmm-2.4-dev libglib2.0-dev libpng12-dev libxslt1-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libpopt-dev libgc-dev
Inkscape requires libgc-6.4.
Breezy/Dapper doesn't require any further work.
Hoary uses version 6.3, which is provided in the Repos. (Is there somewhere to get a .deb for 6.4?)
To overwrite libgc-6.3 with libgc-6.4:
Download gc6.4 ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install
