I know this is a very old thread and things have moved on, but I run into similar issues running Inkscape on my Mac using the recommended (as per the old download page: /en/download/mac-os/ which has now been superseded by the newer link below) instalation method: In any case, it's those Mac users who are trying to create the DMG package who deserve all the praise! Is it just that most of them want to be paid? If that's the case, maybe we should set up some kind of packaging fund, or something? What I don't understand is why there seems to be so few people who have the right skills. It was several versions ago when the project was at risk not to have a Windows version, for lack of someone who can do the packaging. It's one thing that I don't understand about programming and development. If it looks like it's going to drag on and on, I will definitely try and find out what that problem with MacPorts is (if indeed it turns out to be a single cause - that's just a guess at this point). I think it's either 2 or 3 people who have posted as having some interest. And I've been waiting to find out if a DMG installer is coming relatively sooner or later. The last time I looked, it hasn't been answered (just logged on today, haven't checked email yet). Yes, that was my post on the development mailing list. Yeah, there's some one-liner about good intentions and a cup of coffee, but I don't remember exactly how it goes. dmg install or a stable (comprehensive) working install via Macports. Happily Mac’s popularity has changed this -a bit, that & people like yourself! Please know I am grateful for your support & the Inkscape development team for helping out the Mac community of Inkscape users, whether with a. in large corporations, with large IT/IS departments, & in some startups with NO support & *generally* -as a Mac user, you tend to be hugely unsupported in either situation. Moot point, the point is that you’re (IMHO) really going out of your way to HELP… SO VERY KIND! Thank you for that, I read through many such posts, much of which I can’t pretend to comprehend but I see your name pop up, seeking help on my behalf, on the behalf of Mac users, on the behalf of a newbie… on behalf of a non Developer-Programmer-Tech person! With that I just wanted to say, THANK YOU, so very much!Īs I mentioned, I’ve been using (only) Macs for a few decades. OF course, there could be MANY (Mac) newbies that you’re attempting to help. I imagine you’re referring to me in that thread. & I came across quite a bit of info regarding Inkscape for Mac including this recent article… (attached screenshot). Hi Brynn, I have been searching, reading, watching, learning.
