In addition, you must have libXpm version 4.7 (or newer; 4.8 rumoured
to work).
+You will also probably need GNU m4 (perhaps installed as gm4).
+
libXpm can be found at:
http://www.funet.fi/pub/Linux/sunsite/X11/libs/!INDEX.html
(or similar locations at other sunsites like sunsite.unc.edu)
--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.
-
+ 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:
in some private place and running it. In particular, check the
output of `ldd lyx' to know which libraries are really needed.
- o Upload your binary file to ftp.lyx.org:/pub/lyx/uploads.
+ o Upload your binary file to ftp.devel.lyx.org:/pub/incoming, and
+ notify larsbj@lyx.org.
Problems
the xforms or Xpm library, use the --with-extra-lib and --with-extra-inc
options of configure to specify where these libraries reside.
- o Configure will seemingly fail to find xpm.h and forms.h on linux if
- you did a 'make mrproper' in the kernel directory, because this
- removes some symbolic links that are needed for compilation. A 'make
- symlinks' in linux kernel sources fixes that.
+ 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. Then you should
+ install them or at least the kernel-headers package (or
+ whatever it is called in your distribution).
- o If you have GNU gettext installed on your system (e.g. on linux),
- you will get tons of warnings like:
+ - you have the sources, but you did a 'make mrproper' in the
+ kernel directory (this this removes some symbolic links that
+ are needed for compilation). A 'make symlinks' in linux kernel
+ sources fixes that.
- bullet_forms.C:101: warning: passing `char *' to argument 1 of
- `__builtin_constant_p(int)' lacks a cast
+ o if you are using RedHat Linux 7.x, you must make sure you have the
+ latest updated gcc and related packages installed (at least -85),
+ or LyX will not compile or will be mis-compiled.
+
+ o if you get an error message when compiling LyX that looks like this :
- 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.
+ ../../src/minibuffer.h:17: using directive `Object' introduced
+ ambiguous type `_ObjectRec *'
- o It is possible to compile lyx with Digital Unix cxx compiler
- version 6.1 (and presumably compaq C++ 6.2 on both Tru64 unix and
- linux/alpha, when this will be available), provided one uses
- CXX=cxx
- CXXFLAGS='-ptr /tmp/lyx_cxx_repository -std strict_ansi -g -O'
+ then you need to upgrade the version of the xforms library you have
+ installed.
+
+ o It is possible to compile lyx with Tru64 Unix cxx compiler
+ version 6.2, provided one uses
+ CXX='cxx -std strict_ansi'
+ CXXFLAGS='-ptr /tmp/lyx_cxx_repository -g'
+ CC=cc
Note that this will not work when compiling directly from the cvs
repository, due to the tricks used by automake for dependencies. Ask
Jean-Marc.Lasgouttes@inria.fr for a workaround.
- o On Digital Unix with cxx, you may have a compilation error in
+ o On Tru64 Unix, you may have to compile with
+ --with-included-string to work around a Tru64 linker limitation
+ (the STL string template creates names which may be too long). We
+ also had reports that it helps with gcc 2.95.2 on solaris 2.6.
+
+ o On Tru64 Unix with cxx, you may have a compilation error in
lyx_main.C if you have GNU gettext installed. This is due to a bug
in gettext. To solve this, you can either (1) configure with
--with-included-gettext or (2) add -D__STDC__ to cxx flags.
- o The configure script seems to hang while it is checking the LaTeX setup.
- We think that this is not a real problem, but rather a symptom of the
- fact that the ec-fonts are being rendered. This process can take quite
- some time, so the remedy is simply to have patience. (The fonts need to
- be rendered at some point to be usable anyways.)
-
o According to John Collins <collins@phys.psu.edu>, on SunOS 4.1.3 you may
find two sets of X libraries, and they are of course incompatible :-)
One is the set provided as part of OpenWindows, and one is the standard
projects / lyx.git / blobdiff
