inkscape-devel +quartz variant uses x11 instead of quartz

[gallafent]

Today I installed inkscape-devel on OS 10.9, using up-to-date macports, with the +quartz variant.

forth:Development williamg$ port installed |grep inkscape
  inkscape-devel @0.48.99.13294_0+python27+quartz (active)

When I start inkscape, though, it starts the X server, and runs under X11.

Surely it should be running native graphics when installed with the +quartz variant!

I'm doing a test build now but I'll point out in the meantime that its the version of gtkmm and its dependencies that are installed that determines whether the flavor of inkscape-devel is +quartz or +x11. If you want to be completely X11 free be sure to build using +quartz -x11 since some dependencies have +x11 default variants but not +quartz. -x11 is not always the same as +quartz.

Ah, I hadn't considered this subtlety! Now doing the following, and will post the results:

forth:Development williamg$ sudo port install inkscape-devel +quartz -x11
--->  Computing dependencies for inkscape-devel
--->  Fetching distfiles for inkscape-devel
--->  Fetching source from bzr repository: this may take a while

(it is taking a while!)

Yes, the fetch from the bzr repository takes some time. My build was successful and runs without X11 as expected. Let me know how things go with you. Here is a list of the dependencies that need to be built +quartz:

cairo                          @1.12.16_2+quartz 
cairomm                        @1.10.0_3+quartz 
gtk2                           @2.24.23_0+quartz 
gtkmm                          @2.24.4_1+quartz 
gtkspell2                      @2.0.16_5+quartz 
inkscape-devel                 @0.48.99.13294_0+python27+quartz 
pango                          @1.36.3_0+quartz 
pangomm                        @2.34.0_2+quartz 

I also note that I ran into a problem building gtkspell2 which is reported in #42744 and committed a fix. So if you see this as well just update your ports and that should fix the problem

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade gtk-doc
sudo port clean gtkspell2
sudo port install gtkspell2 +quartz -x11
sudo port install inkscape-devel +quartz -x11

Any luck?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

No further response so will assume the reporter's build issues have been resolved.

I also have this problem on High Sierra with MacPorts 2.5.2.
