== Speed up Installation ==
= Using Homebrew =


You can also use <code>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ccache ccache]</code> (<code>sudo port install ccache</code>) to speed up the compilation a bit.
If you are using [https://brew.sh/ Homebrew] instead, you can still use the above guidelines with small modifications.
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 \
List of '''packages''' to install with brew
        -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
        -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
        -G Ninja \

= Misc =
Since '''Homebrew''' only offers <code>gettext</code> as a keg (not linked to <code>/usr/local</code>) an extra option needs to be passed on to <code>cmake</code>.


== Extension Python modules  ==
Modify the script in step 5 by changing <code>LIBPREFIX="/usr/local"</code> and adding the following line to the cmake arguments:
 
In case you are using a Python version installed through MacPorts do a search for both modules and install the ones suitable for the Python version activated within MacPorts.

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 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 \
        ..
    
    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.

List of packages to install with brew

brew install \
    adwaita-icon-theme \
    bdw-gc \
    boost \
    cairomm \
    ccache \
    cmake \
    double-conversion \
    gdl \
    gettext \
    graphicsmagick \
    gsl \
    gtk-mac-integration \
    gtkmm3 \
    gtkspell3 \
    imagemagick \
    intltool \
    lcms2 \
    libsoup \
    libsvg-cairo \
    libxslt \
    ninja \
    poppler \
    potrace

Since Homebrew only offers gettext as a keg (not linked to /usr/local) an extra option needs to be passed on to cmake.

Modify the script in step 5 by changing LIBPREFIX="/usr/local" and adding the following line to the cmake arguments:

    -DIntl_INCLUDE_DIR="/usr/local/opt/gettext/include" \
