Building from Source

The dvisvgm sources should smoothly compile with g++. Probably other C++ compilers work as well but have not been tested yet. Additionally to the above sources you need recent versions of the following free libraries:
  • FreeType library
    This great font library is used to extract the glyph outlines from PFB files.
  • kpathsea library
    To quickly find files in the usually large texmf tree this library is used. Most TeX distributions include the necessary files or provide an appropriate interface.
  • potrace library
    The font embedding module uses Peter Selinger's potrace library to vectorize Metafont's bitmap output if corresponding Type 1 fonts cannot be found.
  • zlib
    Compressed SVG files are created by zlib and slightly modified versions of the Gzstream wrapper classes which are included in the source tarball.
For further information see the README and INSTALL files coming with the sources.
