--with-extra-lib=DIRECTORY/lib --with-extra-inc=DIRECTORY/include
If DIRECTORY is not specified, the current prefix is used.
- o --with-lyx-suffix=STRING adds the given suffix to the names of the
- LyX binary and scripts, and the library directory. For example,
- "--with-lyx-suffix=1.1.6" would install a binary "lyx-1.1.6", and
- create a directory "/usr/share/lyx-1.1.6", install "reLyX-1.1.6" etc.
- Additionally, LyX will look for the user configuration file in e.g.
- "$HOME/.lyx-1.1.6". This feature is useful for installing more than
- one version of LyX on the same machine.
-
+ o --with-version-suffix will install LyX as lyx-<version>, e.g. lyx-1.2.0
+ The LyX data directory will be something like <whatever>/lyx-1.2.0/.
+ Additionally your user configuration files will be found in e.g.
+ $HOME/.lyx-1.2.0
+
+ You can use this feature to install more than one version of LyX on
+ the same system. You can optionally specify a "version" of your own,
+ by doing something like : ./configure --with-version-suffix=-latestcvs
+
There are also flags to control the internationalization support in
LyX:
o Configure will seemingly fail to find xpm.h and forms.h on linux
if the kernel headers are not available. Two cases are possible:
- - you have not installed the kernel sources. The you should
+ - you have not installed the kernel sources. Then you should
install them or at least the kernel-headers package (or
whatever it is called in your distribution).
then you need to upgrade the version of the xforms library you have
installed.
- o If you have GNU gettext installed on your system (e.g. on linux),
- you will get tons of warnings like:
+ o If you are using RedHat 7.0 and the option --with-frontend=kde, you
+ will need to configure LyX as follows :
- bullet_forms.C:101: warning: passing `char *' to argument 1 of
- `__builtin_constant_p(int)' lacks a cast
+ export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-1.45
+ export CC="egcs -L/usr/lib"
+ export CXX="egcs++ -L/usr/lib"
+ ./configure --with-frontend=kde
- 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.
+ If you your version of gcc-c++ is > 2.96-69, you may not need to do
+ this.
o It is possible to compile lyx with Tru64 Unix cxx compiler
version 6.2, provided one uses
