Hi,
I'm new to the community of lyx and cjk-lyx. Recently,
I downloaded the source of CJK-LyX-qt-1.3.6-1.src.tar.gz
from ftp://cellular.phys.pusan.ac.kr/CJK-LyX and compiled
it under SuSe Pro 9.3 and Windows XP with MinGW and Qt-free.
The following highlights my compiling experience with spotted
problems.
1. The compilation in Linux was very smooth and lyx accepts
Chinese inputs in text mode. It seems work well but under
math mode it doesn't allow Chinese inputs. Any Chinese
characters entered from the IME dosen't enter the math frame
but is displayed in front of the math frame. Here the math
frame indicates the active area for math input.
Quite often, a character is needed to be in a text string
within math mode, which can be realized by \mbox{} or \text{}
commands. Sometimes, a Chinese character is used as a math
symbol.
2. For the compilation in MinGW, I followed Michael Schmitt's
instruction for compiling lyx-qt-win-1.3.6,
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg80087.html.
(1) During first compilation, the compiler stopped at files
./CJK-LyX-qt-1.3.6/src/frontends/qt2/QLPainter.C
and
./CJK-LyX-qt-1.3.6/src/lyxfind.C
with the error message that alloca() is not defined. Then
I added the following codes to the both files and the compilation
went on. (Essentially, it is "#include <alloca.h>").
#ifdef __GNUC__
# define alloca __builtin_alloca
# define HAVE_ALLOCA 1
#else
# if defined HAVE_ALLOCA_H || defined _LIBC
# include <alloca.h>
# else
# ifdef _AIX
# pragma alloca
# else
# ifndef alloca
char *alloca ();
# endif
# endif
# endif
#endif
(2) The compilation stopped once more at file
./CJK-LyX-qt-1.3.6/src/lyxcodeconv.C
By commenting on the three lines
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xlocale.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
the compilation was finished.
(3) Then with excitement I invoked lyx.exe and tried to input some Chinese
characters.
But they weren't displayed in the lyx window. With some investigation, I
noticed
that, the Chinese characters I input are merely in the buffer. In fact,
exporting
lyx file into its latex version, I saw the Chinese characters in the
latex file!
Another clue. Position the cursor in between "A" abd "B" in the string
"AB".
Enter 5 Chinese characters from an IME. You can only see 'AB' on the
screen. But
you have to press the left arrow key 6 times to reach the left of "A".
Thanks.
Y.Z.
