README: Move cmake installation directions to INSTALL
The installation guidelines in INSTALL were generic autotools
directions, so is now entirely obsolete.

[](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commits/master) -Basic Installation -================== -Inkscape version 0.92 and newer can be build using cmake: - -```bash -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. - -Running Without Installing -========================== - -For developers and others who want to run inkscape without installing it: - -```bash -ln -s . share/inkscape -mkdir -p build/conf -cd build -cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$PWD/../ .. -make -j4 -export INKSCAPE_PROFILE_DIR=$PWD/conf -PATH=$PWD/bin/:$PATH -./bin/inkscape -``` - -This won't work for other platforms such as Windows and Mac, see above. But -what it is doing is linking the share directory into a location where -the inkscape binary will be able to find it. Allowing you to change the -inkscape shared files without rebuilding or installing. - -Then setting a local configuration directory, keeping your configurations -separate from any installed version. - -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](http://www.hboehm.info/gc/) - * [libsigc++](http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/) - * [gtkmm](https://www.gtkmm.org/) - -Please see [the wiki page on compiling Inkscape](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. 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 Python. If you are on Windows you -should also install [Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com/). - -Second, if an extension does not work, check the file -`extensions-errors.log` located on Linux at `~/.config/inkscape` and on -Windows at `%userprofile%\Application Data\Inkscape\`. Any missing -programs will be listed. +For installation, please see: + INSTALL.md |
