Whereas I am able to compile and link lyx 1.3.5 on Solaris 8 using gcc 3.3.4, the final link step fails doing a build with gcc 3.4.2. Since I'm able to build qt using gcc 3.4.2 it's not a compiler issue.
The configure run is as follows (gcc-comp starts gcc 3.4.2): export CC=gcc-comp export CXX=g++-comp export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mvis" export CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mvis" export LDFLAGS=-s ./configure --prefix=/export --datadir=/export/lib \ --with-version-suffix=1.3.5 --with-extra-prefix=/export --with-frontend=qt --enable-shared=no --with-qt-dir=$QTDIR Everthing compiles fine, then the final link of the executable yields: gmake[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/xxx/lyx-1.3.5/src' /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link
