Hi Angus,
did you see my email? AFAICS, the problems of LyX/MinGW are not caused
by gcc but are home-made.
BTW: The MinGW people have published a couple of new versions of their
tools recently. I use all the latested candidate versions and I did not
encounter any problem (beside the LyX problems).
If you link against a static qt library, the link times are fairly good
even for LyX 1.4 (just a few minutes). I have updated my compile
instructions just in case you want to create your own binary. If you
want to use MinGW's gdb, you should set CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS to "-gstabs".
Kind regards, Michael
Hi Angus,
I think I managed to create some reasonable backtraces for LyX 1.4 on
Windows.
AFAICS, there are at least three problerms with LyX 1.4 on Windows at
the moment. However, I have no idea what causes them... :-(
