--with-extra-lib=DIRECTORY/lib --with-extra-inc=DIRECTORY/include
If DIRECTORY is not specified, the current prefix is used.
- o --with-lyx-version will install LyX as lyx-<version>, e.g. lyx-1.1.6
- The LyX data directory will be something like <whatever>/lyx-1.1.6/.
+ 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-1.1.6
+ $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-lyx-version=latestcvs
+ 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).
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'
