Problems
--------
This section provides several hints that have been submitted by LyX
team members or users to help compiling on some particular
architectures. If you find that some of these hints are wrong, please
notify us.
o On SUN Sparc Solaris, you need gnumake. The LyX makefiles do not
work with Solaris make.
The Solaris 8 ar seg-faults trying to build the insets library. You
will need to use the ar from the GNU binutils for this subdirectory.
There is no problem with the Solaris 9 and 10 ar.
Qt4 uses the Xrender X11 extension for antialiased fonts. This
extension was added to Xsun starting from the Solaris 10 8/07
release, but it is not activated by default. To activate it, you
must issue (as root) the following command:
svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server setprop options/server_args=+xrender
and then restart the X server.
There is a problem with the fontconfig library shipped with
Solaris 10 8/07 causing a seg-fault when it is used by Qt4.
Until this is fixed, a workaround is replacing the shared library
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 with a copy from a previous release or
installing a new version of fontconfig from http://www.sunfreeware.com/
On Solaris, the default fontconfig configuration gives preference
to bitmap fonts at (not so small) sizes. As bitmapped fonts are not
antialiased, you may prefer changing this configuration. This may be
done by adding the following stanza
<match target="pattern">
<edit name="prefer_bitmap">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
to either ~/.fonts.conf (for a per-user change) or /etc/fonts/local.conf
(for a global system change). The stanza should be added between the
<fontconfig> and </fontconfig> tags. If neither ~/.fonts.conf nor
/etc/fonts/local.conf exists, you can create them with the following
content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="pattern">
<edit name="prefer_bitmap">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
