--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:
are needed for compilation). A 'make symlinks' in linux kernel
sources fixes that.
+ o if you get an error message when compiling LyX that looks like this :
+
+ ../../src/minibuffer.h:17: using directive `Object' introduced
+ ambiguous type `_ObjectRec *'
+
+ 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 will get tons of warnings like:
+ 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
o It is possible to compile lyx with Tru64 Unix cxx compiler
version 6.2, provided one uses
- CXX=cxx
- CXXFLAGS='-ptr /tmp/lyx_cxx_repository -std strict_ansi -g -O'
+ 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
