Probably the same in 1.4.x too. $ grep -r 'warn *(' src src/frontends/xforms/lyx_gui.C: os::warn("Unable to access X display, exiting"); src/support/os.h: static void warn(string mesg); src/support/os_os2.C:void os::warn(string /*mesg*/) { src/support/os_unix.C:void os::warn(string /*mesg*/) src/support/os_win32.C:void os::warn(string mesg)
So, only the unix flavour is ever invoked (XForms, see) and the function is defined as void os::warn(string /*mesg*/) { return; } I'd replace it with a call to lyxerr, but currently my tree is rather messy ;-) -- Angus
