Revision as of 13:16, 11 April 2007

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.

If you are using packages for synfig's dependencies, you want the development packages not the main packages. Check below for your distribution's packages.

Please read the download page and the FAQ to find out about any issues that you may run into along the way.

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:

  • Unix (Linux/MacOS X/BSD)
    • General
      • some distros have a pkg-config that doesn't look in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig by default. So if you are installing in anywhere other than the system pkg-config path, please run "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" or similar before building or installing anything.
      • don't use automake 1.4, there are problems with it
    • Gentoo: SVN ebuilds are available
  • 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.

Requires: autoconf automake

  • Debian: build-essential autoconf automake1.9
  1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/ETL/trunk/ etl
  2. cd etl
  3. ./bootstrap
  4. ./configure
  5. sudo make install

synfig

Requires: ETL, libxml++, libsigc++, libltdl, libtool

  • Debian: etl-dev libxml++2.6-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libltdl3-dev libtool
  • Gentoo: virtual/ETL dev-cpp/libxmlpp dev-libs/libsigc++

Note: libpng isn't required to build synfig, but if you build synfig without PNG support and go on to build synfigstudio, that step will fail (because the build process for synfigstudio uses synfig to create .png icon files). The package is libpng12-dev on Debian or media-libs/libpng on Gentoo.

Optional: libpng, libtiff, libjpeg, libfreetype, libfontconfig, libopenexr, libavcodec, vimage (MacOS only, proprietary)

  • Debian: libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libjpeg62-dev libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev libopenexr-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev
    • if using debian-multimedia.org debs swap the libav packages with the virtual packages libavformatcvs-dev libavcodeccvs-dev libavutilcvs-dev from debian-multimedia
  • Gentoo: sys-devel/libtool media-libs/libpng media-libs/tiff media-libs/jpeg media-libs/freetype media-libs/fontconfig media-libs/openexr media-libs/libavcodec

Runtime: encodedv (from libdv), ffmpeg, convert (from imagemagick)

  • Debian: libdv-bin ffmpeg imagemagick
  • Gentoo: media-libs/libdv media-video/ffmpeg media-gfx/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.

synfigstudio

Requires: ETL, synfig, gtkmm >= 2.4, gtk >= 2.0, glibmm, libsigc++, libltdl, libtool

  • Debian: etl-dev libsynfig-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libltdl3-dev libtool
  • Gentoo: virtual/ETL virtual/synfig dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.4 dev-libs/libsigc++ sys-devel/libtool

Optional: fonts (for the images), FMOD (proprietary)

  • Debian: ttf-freefont ttf-dejavu ttf-dustin
  • Gentoo: freefonts dejavu
  1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-studio/trunk/ synfigstudio
  2. cd synfigstudio
  3. ./bootstrap
  4. ./configure
  5. make
  6. sudo make install

synfig-docs

This is basically a copy of what is on this wiki.

Requires: sgml processor, ldp docbook stylesheets, db2ps, db2pdf

  • Debian: openjade ldp-docbook-dsssl docbook-utils
  1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-docs/trunk/ synfig-docs
  2. cd synfig-docs
  3. make multiple-html
  4. make ps
  5. make pdf
