Compiling Xara fails with errors

[Koos]

Hi,

As per advice from http://www.talkgraphics.com/showpost...35&postcount=9 I am trying to build Xara against WxWidgets 2.8.4
The build fails with the following error messages:

And a thousand more of those...
Can anyone tell me where to go from here?
FYI: I'm on SuSE 10.3

Thanks,
Koos

Those types of errors are usually because of dependencies. Have you checked the list of Prerequisites from the build instructions?

Prerequisites

I run Ubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy") which is fairly modern, but I had to download half of that list I show in my link above.

The only thing I see that you MAY also have to build is wxWidgets >= 2.6. wxWidgets can be another long list of dependencies. Fortunately, I already have wxWidgets 2.8.

The default make will give you XaraLX without a long list of import/export features, but hey, the only things I have found that I can count on is the Adobe Illustrator .ai file format (but you lose all your color, gradiants info) or the .png -- usually how I use Xara.

Xara is a package .deb in the Gutsy release of Ubuntu. I built it to make sure I got the benefit of 64-bit.

If I installed Xara from a .package, can I still install the xaralx-svg package from the repositories?

[victor_charlie]

I did install the svg module from the repositories. My distro is debian based. With the module, Xara acts like the file you are viewing does export. However, nothing I know of will open that svg file. The only vector-based file format that I've found is the Adobe .ai and I lose all color information.
