Hi.
If you are a Inkscape user and you are using it for press work, maybe you work with the great PDFCMYK extension, but if you use it with the Uniconvertor version that comes with Ubuntu (1.1.4) you probably have found that it doesn't works.
Here is a small guide to compile the last version (1.1.5) that includes a nice standalone gui, and that work with the PDFCMYK extension flawesly:
1. Uninstall any previous version of Uniconvertor from your system.
2. Install the required dependencies for the compilation. Open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-all-dev liblcms1-dev libjpeg62-dev libpaps-dev
3. Download the uniconvertor sources from here (http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor&op=download).
4. You must get 3 files:
uniconvertor-1.1.5.tar.gz (the program itself)
uniconvw-1.1.5.tar.gz (the gui)
sk1libs-0.9.1.tar.gz (the libs)
5. Extract the files with right click "extract here".
6. With a terminal, navigate to the folders. If you extracted them in your Downloads folder it must me something like:
cd Downloads/sk1libs-0.9.1
7. Type:
python setup.py bdist_deb
8. Repeat 6 and 8 for the other folders (uniconvertor-1.1.5, uniconvw-1.1.5)
9. If all goes well, you must have a new folder called "Dist", and inside a precious .DEB that you can install with Gdebi (
sudo apt get install gdebi)
10. Install the 3 debs, first sk1libs, then uniconvertor, and finally uniconvw.
11. Enjoy!
