Basic Installation
==================
-Inkscape uses the standard procedure for compilation and installation:
+Inkscape version 0.92 and newer can be build using cmake:
- ./configure
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ cmake ..
make
make install
-If a "./configure" file is not present, you can create it by running
-the "./autogen.sh" command, which calls in turn a number of other
-programs such as automake and autoconf. See INSTALL for more
-details.
+We also still include autoconf in 0.92 as an alternate build system, in
+case anything goes haywire with the new cmake scripts:
+
+ ./autogen.sh # Optional, use if configure doesn't exist
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
For platform specific instructions please read the README file that
is associated with that platform (e.g. for Mac OS X read README.osx)
