This means that gcc users will have to install the relevant libstdc++
library to be able to compile this version of LyX.
-LyX has been tested with all Qt versions since Qt 4.4.0. For compilation
-you need to compile against at least Qt 4.4.0. The only special point to
-make is that you must ensure that both LyX and the Qt libraries are
-compiled with the same C++ compiler.
+For full LyX usability we suggest to use at least Qt 4.6 which has been
+widely tested. For compilation you need to compile against at least
+Qt 4.2.2. The only special point to make is that you must ensure that both
+LyX and the Qt libraries are compiled with the same C++ compiler.
Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
latex-xft-fonts package (at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/) to get
If, however, your version of Qt does not use fontconfig, then TeX
fonts should be added to the font path. 'man xset' is your friend.
+To build LyX with spell checking capabilities included you have to
+install at least one of the development packages of the spell checker
+libraries. See the RELEASE-NOTES for details.
