-We try to keep the Wiki pages on compiling inkscape up-to-date and
-comprehensive. It is here:

-For a brief overlook:
-We suggest to use macports (http://macports.org) in order to achieve all
-the necessary components and libraries. Than there is a mighty tool called
-"osx-build.sh" in the packaging/macosx directory of the unpacked tarball.
