Building Instructions

Fedora 20

Last tested with commit 67d533db6c27c769fbe481ad2da90e84409a3e6c

Your user account will need administrator privileges for some of these steps

Some of Synfig's dependencies are in the RPM Fusion repositories. You can enable RPM Fusion by visiting http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration and following the instructions there. If you would prefer to skip this step, then omit ffmpeg from the next step.

Install the requisite dependencies. Copy and paste this (very long) line into a terminal (triple-clicking in some browsers will select the whole line):

sudo yum -y install cmake git gcc gcc-c++ wget zlib-devel ImageMagick-c++-devel ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel libdv-devel ffmpeg-libs ffmpeg-devel freetype-devel fontconfig-devel OpenEXR-devel glibmm24-devel libxml++-devel cairomm-devel pangomm-devel boost-devel libpng-devel libmng-devel poco-foundation poco-devel gtkmm24-devel

(Optional, but recommended) Get the Synfig image assets. These are part of the Synfig master branch on Github, but for convenience they can be downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cynfig/files/synfig-images-0.64.1.tar.bz2/download. Extract these files:

mkdir -p ~/devel/synfig-assets/img
cd !$
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/cynfig/files/synfig-images-0.64.1.tar.bz2/download -O synfig-images-0.64.1.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf synfig-images-0.64.1.tar.bz2

Create a directory for the project (substitute your own custom paths here if you like, but ensure that you use them consistently for the remainder of this guide):

mkdir -p ~/devel/cynfig
cd !$

Clone the sources from Github:

git clone https://github.com/0u812/cynfig.git .

Create a build directory and run CMake (note: if you skipped the image assets step, then omit the -DSYNFIG_SOURCE_IMAGES_DIR=/synfig-assets/img and add -DGENERATE_IMAGES=0 instead):

mkdir -p ~/devel/cynfig-build
cd !$
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/devel/cynfig-install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSYNFIG_SOURCE_IMAGES_DIR=~/devel/synfig-assets/img ~/devel/cynfig

At this point, CMake should have finished with no errors. If so, start the build

make -j8 install

If the build completes successfully, Synfig will be installed into ~/devel/cynfig-install

~/devel/cynfig-install/bin/synfigstudio ~/devel/synfig-assets/img/splash_screen-0.63.05.sif

Hopefully, the results should look something like this:
