Dev:Build Instructions

Notes

If you are using the released versions instead of SVN, the first 3 steps for each component are not necessary. For released versions, "./configure && make && sudo make install" should be enough.

SVN

Anonymous access to the Synfig subversion repository for Synfig is enabled! Here are the URLs to the respective repositories:

• http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-core/
• http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-studio/
• http://svn.voria.com/code/ETL/

System-Specific

The later sections of this page can be used for any system, but the following links and wiki pages offer some system-specific help:

• Linux
  • Gentoo
• Windows: Using the cygwin environment for your build, and just having

it build mingw binaries seems to make things a little easier.

ETL

ETL is a template library, there is nothing to build really, it just needed to be installed.

1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/ETL/trunk/ etl
2. cd etl
3. ./bootstrap
4. ./configure
5. sudo make install

synfig-core

Requires: ETL, libxml++, libsigc++
Optional: libltdl, libpng, libtiff, libjpeg, libfreetype, libfontconfig, libopenexr, libavcodec, vimage (MacOS only, proprietary)
Runtime: encodedv (from libdv), ffmpeg, convert (from imagemagick)

1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-core/trunk/ synfig
2. cd synfig
3. ./bootstrap
4. ./configure
5. make
6. sudo make install

Notes:

• Don't use --enable-half, it is slow.

synfig-studio

Requires: ETL, gtkmm >= 2.4, gtk >= 2.0, glibmm, libsigc++
Optional: FMOD (proprietary)

1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-studio/trunk/ synfigstudio
2. cd synfigstudio
3. ./bootstrap
4. ./configure
5. make
