FYI - Inkscape-1.0.2 does not compile on -current due to Glib2-2.68 change
by EdGr from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GKV7)
I found the following bug reports:
Inkscape: Fail to build against glib:2.68.0
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2289
gmacros: Guard C++ code with extern "C++"
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/..._requests/1935
The summary is that any program that includes the glib headers in an extern "C" block needs to be fixed not to do that. Such programs fail to compile with glib2-2.68, but binaries compiled with an older glib2 still run.
Inkscape fixed the problem in its master branch. That compiles and runs.
This is not a Slackware problem, just a FYI.
