* build-type=profiling implies -fno-omit-frame-pointer in gcc. This allows sysprof to yield proper call trees
* remove --enable-grpof option (the build type is enough)
* remove --with-frontend option since we have only one frontend. Move stuff around and generally simplify the Qt detection code
* do not check for bc anymore.
* Update README.

For full LyX usability we suggest to use at least Qt 4.8 which has been
widely tested. For compilation you need to compile against at least
concept-checks X X
warnings X X
debug X X X X
- gprof X
The defaults are as follows in terms of version number
release: stable release (1.x.y)
prerelease: version number contains alpha, beta, rc or pre.
development: version number contains dev.
+ The `profiling' build type uses the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option with gcc
+
+ The `gprof' build type compiles and links with -pg option with gcc.

o --with-extra-lib=DIRECTORY that specifies the path where LyX will
find extra libraries (qt4) it needs. Defaults to NONE
(i.e. search in standard places). You can specify several
o --with-included-gettext forces the use of the included GNU gettext
library, although you might have another one installed.
- o --with-catgets allows to use the catget() functions which can
- exist on your system. This can cause problems, though. Use with
- care.
-
o You can also set the environment variable LINGUAS to a list of
languages in case you do not want to install all the translation
files. For example, if you are only interested in German and
If you encounter problems, please read the section 'Problems' at the end of

+ higher level than the default, for example --enable-optimization=-O3.
o --disable-optimization - you can use this to disable compiler
optimization of LyX. The compile may be much quicker with some
compilers, but LyX will run more slowly.
o --enable-debug will add debug information to your binary. This
- requires a lot more disk space, but is a must if you want to try to

- frontend for now.

o --enable-monolithic-build[=boost,client,insets,mathed,core,tex2lyx,frontend-qt4]
