In regards to the WinXP build problem reported earlier (See http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260 for details), I have some more info.
It looks like "ld -r" used by ``libtool --mode=link'' just does not
work on Cygwin.
Since I managed to build the latest CVS after some work, I thought
I would share the procedure (and a small patch) in the hopes that
someone who understands the build process (Lars) will go ahead and
fix this for Cygwin.
1) Apply the small patch (attached). This patch is safe. Please apply
to CVS.
2) ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make dist
3) unpack the newly created lyx-1.2.0cvs.tar.gz and do
./configure; make
The make fails when trying to make libmathed.o
4) Add the following to src/Makefile (right before the all: rule)
AM_MAKEFLAGS='CXXLINK=arhack $$@'
where arhack is the following shell script:
========================================
#!/bin/sh
archive=$1; shift
args=""
while [ $# -ne 0 ]
do
f=$1; shift
f=`echo $f | sed 's/\.lo$/.o/'`
args="$args $f"
done
ar ru $archive $args
ranlib $archive
========================================
4) make
This time, the make fails at the final link phase for lyx.exe.
Now, comment out the AM_MAKEFLAGS line and "make"
You now have a working lyx.
5) make install
Anyways... Please apply this patch.
