- These are in harmless warnings caused by a bug in libintl.h, but
- will be solved if you use --with-included-gettext when configuring
- LyX.
-
- o It is possible to compile lyx with Digital Unix cxx compiler
- version 6.1 (and presumably compaq C++ 6.2 on both Tru64 unix and
- linux/alpha, when this will be available), provided one uses
- CXX=cxx
- CXXFLAGS='-ptr /tmp/lyx_cxx_repository -std strict_ansi -g -O'
-
- Note that this will not work when compiling directly from the cvs
- repository, due to the tricks used by automake for dependencies. Ask
- Jean-Marc.Lasgouttes@inria.fr for a workaround.
-
- o On Digital Unix with cxx, you may have a compilation error in
- lyx_main.C if you have GNU gettext installed. This is due to a bug
- in gettext. To solve this, you can either (1) configure with
- --with-included-gettext or (2) add -D__STDC__ to cxx flags.
-
- o The configure script seems to hang while it is checking the LaTeX setup.
- We think that this is not a real problem, but rather a symptom of the
- fact that the ec-fonts are being rendered. This process can take quite
- some time, so the remedy is simply to have patience. (The fonts need to
- be rendered at some point to be usable anyways.)
-
- o According to John Collins <collins@phys.psu.edu>, on SunOS 4.1.3 you may
- find two sets of X libraries, and they are of course incompatible :-)
- One is the set provided as part of OpenWindows, and one is the standard
- X distribution (e.g., X11R5). If you encounter problems (or if, for
- some obscure reasons configure cannot find your X libraries) you can
- use the following options:
-
- o --x-libraries=DIRECTORY that indicates where the X libraries reside.
-
- o --x-includes=DIRECTORY that indicate where the X include files reside.
-
- The standard X11R5 libraries should work when the OpenWindows ones
- don't.
-
- o Some systems lack functions that LyX needs. To fix this, configure
- tries to link against the -liberty library, if it is available.
- If you experience problems with missing symbols at link time, you
- could try to install libiberty.a, which comes with several GNU
- packages (in particular libg++). In any case, please report your
- problems to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
