+Inkscape. Draw Freely.
+======================
+
+http://www.inkscape.org/
+
+Inkscape is an open source drawing tool with capabilities similar to
+Illustrator, Freehand, and CorelDraw that uses the W3C standard scalable
+vector graphics  format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include
+basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms,
+gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons
+meta-data, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path,
+and SVG XML editing. It also imports several formats like EPS, Postscript,
+JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based
+formats.
+
+Inkscape's main motivations are to provide the Open Source community
+with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool emphasizing a
+lightweight core with powerful features added as extensions, and the
+establishment of a friendly, open, community-oriented development
+processes.
+
+
+Basic Installation
+==================
+
+Inkscape version 0.92 and newer can be build using cmake:
+
+  mkdir build
+  cd build
+  cmake ..
+  make
+  make install
+
+Other platforms such as Windows and Mac require a lot more and are considered
+a developer and packager task. These instructions are kept on the Inkscape wiki.
+
+Required Dependencies
+=====================
+The Inkscape core depends on several other libraries that you will need
+install, if they are not already present on your system.  The most
+typical libraries you may need to install are:
+
+   * Boehm-GC 
+   * libsigc++
+   * glibmm  
+   * gtkmm  
+
+Please see http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape for the
+most current dependencies, including links to the source tarballs.
+
+
+Extension Dependencies
+======================
+Inkscape also has a number of extensions for implementing various
+features such as support for non-SVG file formats, etc.  In theory, all
+extensions are optional, however in practice you will want to have these
+installed and working.  Unfortunately, there is a great deal of
+variability in how you can get these functioning properly.  Here are
+some recommendations:
+
+First, make sure you have Perl and Python.  If you are on Windows you
+should also install Cygwin.
+
+Next, you will need to ensure the dependencies for each extension is
+present.  Depending on which extensions you need, the dependencies are
+going to vary, but here are some you may need to install:
+
+   * XML::Parser
+   * XML::XQL
+
+If you install dependencies to non-standard locations, such as
+installing XML::Parser someplace in your home directory, you may need to
+take some extra steps to indicate where those dependencies are to be
+found.  For instance, with Perl modules, set the PERLLIB or PERL5LIB
+variable (see `man perlrun`)
+
