  • getting the sources

    cd tmp
    svn co https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk inkscape
    cd inkscape/packaging/macosx/
  • compile

    # Edit the file osx-build.sh to remove the configure option --enable-osxapp
    # (line 24)
    
    # I used TextWrangler for this, pico or another command line editor will do the same.
    
    # Back to the terminal:
    
    # configure it:
    sudo ./osx-build.sh c
    
    # build it:
    sudo ./osx-build.sh b
    
    # install it:
    sudo ./osx-build.sh i
    
    # test it:
    ../../Build/bin/inkscape

    compiles ok :-), but crashes rather rapidly :-(
