Hi,

I'm looking for a solution to export/create graphics in svg format under MorphOS. What I would need is eg. to save vectorgraphics, like eps or illustrator to svg, also vectorized text, saved as eps to svg, or pdf with vector graphics to svg.

Is there any solution do to that?

Thanks for feedback.

Christoph

It's a shame that inkspace are so hard linked to huge and complexes libraries like gtkmm&glibmm, sigc++, boehm-gc, and many other linux libs!

Actually I did a little research on doing a gui-less port (Inkscape offers quite a few interesting command-line options (besides, it's always a good start on the way to a full port)) a few years back, and I got it linking, however IIRC I had some issues with getting boehm-gc/sigc++ working correctly...

gui-less... but most of all difficulties reside in the GUI stuffs
So, well, command-line features are to converting SVG from/to various others format, aren't?

Many others open-source projects do that already and are much easier to port also.

Note: few years back, inkscape was coded in C... now it's 90% in C++ with C++ external libraries also. So I think that your code needs to be re-written again.

Sure, but most of the time you won't actually port that part, but rather rewrite the whole shebang.

There were some other options too I think, but yeah, for converting SVGs I already ported a few of those... ;)

Well, I do remember there being a bit of C++, but if it's almost exclusively C++ now it surely has gone in the wrong direction. :P

Hi all,

thanks for feedback but what I also need is to convert already vector graphics, like illustrator or eps or dr2d or a pdf with vector graphics in it to svg! Potrace seems not to be able to do that...

Hehe. Porting of C++ apps is a pain, especially when OS lacks C++ compiler.

Huh ?

MorphOS does have a C++ compiler, a little bit old but sufficient for most things. Doubtfull wether a newer C++ (which do exist, just not officially approved) would really make a differnce here.

/me goes back to fighting with SVG
