* xforms frontend
|
||||
|
||||
Both an Xforms and Xpm libraries should be installed to compile LyX.
|
||||
It is imperative that you have the correct versions of these
|
||||
libraries, and their associated header files.
|
||||
|
||||
As of LyX version 1.2.0, you will need to have Xforms library and
|
||||
header version 0.88 or 0.89. Version 0.89.6 is the one which works
|
||||
best, but the old stable 0.88.1 version is still supported. On some
|
||||
systems, such as linux ELF, there are shared library versions of the
|
||||
Xforms library, which require an installation step to configure the
|
||||
system.
|
||||
The xforms library has been very recently updated to version 1.0.
|
||||
This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser General Public
|
||||
License), and the availability of the source means that many bugs that
|
||||
have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You are advised to
|
||||
upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes.
|
||||
In fact, LyX 1.3.0 no longer supports versions of xforms older than 0.89.5.
|
||||
|
||||
Xforms is available (free) only in binary format, source code is not
|
||||
available. If it is not available for your machine, contact the Xforms
|
||||
developers to request a version for your system. You can get it from

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/xforms/OpenSource/xforms-1.0-release.tgz
|
||||
|
||||
If you use a rpm-based linux distribution, such as RedHat or Mandrake,
|
||||
we recommend that you grab a version of xforms from
|
||||
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib
|
||||
as the rpm packages commonly found are compiled against glibc 2.0
|
||||
instead of 2.[12], and this causes occasional crashes.
|
||||
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib
|
||||
Look for the xforms-1.0-release.src.rpm or the binary libforms*.i386.rpm.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, you must have libXpm version 4.7 or newer.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the Qt and Gnome frontends are still under development, and
|
||||
as a result are only useful if you want to help out with testing and
|
||||
development.
|
||||
* Qt frontend
|
||||
|
||||
LyX has been tested with both Qt 2.x and 3.0.x libraries. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you make modifications to files in src/ (for example by applying a
|
||||
patch), you will need to have the GNU gettext package installed, due
|
||||
to some dependencies in the makefiles. You can find the latest version
|
||||
to some dependencies in the makefiles. You can get the latest version

||||
from:

|
||||
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.11.4.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
LyX contains a hack to work around this, but you should not rely too
|
||||
much on it.
|
||||
|
||||
To use the thesaurus, you will need to install libAikSaurus, available

from :
