Now, as the root user:
make install
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor hierarchy and desktop
files into the /usr/share/applications hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.33 or
GTK+-3.24.30 installed (for the icon cache)
and desktop-file-utils-0.26 (for
the desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the
root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor && update-desktop-database -q
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release:
This switch is used to build the release library without any debug
`assert` in the code.
-DWITH_DBUS=ON: use this if you wish to
use inkscape in
interactive scripts which manipulate images.
