Hello, trying to compile Lyx 1.2pre4 on a Debian with few development libraries showed a funny thing : if you do not have libjpeg installed configure will believe that your computer does not have memcopy and other basic string libraries.
It seems that an unnecessary -ljpeg slipped into the LDFLAGS used for the test of basic functions. This does not look like a big issue for 1.2, but I guess it would be nice to correct it. sincerely, P.O. Gaillard P.S. At my workplace, we will have to upgrade many documentations when Lyx 1.2.x comes, so that we will want a fully automated and seamless process. If Lyx does not do the job out of the box we will need to write a few Python scripts to do it.
