-Problems
---------
-
-This section provides several hints that have been submitted by LyX
-team members or users to help compiling on some particular
-architectures. If you find that some of these hints are wrong, please
-notify us.
-
- o On SUN Sparc Solaris, you need gnumake. The LyX makefiles do not
- work with Solaris make.
-
- The Solaris 8 ar seg-faults trying to build the insets library. You
- will need to use the ar from the GNU binutils for this subdirectory.
- There is no problem with the Solaris 9 and 10 ar.
-
- Qt4 uses the Xrender X11 extension for antialiased fonts. This
- extension was added to Xsun starting from the Solaris 10 8/07
- release, but it is not activated by default. To activate it, you
- must issue (as root) the following command:
- svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server setprop
options/server_args=+xrender
- and then restart the X server.
-
- There is a problem with the fontconfig library shipped with
- Solaris 10 8/07 causing a seg-fault when it is used by Qt4.
- Until this is fixed, a workaround is replacing the shared library
- /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 with a copy from a previous release or
- installing a new version of fontconfig from http://www.sunfreeware.com/
-
- On Solaris, the default fontconfig configuration gives preference
- to bitmap fonts at (not so small) sizes. As bitmapped fonts are not
- antialiased, you may prefer changing this configuration. This may be
- done by adding the following stanza
-
- <match target="pattern">
- <edit name="prefer_bitmap">
- <bool>false</bool>
- </edit>
- </match>
-
- to either ~/.fonts.conf (for a per-user change) or /etc/fonts/local.conf
- (for a global system change). The stanza should be added between the
- <fontconfig> and </fontconfig> tags. If neither ~/.fonts.conf nor
- /etc/fonts/local.conf exists, you can create them with the following
- content:
-
- <?xml version="1.0"?>
- <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
- <fontconfig>
- <match target="pattern">
- <edit name="prefer_bitmap">
- <bool>false</bool>
- </edit>
- </match>
- </fontconfig>
