Well, for the first time since 11.something, I've compiled a development version. I'm very impressed with myself! The bad news is, I had to get rid of -ansi to compile. Apparently, fileno() and struct sigaction and maybe one other thing I forgot are considered non-ansi by my SGI. The other bad news is that I need to use 'make LD=ld -n32'. That's probably an IRIX issue. The slightly good news is that doing that, I can actually get the thing to compile, and even see the 1.1 top-secret picture. But the really bad news is that LyX totally crashes when I try to open a file. Whether I use new, open, or lyx foo.lyx from the command line, LyX core dumps with a bus error. dbx tells me: > 0 BufferView::CursorToggleCB(this = 0x103c46a0) > ["/u2/karger/lyx/CVS/lyx/src/BufferView.C":1295, 0x1004c288] 1 Concretecppslot0<BufferView>::call(this = 0x103e68f0) ["/u2/karger/lyx/CVS/lyx/src/../src/include/gtk--sigcpp.h":109, 0x1005f290] 2 Timer::priv_timer_impl::timer_cb(ob = 0x103e68f0, <no name> = -1) ["/u2/karger/lyx/CVS/lyx/src/../src/include/gtk--sigcpp.h":89, 0x10227404] 3 fl_object_qread(0x103e68f0, 0xffffffff, 0x1004c178, 0x0, 0xffffffff, 0x23, 0x0, 0x22) ["/usr2/xx/xforms/FORMS/events.c":176, 0x5ff7d568] 4 fl_check_forms(0x103e68f0, 0xffffffff, 0x1004c178, 0x0, 0xffffffff, 0x23, 0x5fff2eec, 0x22) ["/usr2/xx/xforms/FORMS/forms.c":1972, 0x5ff7b818] etc. Which is pretty cool since the function it's calling is empty. Is this at all useful to anyone for debugging purposes? Probably not. But I'd be psyched if someone could tell me why this is happening. Next question: when I do a cvs update, how much of 'aclocal;automake;autoconf;configure;make' do I need to redo? -Amir ps now that John has convinced me I can't get a job in chemistry (chemical physics, whatever), I guess I have to stop working on reLyX and become a C++ hacker. pps happy thanksgiving to those of us lucky to have a four day weekend with no other purpose than eating ourselves senseless, which is almost as fun as drinking yourself senseless (but that can wait until Dec. 31).
