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.
Some libraries can cause trouble if they are picked up from the SDK instead of Homebrew (observed with <code>libxslt</code> and <code>libxml2</code>). Adding them to <code>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> should fix this.

You can also use <code>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ccache ccache]</code> (<code>sudo port install ccache</code>) to speed up the compilation a bit. To do so, add compiler variables:
Then <code>cd inkscape</code> and follow the steps below.

export CXX="ccache g++"</pre>


== Creating an .app bundle ==

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 \
    ../inkscape

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 (for Inkscape 1.1): 

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@2 \
    libxslt \
    ninja \
    poppler \
    potrace

You may substitute imagemagick with graphicsmagick.

gtk-mac-integration is not needed with latest 1.2-dev.

Some keg-only libraries need to be added to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Some libraries can cause trouble if they are picked up from the SDK instead of Homebrew (observed with libxslt and libxml2). Adding them to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH should fix this.

Check out the source if you haven't already: 

git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git

Then cd inkscape and follow the steps below.

This was tested on an M1 MacBook Air with macOS 11.6 and Inkscape 1.2-dev, and an M2 MacBook Air with macOS 13.0.1 and Inkscape 1.2.1, 1.2.x from git. 

# use a clean Homebrew environment (optional)
LIBPREFIX="/opt/homebrew"
export PATH="$LIBPREFIX/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

# 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"

# prevent picking up libxslt and libxml2 from the (wrong) SDK
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$LIBPREFIX/opt/libxslt/lib/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$LIBPREFIX/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig"

# where to install
PREFIX="$PWD/install-prefix"

mkdir -p build
cd build

cmake \
    -G Ninja \
    -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS="-L$LIBPREFIX/lib" \
    -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-L$LIBPREFIX/lib" \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache \
    -DWITH_DBUS=OFF \
    ..

ninja
ninja install

Packaging

If $PREFIX/bin/inkscape works when executed and you want to turn it into an app or a DMG, have a look at the files inside the inkscape/packaging/macos directory. More info can be found on upstream mibap:

Follow the steps to install the toolset, package the app, and create a DMG. In case you use upstream mibap, you will get the app under /Users/Shared/work/mibap-*/ and you will get a DMG file in the same place you ran ./build_inkscape.sh.
