You will also need a recent C++ compiler, where recent means that the
-compilers are close to C++ standard conforming. Compilers that are known
-to compile LyX are gcc 2.8.1 and 2.95.x, the various versions of egcs
-and Digital C++ version 6.1. Please tell us your experience with other
-compilers. It is _not_ possible to compile LyX with gcc
-2.7.x, and this is not likely to change in the future.
