[rework docs] two issues

2005-04-24 Thread Uwe Stöhr

Hello everybody, if you create LyX 1.3 based on MinGW/MSYS and Qt/Windows Free Edition, you experience a lot of strange things. Therefore, I have created a small document with compilation instructions. Please see the attachment. Regards, Michael 1 MinGW & MSYS 1.1 Download the following packag

[PATCH 14x] build support/globbing.C only for XForms

2005-04-24 Thread Angus Leeming
I need this patch to compile the 1.4.x tree with mingw. It results in support/globbing.C being compiled only if we're building the XForms frontend. configure --with-frontend='qt' leads to this in src/support/Makefile: #GLOBBING = globbing.C globbing.h $(GLOBBING) $(COMPRESSION) kill.C \

The fact that the generated pch.h.gch is placed in the src tree rather than the build tree means that using different compilers to make separate builds is problematic. I get this warning: cc1plus: warning: ./../../../../../src/frontends/qt2/ui/pch.h.gch: created on host `i686-pc-linux-gnu', but us
