to compile LyX are gcc 2.8.1 and 2.95.x, the various versions of egcs

+compilers. It is probably _not_ possible to compile LyX with gcc
+2.7.x, but this may change in the future.
-If you compile LyX with gcc, you should not need to have libg++ installed
-on most systems. However, see the note in the section `Problems'.
+Note that, contrary to LyX 1.0.x, LyX 1.1.x makes great use of C++
+Standard Template Library (STL); this means that gcc users will have
+to install the relevant libstdc++ library to be able to compile this

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
o --with-extra-prefix[=DIRECTORY] that is equivalent to
--with-extra-lib=DIRECTORY/lib --with-extra-inc=DIRECTORY/include
- If DIRECTORY is not specified, the current prefix is used.

+ o --with-lyxname=STRING sets the name of the installed LyX binary and
+ of the LyX library directory to STRING. This may be used to
+ compile lyx as lyx-1.1 and avoid clashes with earlier/later
+ versions. Default is "lyx".
o --with-two-colors=[yes|no] that forces LyX to use two colors pixmaps
(bitmaps) instead of the full-colored standard ones. Defaults to no.

/usr/local]
- o --program-suffix=STRING sets the name of the installed LyX binary and
- of the LyX library directory to lyxSTRING. This may be used to
- compile lyx as lyx-1.0.0 and avoid clashes with earlier/later versions.

o --datadir=DIRECTORY gives the directory where all extra LyX
files (lyxrc example, documentation, templates and layouts
definitions) will be installed.
In particular, the following options could be useful in some
desperate cases:
- o --with-debug that specifies whether you want to have debug information
- by default on standard error. Default is no.
-
o --with-warnings that make the compiler output more warnings during
the compilation of LyX. Opposite is --without-warnings. By default,
this flag is on for development versions only.
+ o --enable-assertions that make the compilier generater run-time
+ code which checks that some variables have sane values. Opposite
+ is --disable-assertions. By default, this flag is on for

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

changes are needed to compile with aCC on HP-UX 10.20. These are the

- o There is a bug in gcc 2.7.[012] in the handling of const which can
- cause various unpredictable problems. If you experience weird
- crashes with a LyX compiled by gcc 2.7.[012], try to configure
