My sed version is the one with MSYS-1.0.11 (GNU sed 3.02).
Please note that I am not using MSYS DTK, I have hand installed the needed software (autoconf, automake, libtool, etc).

Sorry, late arrival to this thread, so I apologize if I'm repeating something said elsewhere. The version of sed you're using is known to choke on DOS scripts (due to the CR/LF line terminators IIRC). Upgrading to sed 4.anything should eliminate at least that problem. This was documented (repeatedly and painfully) in the user list.

The only version of sed-4 for windows is from GnuWin32 not Mingw nor MSYS. So I am a bit scared at the consequence of replacing it because the build process is so fragile. And I was told to stick with MSYS and Mingw...

And this advice was right. One should never mix Gnuwin32 stuff with MSYS stuff because Gnuwin32 assumes you are running within CMD and MSYS assumes you are running within sh. So Gnuwin32 sed is fine for lyx installation but definitely not for compilation.


Anyway, lyx is now in the link stage (ld taking 400 megs, crossing my fingers) but it's a partial build because I was not able to build the po subdir. I'll try to replace sed and see what's happening.

Thanks for the info,
Abdel.
