Inkscape Win32 Development Support Files
This directory contains support files for Win32 API builds of Inkscape.
Libraries, a MinGW cross compiler, a MinGW native compiler, and other
files can be found here.
- Library bundles are listed as devlibs-{gtk-version}-YYMMDD.7z. We maintain these bundles so that individual developers do not need to comb the Net for all of the Inkscape dependencies.
We also do this to make sure that we are all debugging the same environment. The previous names were gtk{version}-YYMMDD.7z.
Note that we recently imported the devlibs into a Subversion repository. devlibs-svn-YYMMDD.7z is a zipped working copy of a Subversion checkout. Even though it is much larger, over time there will be a net benefit that you will only need to do an "svn update" in the future to get the latest updates.
- The MinGW cross-compiler is named as xmingw-4.x.x-tar.bz2. This was built on Fedora 6, and has also been used on Fedora 7. We think it should work fine on most recent Linuxes. Unpack and move to /usr/local/xmingw. Add /usr/local/xmingw/bin to your path, but not /usr/local/xmingw/i686-pc-mingw32/bin.
- The MinGW native compiler is named as mingw-4.x.x-YYMMDD.7z
- Note that the files before 071022 were compiled with setjump/longjump (sjlj) exception handling, and
will not work with the current compiler or library.
People needing information on how to build Inkscape on Win32
should look at the wiki
for details.
