I thought I should just check out the alleged rumours that lyx could not be compiled with included string anymore...
It took me less than 30 minutes to fix it up... it does not seem that you lyxstring zealots have tried very hard... I even found a couple of semi-grave errors when doing this. (missing config.h files in .C files) Btw... lyxstring does not buy much size wise now, especially since lyx now have to include two (or with qt) three different string libs. I didn't check for compilation speed. size build/src/lyx qt/src/lyx string/src/lyx text data bss dec hex filename 2516153 80516 48668 2645337 285d59 build/src/lyx 2652448 135944 22972 2811364 2ae5e4 qt/src/lyx 2250562 80444 48764 2379770 244ffa string/src/lyx the fixes is intermixed with the ctrl-clean patch so I'll send the patch later... it is not very nice, but it is simple... (and of course when run it aborts very quickly... damn those lyxstring asserts :-) ) -- Lgb
