  • build dependencies

    sudo port install autoconf automake

sudo port install librsvg libwpd libwpg libcroco

sudo port install libxslt boost boehmgc gtkmm lcms intltool popt

sudo port install cairo +quartz+no_x11 cairomm pango +quartz+no_x11 poppler +quartz gtk2 +quartz

sudo port install gsl

sudo port install hicolor-icon-theme

sudo port install subversion

sudo port install libxml2 libxslt

# optional to speed up the compiling process:
sudo port install ccache
export CC="ccache gcc"
export CXX="ccache g++"

  • 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 :-(
