New to Synfig

[Kizeira]

Hi there,

I animate in my spare time as a hobby, and have made a few stupid cartoons with Creatoon. I recently got my hands on Anime Studio 5 (not pro) and it seems okay, but there seem to be some issues and things I’m still trying to work out.

I’m very curious in Synfig, but… help? I’m on Mac OS X and I can find NOTHING that tells me what I have to do to install it. I realize that it’s going to be complicated, but please, can someone walk me though the process? I can’t seem to find a thing.

Thanks.

There are some threads about try to restore the install instructions and discuss the problems under OS X:

Problems with jhbuild on OS X...

Hi, I am having an issue with my Macintosh using jhbuild. Every time that I try the “jhbuild bootstrap” command, jhbuild comes up as no such file or directory. I would really like to build Synfig on my G4, but I am having a hard time compiling it. Any assistance is most duly appreciated. Thank you.

Building on OS X

Hi I am trying to build on OS X and haven’t yet had any success. I will post the details when I get a chance but I just wanted to start a thread to invite other people who are also building on OS X to post their errors and problems/solutions. Anyone else building on os x?

Maybe you can contribute testing the build instructions in your machine.
Good luck and welcome.
