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-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).
are needed for compilation). A 'make symlinks' in linux kernel
sources fixes that.
+ 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 :
../../src/minibuffer.h:17: using directive `Object' introduced
then you need to upgrade the version of the xforms library you have
installed.
- o If you are using RedHat 7.0 and the option --with-frontend=kde, you
- will need to configure LyX as follows :
-
- export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-1.45
- export CC="egcs -L/usr/lib"
- export CXX="egcs++ -L/usr/lib"
- ./configure --with-frontend=kde
-
- 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'
