0 pre-build

the essential tools and libs
Code:
pkcon install git autoconf automake gcc-c++ ccache libtool libtool-ltdl-devel gettext-devel libxml++-devel gtkmm24-devel

optional packs for rendering targets with rpmfusion enabled
Code:
pkcon install ImageMagick-devel ffmpeg



1 clone the source

Code:
mkdir ~/Source && cd ~/Source/ &&  git clone git://synfig.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/synfig/synfig


2 build

download the build script from http://synfig.org/wiki/Dev:Build_Instru ... ild_script and modify it if needed (I changed install path to "~/Apps/Synfig/"), save as synfig-build.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
CPUS=1
prefix=~/Apps/Synfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$prefix/lib/pkgconfig"
export PATH=$(pwd)/synfig-core/src/tool/.libs:$PATH
export CXX="/usr/bin/ccache /usr/bin/g++"

cd synfig/ETL &&
autoreconf --install --force  &&
./configure --prefix $prefix &&
make --debug=b install  &&
               \
cd ../synfig-core     &&
libtoolize --copy --force  &&
autoreconf --install --force  &&
./configure --prefix $prefix --enable-optimization=0 --enable-debug   &&
make --debug=b -j $CPUS install     &&
                                  \
cd ../synfig-studio  &&
autoreconf --install --force   &&
./configure --prefix $prefix --enable-optimization=0 --enable-debug   &&
make --debug=b -j $CPUS install


and then start to build
Code:
sh synfig-build.sh


3 test your build
Code:
~/Apps/Synfig/bin/synfigstudio


4 to get updated with the latest changes
moving code base you regularly do
Code:
cd ~/Source/synfig && git pull --rebase 

rebuild
Code:
 cd ~/Soruce/ && sh synfig-build.sh

Very straightforward! I'll make this post sticky.
Thanks jcome!

I just tried this on a Fedora 17 Virtual Machine and it works perfectly. The only thing I found is you have to install Synfig from a binary (RPM) first because otherwise the install fails at the end when it tries to use synfig to create the Synfig icon as it doesn't try to use the synfig you just compiled to do this.

Many thanks for these instructions - I found them really, really helpful. It would have taken me weeks to work out how to compile Synfig without them!

It means that something went wrong in the build process because the build script should add to your PATH the location of the just build synfig CLI (that is used to render the icons at synfigstudio build phase)
