-----------------------------
If you have checked this out from Subversion, you need to have:
-* automake >= 1.5
+* automake >= 1.8
* autoconf >= 2.59c
* gettext >= 0.12
Then type "./autogen.sh" to build the needed configuration
------------
First of all, you will also need a recent C++ compiler, where recent
-means that the compilers are close to C++ standard conforming (gcc 3.x).
+means that the compilers are close to C++ standard conforming (gcc 4.x).
LyX 1.6.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 version of LyX.
-LyX has been tested with Qt 4.2/3/4.x. For compilation you need to compile
-against at least Qt 4.2.2. The only special point to make is that you must
-ensure that both LyX and the Qt libraries are compiled with the same C++
-compiler.

Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
latex-xft-fonts package (at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/) to get
want to use. The default value is qt4, which is the only available
frontend for now.
