Hi,
I'm trying to build LyX on Windows, using lyx-2.0.0beta1.tar.gz and the instructions in INSTALL.WIN32. When I compile I get the error I've copied below (I just copied the start of it). Does anyone know how to resolve it? Apologies if this has been answered before, it's quite hard to search through the archives. One possibility: I downloaded Visual C++ 2010 Express from MS's website, but the dependencies I downloaded from LyX's website lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008.zip. Could this mismatch (2010 vs 2008) be the problem? Thanks, Jim Configuration Host type: win32 Special build flags: /nologo /EHsc /wd4819 /wd4996 /nologo /MD /O2 C Compiler: cl C Compiler flags: C++ Compiler: cl C++ Compiler LyX flags: /TP /Zc:wchar_t- C++ Compiler flags: /TP /Zc:wchar_t- Linker flags: /nologo Linker user flags: /nologo Build info: Builing directory: #release/libs Libraries paths: #release/libs ..\..\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008\lib Boost libraries: ['included_boost_signals', 'included_boost_regex'] include search path: ..\..\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008\include Frontend: Frontend: qt4 Packaging: windows LyX dir: ..\..\build-msvc LyX files dir: C:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\build-msvc\Resources Building all targets recursively scons: done reading SConscript files. scons: Building targets ... cl /Forelease\src\frontends\qt4\GuiAlert.obj /c C:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src\frontends\qt4\GuiAlert.cpp /TP /Zc:wchar_t- /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1/boost /nologo /EHsc /wd4819 /wd4996 /nologo /MD /O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_KEYWORDS -DQT_GUI_LIB /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008\include /Irelease\src /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008\qt-4\include /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008\qt-4\include\QtCore /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008\qt-4\include\QtGui /Irelease\src /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src /Irelease\src\images /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src\images /Irelease\src\frontends /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src\frontends /Irelease\src\frontends\qt4 /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src\frontends\qt4 /Irelease\src\frontends\qt4\ui /IC:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src\frontends\qt4\ui GuiAlert.cpp c:\lyx\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src\frontends\qt4\InGuiThread.h(100) : error C2668: 'boost::ref' : ambiguous call to overloaded function C:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1/boost\boost/ref.hpp(64): could be 'const boost::reference_wrapper<T> boost::ref<P1>(T &)' with [ T=const lyx::docstring, P1=const lyx::docstring ] C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\INCLUDE\xrefwrap(439): or 'std::tr1::reference_wrapper<_Ty> std::tr1::ref<P1>(_Ty &)' [found using argument-dependent lookup] with [ _Ty=const lyx::docstring, P1=const lyx::docstring ] while trying to match the argument list '(const lyx::docstring)' C:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src\frontends\qt4\GuiAlert.cpp(198) : see reference to function template instantiation 'R lyx::frontend::InGuiThread<R>::call<int(__cdecl *)(const lyx::docstring &,const lyx::docstring &,int,int,const lyx::docstring &,const lyx::docstring &,const lyx::docstring &,const lyx::docstring &),const lyx::docstring,const lyx::docstring,int,int,const lyx::docstring,const lyx::docstring,const lyx::docstring,const lyx::docstring>(F,P1 &,P2 &,P3 &,P4 &,P5 &,P6 &,P7 &,P8 &)' being compiled with [ R=int, F=int (__cdecl *)(const lyx::docstring &,const lyx::docstring &,int,int,const lyx::docstring &,const lyx::docstring &,const lyx::docstring &,const lyx::docstring &), P1=const lyx::docstring, P2=const lyx::docstring, P3=int, P4=int, P5=const lyx::docstring, P6=const lyx::docstring, P7=const lyx::docstring, P8=const lyx::docstring ] c:\lyx\lyx-2.0.0beta1\src\frontends\qt4\InGuiThread.h(100) : error C2668: 'boost::ref' : ambiguous call to overloaded function C:\LyX\lyx-2.0.0beta1/boost\boost/ref.hpp(64): could be 'const boost::reference_wrapper<T> boost::ref<P1>(T &)' with [ T=const lyx::docstring, P1=const lyx::docstring ] C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\INCLUDE\xrefwrap(439): or 'std::tr1::reference_wrapper<_Ty> std::tr1::ref<P1>(_Ty &)' [found using argument-dependent lookup] with [ _Ty=const lyx::docstring, P1=const lyx::docstring ] while trying to match the argument list '(const lyx::docstring)'
