Hi there,

i'm a coder from germany and we're developing an application to generate SVG for using it on cnc machine tools.

My shell script It is working perfectly when calling inkscape from the command line with GUI:



But if i run this with the -z / --without-gui option, nothing happens.

This app should run on an server, so i don't want to operate with the GUI, also there will be traffic on, so i'll think it will run into performance problems.

Any ideas how i could get this to work without using the GUI ?

thanks in advance!

Stefan

Hi.

In the Manual, it is mentioned that the command line functions work without the GUI, with the exception of the --verb function....

I do not know why, though.

Thank you for the reply!

i didn't saw this in the manual.... Some verbs are running, found some entries on the launchpad bug page, but not the things i need.. May i try it by running X on the server or download the files with a shell script, run the commands and upload it since the verbs are working without any GUI.

cheers,
stefan

I stumbled over this post, which basically suggests that there is an option one can compile inkscape with, that makes it a console-only program (its the last post on the page).

oh ok, i'll try that tomorrow and will post the results here.
