Yes, there's a problem with threading support in the latest cygwin1.dll. > I probably need to refresh my Cygwin and follow the latest Cygwin/QT/LyX > build directions so I can get my Cygwin/Windows builds up to the latest. I recently enbarked on trying to compile LyX on Cygwin without using X11 and I think I succeeded quite well in it ;-) You can find directions at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnCygwin and I would be glad to hear some comment as I have the impression to be alone in the Cygwin boat after the Windows hydrofoil one ;-) > So, in short, I have no objections since I can't build right now > anyways! :-) > > If anyone has any suggestions to help me get my daily builds working > again, please feel free to email me.

As regards Cygwin, it seems that it suffices disabling threading in Qt, for the other platforms I don't know. I could be of some help only with Debian and Solaris. -- Enrico
