Inkscape gtkmm30 installation failure

[nitin]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to install Inkscape on a headless FreeBSD12.1 machine.

But it fails for the installation of the dependency, gtkmm30, with the following error:

pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtkmm30/work/stage/usr/local/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm/plug.h:No such file or directory
pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtkmm30/work/stage/usr/local/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm/private/plug_p.h:No such file or directory

*** Error code 1

make: stopped in /usr/ports/graphics/inkscape

Any ideas how to get around this?

Thanks in advance.

A workaround could be to install the dependency as a package.. pkg install gtkmm30.

Thanks, I managed to do that but Inkscape failed down the road again

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
===> Compilation failed unexpectedly.
Try to set MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes and rebuild before reporting the failure to
the maintainer.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/graphics/inkscape
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/graphics/inkscape

So tried:

pkg install inkscape

which has worked... can't hep it... only option left I guess... although I prefer to compile always.

Just an update. Inkscape ain't working... crashing on command line. So uninstalled it. Thanks all.
