Hi,

I've downloaded the tar file lyx-1.0.0pre6.tar.gz from
la1ad.uio.no at Tue Jan  5 13:55:17 1999

Yesterday I've installed this version on my solaris "box". I'm
preferring the compiler from Sun.

% CC -V
CC: SC4.0 18 Oct 1995 C++ 4.1
%

After untarring the files and doing a configure with

% CXX=CC ./configure

I detected some problems.

1. The file INSTALL suggests the usability of XForms Version 0.81 (I
have it).
   The problem is in file lines 139 and 140. There is no prototype (and
probably
   no code) in this version for fl_add_labelframe. I tried to download a
newer
   library version but can't (because of missing PTR-RR, a shame, I
know) and
   removed this two lines to continue.

2. The file src/buffer.C holds a bug.
   In line 952 there is a call of LString::empty but the parens are
missing.
   My compiler said:

"buffer.C", line 952: Error: Taking address of the bound function
LString::empty() const.

   I changed the line:

       if (!inscmd.getOptions().empty() ||
!inscmd.getContents().empty()) {

   I guess, this was the intention of the author of the code.
   Now the compile was ok, but there are some warnings like

"buffer.C", line 211: Warning: filename hides Buffer::filename.

   I think it's no problem with many of them, but it may be a problem
with some of them.
   This is the logfile of the build (with "silent" files omitted):

After the mentioned changes, the created lyx is ok and running.

We're (our Unix-group) using it for documentation purposes.
It's a great help to have such tool and we like it.
Thanks for your good work.

Have a good day and a happy new year.
