dinosaur: come see us on IRC. synfig doesn't use compatible.h so I don't see where that is coming from.

Hi. I am trying to compile synfig on Mandriva 2008. I've got an include error due to sigc++/compatible.h is missing. Is there any way to use ‘sigc’ namespace instead ‘SigC’ in the sources?

Looks like you have the synfig packages installed and synfig is using those instead of the SVN ones.

Hello. Im trying to compile latest svn synfig on Ubuntu Gutsy, all dependancies installed as described in the build howto. 'make'ing synfig studio i get the following error (last lines of ‘make’):

Any idea what is wrong here ? I'd appreciate any help.

Emanuel: please come onto IRC, so we can help you debug it in realtime. For compiling, were you using svn, or the released source code?

For the OpenSuse problem, please contact the person that made the opensuse rpms and tell them about it.

Hi!

I'm trying to install synfig. I use OpenSuse 10.2. I've downloaded the packages for Suse, and it didn't work, asks a lots of files.

Then, I'm trying to install compilling, but when I use ./configure, it stop asking for libxml++. I have it (version 2.6), and it keeps asking, stopping the installation. What am I doing wrong?

Tks

Thank you all for your hardwork! I always wait in eager anticipation for your new releases. Looking foreward to trying out this new version.

RE: Synfig 0.61.07

Excellent release! Something not entirely definable has changed for the better, making this release feel a good deal more stable and generally coherent. I can't wait to see where this goes next!

Yeha, this software's on a roll!

Just to say Congratulations! to all the development team. You're on the good way.

Cheers!

Those are just warnings and can be safely ignored. Do you have any errors?

I've fixed the warnings in svn now, as of r772.

Yeah, rewriting Synfig in any language would be a heap of work. In my personal opinion (having looked a bit at the code while trying to do the Mac OS X build (X11, Intel only)) it would probably be better to simply do a code cleanup, since it looks quite messy to me, but I'm not a programmer (at least not a C/C++ one) and I've never worked on anything big, so maybe I'm just looking at it wrong.

As for cross-platform toolkits (wx etc.), they are not really that great, since they are NOT native, though they may look so, they definitely don't behave so. A lot of the Cocoa-behavior is lost, while some GTK-features are also not supported, all because they can only allow elements that are implementable on all “supported” platforms. Not really viable for a highly GUI-based app like Synfig. For small things, like network tools and such it's great, but think about it, there's a reason that Gimp and Pidgin/Gaim uses GTK instead of wxWidgets.

If Synfig were to be ported to OS X for real (without X11), then an approach like that of NeoOffice (Cocoa version of OpenOffice) or SeaShore (Cocoa version of Gimp) is needed - that is, a real Cocoa port, which I'm not able to deliver, as I now squat about coding Cocoa apps.

I will, however, try my best to fix the Pango-issue, that is currently holding back the OS X binary (which does require X11 and is Intel-only), but I'm low on spare time, so it might take a while yet, since trial and error involves some testers to be sure it'll run on a vanilla OS X install. (I have the testers, they just don't have a whole lot of time either.)

Everyone complaining has GOT to remember that this is something people work on in their spare time out of sheer interest, so try to be constructive (which most of you appear to do) and you might just get a constructive response.

hi, great work. i am trying to compile the latest svn; but so far getting the same error message as digitalinferno. And i think there is errors on the svn files.

for example; aclocal -I config config/pkgconfig.m4:5: warning: underquoted definition of PKGCHECKMODULES

5th line of pkgconfig.m4 in the config file (svn of synfig-core/config) is not defined as: ACDEFUN([PKGCHECKMODULES], [ instead it's written ACDEFUN(PKGCHECKMODULES, [

could you look into this please?

Re-writing synfig in .NET would probably 1) take a bloody long time (there is heaps of code) 2) make it slower than it already is 3) expose us to the conseqences of any Microsoft patent offensive against Mono (ie - synfig might have to be rewritten in another language). Best keep it in a vendor-agnostic language anyways.

RE: Synfig Meeting

"Will you be rewriting synfigstudio in wxWidgets ion?"

I wish I was that good of a programmer! I just think its a good idea to move to an object oriented framework that does a better job at cross platform. The Mono .NET thing would accomplish the same thing too (but I haven't used it so I wouldn't know if it's good or not).

You can get to know synfig by reading the wiki, downloading it and playing around.
