Relax and take a break, as this may take some time (a few minutes at best, but it can take significantly longer if you have a slow internet connection or the server load is high).If you already have a copy of the Inkscape source it should also be included in the "buildtools" folder.) Alternatively, you can copy-paste the script into the console or download it, change to the folder containing the file and type. (The command downloads and runs the script msys2installdeps.sh. Start an MSYS2 MinGW shell (use the "MSYS2 MinGW 32/64-bit" shortcut in the start menu or launch "mingw32/64.exe" in the installation directory).Ĭhoose the shell in this step (32-bit or 64-bit) according to whether you want to build a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Inkscape later.Repeat the previous step until no new updates are found.This will start a full system upgrade and ensures that you have the latest versions of all core libraries. Start an MSYS2 MSYS shell (you can work with the one launched by the installer, use the "MSYS2 MSYS" shortcut in the start menu or launch "msys2.exe" in the installation directory).Įxecute the command pacman -Syuu.Start the installation and follow the instructions on screen. Download the installer from the MSYS2 homepage (a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later is required to run MSYS2 and build Inkscape).
To set-up MSYS2 and download the necessary dependencies only two steps are required: You can identify the different shells according to the the purple text string in the console window ( MINGW32, MINGW64 or MSYS respectively). Never use the "MSYS" shell for compiling Inkscape, only use it for updating MSYS2 itself."MinGW 64-bit" for compiling 64-bit Inkscape."MinGW 32-bit" for compiling 32-bit Inkscape.
