If you make modifications to files in src/ (for example by applying a
patch), you will need to have the GNU gettext package installed, due
to some dependencies in the makefiles. You can find the latest version
from:

There are also flags to control the internationalization support in

+In particular, the following options could be useful in some desperate

o --enable-warnings that make the compiler output more warnings during
the compilation of LyX. Opposite is --disable-warnings. By default,
is --disable-assertions. By default, this flag is on for
development versions only.
- o --with-broken-headers that provides prototypes to replace functions
- not correctly defined in SunOS4 and SCO header files. Its only effect is
- to suppress a few warnings. It is autodetected by default.
-
o --without-latex-config that disables the automatic detection of your
latex configuration. This detection is automatically disabled if
latex cannot be found. If you find that you have to use this
flag, please report it as a bug.
- o --without-liberty suppresses the detection of the -liberty library

Compiling and installing LyX
----------------------------
then you need to upgrade the version of the xforms library you have
installed.
- o It is possible to compile lyx with Tru64 Unix cxx compiler
- version 6.2, provided one uses
+ o On solaris 2.6, you may have to compile with --with-included-string

+
+ 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:

- 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.
-
- Or rather, it may well work if you are using automake 1.5 and autoconf 2.5
- or greater, but you'll have to patch automake's depcomp first. (Depcomp
- is a little shell script to automagically work out file dependencies
- and it's broken for automake 1.5 and Tru64 :-(). The patch is to be found
- in config/depcomp.diff.

- o On Tru64 Unix, you may have to compile with
- --with-included-string to work around a Tru64 linker limitation

- Using Tru64 Unix 4.0e, the std::string is fine.

-
- 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 On Tru64 Unix 4.0e, the STL library routine std::count is broken
- (/usr/include/cxx/algorithm.cc, line 289 on my machine).
- It calculates "n" but does not return it! The fix is to add "return n;" to
- the end of the (4-line long) routine.

-
- o On Tru64 Unix 4.0e, compilation of support/lyxsum.C dies horribly. The
- work-around is to use the old version, 1.18, of this routine. Ask
- Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org> for details.

- 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.

- o According to David Sundqvist <David_Sundqvist@vd.volvo.se>, some
- changes are needed to compile with aCC on HP-UX 10.20. These are the
- relevant changes in the makefile (with comments tagged on):
-
- CXX = /opt/aCC/bin/aCC
- CXXFLAGS = -O +inst_none # The aCC compiler tries to run instantiations
- # which currently break.
-
- LIBS = -lforms -lXpm -lSM -lICE -lc -lm -lX11 -lCsup # must link with Csup
- LDFLAGS = -L/opt/aCC/lib # perhaps not needed.
-
-
+ 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.
