Hello, 2) > but it does have build_images step mentioned: `cmake --build . -- build_images` When I was building synfig the last time, I just skimmed the build instructions, esp. the listing in section "Building". I did not run the commands from that listing verbatim one by one, for several reasons: I did not want any RelWithDebInfo build, I needed to add -std=c++11 to the CXXFLAGS, ... This way I missed the line with the build_images target. Should have read the listing more carefully -- my bad, sorry :) I built synfig once more using the cmake build tooling. This time it worked out fine, target build_images provided all necessary .png images (and images were not mostly transparent pixels only as with the autotools build).
3) > The algorithm there is pretty much "take all .sif and render them to .png". Do you use cmake's file GLOB for that? I would suggest to list all .sif files that need to be processed separately, it's basically one `ls -1 *.sif` plus copy-and-paste form terminal to editor. E.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32411963/why-is-cmake-file-glob-evil 4) I would guess that it's a more general linux/unix library handling issue which should be addressed if we consider ETL a library independent from synfig and possibly used also by other projects that might use autotools or even another build system. It *might* even be an issue that would need to get addressed in the cmake tooling itself rather than in the build configuration of synfig -- I don't know too much how this is done with cmake and what specific mechanisms autotools uses here ... :( 7) The line $ cmake -GNinja ../src -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fdiagnostics-color" for building synfig-studio should be $ cmake -GNinja .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fdiagnostics-color" (as far as I understand), build_images target in unknown otherwise. 8) One more workaround I did when building and installing synfig the last time (which I forgot to mention earlier): I copied synfig/color/color.hpp to /usr/local/include/synfig/color/color.hpp because the file was included and not found from synfig-studio. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly whether I did this for the cmake or for the autotools build, but I guess it was with the cmake build. color.hpp was the only file I needed to copy.
