That's strange as LyX 1.4.0cvs + kdewin's Qt port compile almost out-of-the box on Win2k with Cygwin (gcc 3.3.1 I believe). There is only one linker flag missing, and the error message one obtains on the first run is directly pointing to this flag (I forgot, which...) > Cygwin has a nasty bug that prevents you from running any LyX version at > present.

Do we still have such?

And if you did use something else than gcc (say, e.g., cl), how did you run configure? Andre' PS: Anybody any experiences with using Apache authenticating against sone Win2003 domain server over ldap? If I manage this I might be able to increase the number of Linux server in this particularily Dark Place by 100%... [I think I know the theory by now. However, whatever I try, I get some error 84 (or 86?) "Authentication failed" error, even when running a simple 'ldapsearch' with the -x/-D argument. Unfortunately, the Windows server do not log anything, so that's about the only information I have. What's the syntax of the -D parameter? -D "cn=whatever, dc=myorg, dc=de"? Or something completely different? Helpful responses please to andre <at> w a s y. de.]
