#17 Native Inkscape.app

[James David Low]

Hi,

I recently donated to support your great work on Gimp.app

I really like that you have been working on a Native version that no longer requires X11.

There has been a .app version of Inkscape for a long time, but it also requires X11. They do have instructions for compiling against non-X11 versions of libraries, but this requires mac ports to be avaliable and doesn't produce a stand alone, easily distributable .app

It would be great if you could combine your expertise at getting GTK+ based applications working on OSX with Inkscape to produce a non-X11 .app for Inkscape, and I'm sure it would encourage more donations and support for your work.

Here is Inkscape's instructions on complilation:
