- o If you are using RedHat 7.0 and the option --with-frontend=kde, you
- will need to configure LyX as follows :
-
- export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-1.45
- export CC="egcs -L/usr/lib"
- export CXX="egcs++ -L/usr/lib"
- ./configure --with-frontend=kde
-
- If you your version of gcc-c++ is > 2.96-69, you may not need to do
- this.
-
- o If you have GNU gettext installed on your system (e.g. on linux),
- you may get tons of warnings like:
-
- bullet_forms.C:101: warning: passing `char *' to argument 1 of
- `__builtin_constant_p(int)' lacks a cast
-
- 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 Tru64 Unix cxx compiler
- version 6.2, provided one uses
- CXX='cxx -std strict_ansi'
- CXXFLAGS='-ptr /tmp/lyx_cxx_repository -g'
- CC=cc
-
- 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 Tru64 Unix, you may have to compile with
- --with-included-string to work around a Tru64 linker limitation
- (the STL string template creates names which may be too long). We
- also had reports that it helps with gcc 2.95.2 on solaris 2.6.
-
- o On Tru64 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 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.
-
- The option --without-liberty disable the detection of -liberty. It
- is meant for debugging purpose only.
