Dear list, I have spent long hours trying to set up a windows/lyx build environment. Small problems are solved, but now I am facing a big one:
In build_lyxwin.sh, line 151, autogen.sh is commented out. When I run the script, I get ./dv2dt.exe edited2.dvi edited3.dtl configure.ac has Win32-style line endings. Corrected Please use the Cygwin flavours of the autotools to run autogen.sh So I run autogen.sh myself: sh-2.04$ ./autogen.sh Using automake (GNU automake) 1.8.2 This automake version is not supported by LyX. LyX only supports automake 1.9. I checked mingw website (and the instruction), 1.8.2 is the current release, and was used by others..... Please advise. Bo BTW, I could not build aspell either. I get error message like: c:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory `D:/lyx-devel/downloads/asp ell-0.60.4/aspell-0.60.4' depbase=`echo prog/aspell.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`; \ if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I./gen -I./gen -I./common -I./interfaces/cc/ -I ./modules/speller/default/ -DLOCALEDIR=\"c:/Aspell/share/locale\" -g -O2 -fno- exceptions -MT prog/aspell.o -MD -MP -MF "$depbase.Tpo" -c -o prog/aspell.o prog /aspell.cpp; \ then mv -f "$depbase.Tpo" "$depbase.Po"; else rm -f "$depbase.Tpo"; exit 1; fi prog/aspell.cpp:28:20: aspell.h: No such file or directory In file included from prog/check_funs.hpp:10, from prog/aspell.cpp:38: prog/checker_string.hpp:29: error: expected `)' before '*' token prog/checker_string.hpp:107: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `AspellSpelle r' with no type prog/checker_string.hpp:107: error: expected `;' before '*' token prog/aspell.cpp:56:28: speller_impl.hpp: No such file or directory prog/aspell.cpp:57:20: data.hpp: No such file or directory prog/aspell.cpp:66: error: `aspeller' has not been declared prog/aspell.cpp:66: error: expected nested-name-specifier before "Conv" prog/aspell.cpp:66: confused by earlier errors, bailing out c:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** [prog/aspell.o] Error 1 c:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `D:/lyx-devel/downloads/aspe ll-0.60.4/aspell-0.60.4' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
