Greetings, I have attempted to compile LyX version 1.3.3 (with xforms-1.0) on a fresh install of the latest release of Cygwin (1.5.5-1) and gcc (3.3.1-2). The configure script runs without a hitch (with the flag --with-extra-lib=/usr/local/lib:/usr/bin). The compile runs without error until the final link of lyx.exe, when g++ complains about some unresolved symbols (details below).
An identical result occurred when I tried to compile LyX version 1.3.2, and also when I replaced gcc-3.3 with gcc-3.2. When I used gcc-2, the compile and link completed without problems, but the executable produced a segmentation fault (and an apology) without displaying any windows. When using either gcc-3.2 or -3.3, I was forced to use the configure flag --disable-optimization in order to finish the compile without thrashing the swapfile - despite having 512MB of RAM. I have managed to compile xforms-1.0 as a static library, and all of the demo programs can be made to compile (and run) after some tweaking of library orders and paths. In particular, the libX11 dll in /usr/bin works, but the static (.dll.a) version in /usr/lib causes the link to fail because of unresolved (unexported?) symbols. Anyway, the unresolved symbols in LyX appear not to be related to the xforms library. Any suggestions for building LyX on Cygwin would be gratefully received. I really want to use it on my laptop, which cannot run Linux because of unsupported hardware.
