* config/lyxinclude.m4 (LYX_CHECK_VERSION): add new configure option
--enable-build-type=(rel*,pre*,dev*) that allows to override the automatic setting of optimization, debugging and others. * INSTALL: document new option and remove a lot of cruft. git-svn-id: svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk@22945 a592a061-630c-0410-9148-cb99ea01b6c8

LyX cannot be compiled on Tru64 Unix 4.0d or 4.0e with the default cxx

cxx V6.3-020 is also known to work, although there is a bug in

At the time of writing, cxx V6.5-026 is the latest cxx compiler. It is
|
||||
/not/ recommended. The compiler itself appears to be both buggy and
|
||||
extremely bloated (trebling the size of the stripped LyX binary).
|
||||
|
||||
In order to compile LyX with the cxx compiler, you should run configure

with the following flags:

CXX='cxx -std strict_ansi'
|

CXXFLAGS='-nopure_cname -nocleanup -ptr /tmp/lyx_cxx_repository -O2'
|

CC='cc -std1'
|
||||
The -nopure_cname flag is needed for compilers V6.3 and above because
|
||||
LyX makes use of functions like popen, pclose that are defined in the
|
||||
c version of <stdio.h> but are not formally part of any c/c++ standard.
|

They are not, therefore, included in the <cstdio> header file.
