- o LyX can be compiled on Tru64 Unix with either GNU's gcc or the default
- Compaq cxx compiler.
-
- There are no Alpha-specific problems with gcc.
-
- The following notes all refer to compilation with the Compaq cxx compiler.
-
- LyX cannot be compiled on Tru64 Unix 4.0d or 4.0e with the default cxx
- compiler. You should upgrade to at least cxx V6.2, to be found at
- ftp::/ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/C-CXX/tru64/cxx/CXX622V40.tar. Users
- running Tru64 Unix 4.0f and greater should have no real problems compiling
- LyX.
-
- cxx V6.2 will compile LyX out of the box.
- cxx V6.3-020 is also known to work, although there is a bug in
- /usr/include/cxx/deque that will break compilation in FormPreferences.C.
- Compaq are investigating, but a patch that works /now/ is:

- At the time of writing, cxx V6.5-026 is the latest cxx compiler. It is
- /not/ recommended. The compiler itself appears to be both buggy and
- extremely bloated (trebling the size of the stripped LyX binary).
-
- In order to compile LyX with the cxx compiler, you should run configure
- with the following flags:
- CXX='cxx -std strict_ansi'
- CXXFLAGS='-nopure_cname -nocleanup -ptr /tmp/lyx_cxx_repository -O2'
- CC='cc -std1'
- The -nopure_cname flag is needed for compilers V6.3 and above because
- LyX makes use of functions like popen, pclose that are defined in the
- c version of <stdio.h> but are not formally part of any c/c++ standard.
- They are not, therefore, included in the <cstdio> header file.
