If you want an Official Release, note that from version 0.42 of Inkscape a Mac OS X package (in .dmg form) will be available. In addition, regular Development Versions will be build. Both can be downloaded from Inkscape's downloads page:

<li>Edit the MacPorts variants config (optional).

Inkscape for Mac OS X is an X client: it runs under the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System X Windows System]. You will need an X Windows Server installed for it to work. You can get Apple's X Server (requires Mac OS X 10.3 or above) here:

mkdir build
cd build

== Compiling How To ==
= Using Homebrew =


'''Note''': You could use the [http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/inkscape Inkscape package] from the [http://fink.sourceforge.net Fink project] to install Inkscape from source but this package is usally older that the precompiled Development Versions and even that the Official Release so this does not seem useful.
If you are using [https://brew.sh/ Homebrew] instead, you can still use the above guidelines with small modifications.


'''Requirements''':
List of '''packages''' to install with brew
#Mac OS X 10.3 of higher
#A full [http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#unstable unstable fink] installation
#Inkscape's source code. You can get the [http://www.inkscape.org/download.php official release source code], a [http://www.inkscape.org/cvs-snap/ CVS snapshot] or a copy of the [http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=93438 cvs repository] (the module name is "inkscape")


'''Installing dependencies''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
brew install \
    adwaita-icon-theme \
    bdw-gc \
    boost \
    cairomm \
    ccache \
    cmake \
    double-conversion \
    gdl \

    intltool \
    lcms2 \
    libsoup \
    libsvg-cairo \
    libxslt \
    ninja \
    poppler \
    potrace
</syntaxhighlight>


In a Terminal type:
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>.
<pre>
fink install �
        intltool �
        glib2 glib2-dev glib2-shlibs �
        gtk+2 gtk+2-shlibs gtk+2-dev �
        libpng3 libpng3-shlibs �
        libsigc++2 libsigc++2-shlibs �
        gtkmm2.4 gtkmm2.4-dev gtkmm2.4-shlibs �
        libtool14 libtool14-shlibs �
        libxml2 libxml2-shlibs �
        popt popt-shlibs �
        gc gc-shlibs automake 1.8
</pre>


You need automake 1.8 and not the latest in fink (1.9.6-1). Fink installs many packages from source so this is usually long.
Modify the script in step 5 by changing <code>LIBPREFIX="/usr/local"</code> and adding the following line to the cmake arguments:


'''Setting the build environment''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
    -DIntl_INCLUDE_DIR="/usr/local/opt/gettext/include" \
</syntaxhighlight>


You need set the following environment variables (taken right out of fink's <code>.info</code> file) for the compilation to work. They are in bash syntax. You can create a file named <code>set_variables.sh</code> for example and copy/paste this inside:

export CXX="g++"
export CFLAGS="-I$FINK/include -O3 -Wall"
export LDFLAGS="-L$FINK/lib"
export CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
export CPPFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS"
</pre>


Optionaly, to speed up the compilation a bit you could use <code>ccache</code> if you have it installed:
[[Category:Developer Documentation]]
<pre>
export CC="ccache gcc"
export CXX="ccache g++"
</pre>
 
Then, open a Terminal and, in the directory where you created the file, type:
<pre>
bash
source set_variables.sh
</pre>
 
Then you need to build the configure script. Cd to Inkscape's source directory and run:
<pre>
autogen.sh
</pre>
 
'''Building''':
 
Open a Terminal and cd to Inkscape's sources directory. Type:
<pre>
./configure --prefix=/some/directory/
make
make install
</pre>
 
You have to put your build products somewhere you have write access to (for example you home directory) in order to be able to package the application from there afterwards. That is what the <code>--prefix</code> option is for.
 
'''Packaging''':
 
The process is fully automatized. You just have to open a Terminal, cd to Inkscape's sources directory and type:
<pre>
cd packaging
./osx-app.sh /path/to/bin/inkscape ../Info.plist macosx
</pre>
 
You will end up with two files in current directory: Inkscape.app that you can copy to your Applications directory and Inkscape.dmg for distribution.

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" \
