If you want to build/test inkscape on Slackware maybe the fastest way to get started, as Slackware doesn't use dependency resolution for packages, is to have a full installation: for that you can use slackpkg, already present in the container (it just need the additional mpfr package installed to work cleany -for awk, I already updated the lxc template for it, but not yet the tarballs). So:
- download and install mpfr
Code:
wget http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-14.1/slackware/l/mpfr-3.1.2-i486-1.txz
installpkg mpfr-3.1.2-i486-1.txz
- edit /etc/slackpkg/mirrors substituting the active one with
Code:
http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-14.1/
- launch
Code:
slackpkg update
slackpkg install slackware
- install all the suggested choices (it will take some time);
- as you will need additional dependencies not in Slackware, use
sbopkg for that (a semi-automated tool to build from the third-party build script repository of
SlackBuilds.org)
Code:
wget http://sbopkg.googlecode.com/files/sbopkg-0.37.0-noarch-1_cng.tgz
installpkg sbopkg-0.37.0-noarch-1_cng.tgz
sbopkg -r
sbopkg -i "numpy BeautifulSoup lxml mm-common libsigc++ glibmm cairomm pangomm atkmm gtkmm gsl"
(also this will take a little)
then copy the
SlackBuild.org's build script for inkscape locally (you can get the inkscape.tar.gz there), and make it point in the inkscape.SlackBuild at a bazaar snapshot (edit the $VERSION variable) and adding just an ./autogen.sh to it.
I just tested the above (as I'm curious and an Inkscape user too
) with the a revision 13358 snapshot and inkscape builds and (seems to) work fine.
