cannot build inkscape (uristream.cpp error)

Asked by Ahmad Dendi Dwipayana

I'm trying to build inkscape on archlinux, configure seems to work but it failed when i run 'make'.

here is the error message:

dom/io/uristream.cpp: In member function ‘void org::w3c::dom::io::UriInputStream::init()’:
dom/io/uristream.cpp:102: error: ‘strlen’ was not declared in this scope

i wonder is it because i use gcc 4.3.1?

i managed to pass this error by commenting line 102 on uristream.cpp..
but i haven't successfully compile inkscape because of the pdf-parser issue.. [1]

i ended up using the svn version.. and there seems to be no problem.

Yes, strlen() is gone in the current svn version. Also, that pdf-parser.cpp problem is solved by adding POPPLER_NEW_GFXFONT to CFLAGS, like:

./configure CFLAGS="-DPOPPLER_NEW_GFXFONT" (and anything else you need)
