LyX contains a hack to work around this, but you should not rely too
much on it.

+In particular, the following options could be useful in some desperate
+cases:
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
- (see the section `Problems').

Compiling and installing LyX
----------------------------
o On solaris 2.6, you may have to compile with --with-included-string
if compiling with gcc 2.95.2.
- 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.
-
o LyX can be compiled on Tru64 Unix with either GNU's gcc or the default
Compaq cxx compiler.
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. See Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org> for the
- patch.
