compiling inkscape 48 from tar

Post by Isaac »

This is the slowest thing that's ever happened! Why is compiling so slow when sudo apt-get install is so fast?!? Is there that big of a difference?

Because you don't compile anything when you apt-get stuff. It's already been compiled for you.

You probably want this anyways:

Interesting. You'd use this? I know that inkscape has no official backports to ubuntu 10.04, so I was just a little nervous using these unofficial PPAs.

I got the official tar file though. This morning make was all finished. Now dong make install . Actually I'm doing sudo make install. Not sure how people get away with just make install with out permission errors.

edit:
inkscape 48.2 works on my os! That was the biggest app I ever had to compile. Normally I only do small stuff.

Maybe I will use the ppa, because the version I compiled won't export HTML5 canvas for some reason. Maybe I screwed up.

Also, the last official ppa I used, /trunk, didn't backport 48 to 10.04. I bet /stable will keep me at the stable 10.04 version, 47. I'll have to wait and see when I get home.

Thanks for finding it!

also note: if people give you a snippet of code along these lines:

Code: Select all

# command here
They are meaning that you should be doing it as root while this:

Code: Select all

$ command here
indicates that you should be doing it as your standard user.

You will note that your terminal editor gives you a $. If you su root, you will find that the $ changes into a #. It's supposed to be a quick, easy way to tell if you're in root or not.

I have a custom line thingy (I don't remember what it's called) so mine is all colorful and cool looking when I'm in my normal user, and it's all boring and plain when I'm in root, or any other user.


My .bashrc:

Code: Select all

# Check for an interactive session
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
#PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '




KEEP_OPEN=yes

export PS1='\[\033[0;32m\]┌┼─┼─ \[\033[0m\033[0;32m\]\u\[\033[0m\] @ \[\033[0;36m\]\h\[\033[0m\033[0;32m\] ─┤├─ \[\033[0m\]\t \d\[\033[0;32m\] ─┤├─ \[\033[0;34m\]\w\[\033[0;32m\] ─┤ \n\[\033[0;32m\]└┼─\[\033[0m\033[0;32m\]\$\[\033[0m\033[0;32m\]─┤▶\[\033[0m\] '

echo -e "                Welcome to ${bold}Arch Linux${boldoff}"
sleep 1
clear

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:~/bin
