Xlibe: an Xlib/X11 compatibility layer for Haiku

Inkscape builds and starts:

However it has some problems as you can see:

  • No icons. This seems to be because GTK fails to load SVG icons. This should work when librsvg is installed, but for some reason it isn’t. I opened a ticket at HaikuPorts about that, maybe @3dEyes can look into it.
  • The background is a strange gray color. Not sure why.
  • The mouse sometimes behaves erratically, you have to restart the application a few times for it to work. (Though maybe this one was a fluke, I only saw it the first startup or two…?)

Additionally there are some Cairo and environment hacks I had to do to get it to start. I’ll try to fix the Cairo problems if I can, but the rest I’ll leave to the HaikuPorts team in general to tackle, and otherwise get back to Haiku itself, now that this quest is coming to a major milestone. :slight_smile:
