Hi all I am fairly new to LyX, but I am now going to be using extensively as part of my studies (ie at a minimum of the next 5 years). As such, I want to have nice, smooth fonts to read on my screen because the harsh, disgusting looking fonts that xforms uses just really bore me to tears! ;-)
So, I want qt working, and I'm willing to submit bug reports, suggestions, code snippets that I've found that fix various issues (I'm not a from-scratch coder, but I can fix code), etc... Only issue is, I can't even compile 1.2.0pre4 (with qt frontend) or the current CVS snapshot! The current CVS snapshot doesn't come with a configure script, so when I run autoconf to generate a configure script from configure.in, it generates a configure file which doesn't work. The output is: [root@ice lyx-devel]# ./configure loading cache ./config.cache ./configure: line 534: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_CONFIG_HEADER(src/config.h)' ./configure: line 534: ` AM_CONFIG_HEADER(src/config.h)' When I try and compile 1.2.0pre4, it works perfectly. However, when configuring with --with-frontend=qt2, trying to compile it halts partway through the compile with a bunch of errors about missing *.lo files, and if I comment these out of the Makefile (just to see what happens), it halts later on complaining about missing *Base.h files. Is anyone able to offer me a hand or tell me how I can help with getting the qt development moving along again? I have never programmed with the qt libs before, but am willing to learn to some degree if someone can get me started! Thanks, Brett. -- Ethernet (n): something used to catch the etherbunny.
