Hi!

The best way to get started is to build Synfig from source.

You can check developer documentation here:

https://synfig-docs-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Also note some points:

  1. Sometimes documentation is outdated. If you experience some issues please document them, and update documentation.
  2. Synfig support Autotools and CMake build systems. For development purposes CMake is preferable. If you are familiar with Autotools, then use it.
  3. After you build Synfig from source, start with GitHub issues and try to fix some of them.
