There’s a whole macports community there and I would imagine one could get some help along the way. Then, install macports, and try to make the port. To begin with, you have to understand how to use and get around in Terminal and that’s a whole project in itself. Then there’s a whole separate process to make a dmg (disk image) which then could be shared by others. The link for Macports is simply’ ‘ and everything that is needed to get started, can be found there.Īt there actually are existing projects for Inkscape 0.48, 0.91, and 0.92pre-4, but they are only in the ’source’ format, so each user would have to build the application for their own system using Macports. Perhaps it can help and if/when you find '.inkscape' you could get it started.? It finds anything, even hidden files and shows you it's path. With terminal and down in X11 (XQuartz) many of files are hidden (start with a period) and won't be seen in the Finder.ĭo you have 'Easy Find' ?, a free, really nice search App for Mac's.

Ideally, I would think that just typing 'inkscape' and on the command line in Terminal would get it started.Īlthough, you will probably get a 'command not found' error, which means you will have to find out the exact path to where it is and do a cd to that location and then try 'inkscape' there.ĮDIT actually, using 'port inkscape' may be the possible command if macports is installed correctly. I still use 0.91 on El Capitan (10.11.6) but usually, sooner or later, someone does a Mac compile and we Mac users will get to enjoy 0.92, hopefully. I'll be watching this thread closely for any responses as I may give macports and inkscape a try very soon.
