If you are using the released versions instead of SVN, the first 3 steps for each component are not necessary. For released versions, "./configure && make && sudo make install" should be enough.
+
See https://synfig-docs-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/common/building.html
 
+
If you are using packages for synfig's dependencies, you want the '''development packages''' not the main packages. Check below for your distribution's packages.
+
 
+
Please read the [http://www.synfig.com/download/ download page] and the [[FAQ]] to find out about any issues that you may run into along the way.
+
 
+
There is a complete copy of the subversion repository (as a [http://git.or.cz/ git] mirror) available for viewing in a web browser at [http://snipr.com/synfigit http://snipr.com/synfigit].

== System-Specific ==
+
 
+
The later sections of this page can be used for any system, but the following links and wiki pages offer some system-specific help:
+
 
+
* Unix (Linux/MacOS X/BSD)
+
** General
+
*** Some distros have a pkg-config that doesn't look in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig by default. So if you are installing in anywhere other than the system pkg-config path, please run "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" or similar before building or installing anything.
+
*** Don't use automake 1.4, there are problems with it.
+
*** Using automake 1.9, 'make install' seems to re-link and re-install all the synfig core modules every time whether they have changed or not.  [http://dooglus.rincevent.net/synfig/automake.html here] is an ugly workaround - it's only worth using if you intend to rebuild synfig repeatedly
+
*** The instructions below result in 3 separate subversion working directories being created.  This is inconvenient to work with - you'll need to 'svn commit' in 3 different places to send changes, 'svn update' in 3 different places to get the latest updates, etc.  [[Subversion|This page]] shows how to arrange for the code to be checked out into a single working directory.
+
** Gentoo: SVN [[Gentoo Ebuilds|ebuilds]] are available
+
** MacOS X: [[Building_On_Mac_OS_X|instructions for building]] with the GTK+ Aqua port are available.
+
* Windows: [[Windows build instructions|instructions for building]] in [[Mingw_installation|mingw]] are available.
+
 
+
= ETL =
+
 
+
ETL is a template library, there is nothing to build really, it just needed to be installed.
+
 
+
Requires: autoconf automake<br>
+
* Debian: build-essential autoconf automake1.9
+
 
+
# svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/ETL/trunk/ etl
+
# cd etl
+
# ./bootstrap
+
# ./configure
+
# sudo make install
+
# cd ..
+
 
+
= synfig =
+
 
+
Requires: ETL, libxml++, libsigc++, libltdl, libtool<br>
+
* Debian: etl-dev libxml++2.6-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libltdl3-dev libtool
+
* Gentoo: virtual/ETL dev-cpp/libxmlpp dev-libs/libsigc++
+
 
+
Note: libpng isn't required to build synfig, but if you build synfig without PNG support and go on to build synfigstudio, that step will fail (because the build process for synfigstudio uses synfig to create .png icon files).  The package is  libpng12-dev on Debian or media-libs/libpng on Gentoo.
+
 
+
Optional: libpng, libtiff, libjpeg, libfreetype, libfontconfig, libopenexr, libavcodec, vimage (MacOS only, proprietary)<br>
+
* Debian: libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libjpeg62-dev libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev libopenexr-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev
+
** if using debian-multimedia.org debs swap the libav packages with the virtual packages libavformatcvs-dev libavcodeccvs-dev libavutilcvs-dev from debian-multimedia
+
* Gentoo: sys-devel/libtool media-libs/libpng media-libs/tiff media-libs/jpeg media-libs/freetype media-libs/fontconfig media-libs/openexr media-libs/libavcodec
+
Runtime: encodedv (from libdv), ffmpeg, convert (from imagemagick)
+
* Debian: libdv-bin ffmpeg imagemagick
+
* Gentoo: media-libs/libdv media-video/ffmpeg media-gfx/imagemagick
+
 
+
# svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/synfig-core/trunk/ synfig-core
+
# cd synfig-core
+
# ./bootstrap
+
# ./configure
+
# make
+
# sudo make install
+
# cd ..
+
 
+
Notes:
+
 
+
* Don't use --enable-half, it is slow.

+
 
+
Requires: ETL, synfig, gtkmm >= 2.4, gtk >= 2.0, glibmm, libsigc++, libltdl, libtool<br>

* Debian: etl-dev libsynfig-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libltdl3-dev libtool
+
* Gentoo: virtual/ETL virtual/synfig dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.4 dev-libs/libsigc++ sys-devel/libtool
+
Optional: fonts (for the images), [http://www.fmod.org FMOD] (proprietary)
+
* Debian: ttf-freefont ttf-dejavu ttf-dustin
+
* Gentoo: freefonts dejavu

(This step isn't required to run synfig or synfigstudio, and the documents it gets you are really quite out of date)
+
 
+
This is basically a copy of what is on this wiki.
+
 
+
Requires: sgml processor, ldp docbook stylesheets, db2ps, db2pdf
+
* Debian: openjade ldp-docbook-dsssl docbook-utils
