on a fresh 1.4.X, I get the following error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/lyx-1.4.X> scons -f development/scons/SConstruct frontend=qt qt_dir=/usr/lib/qt3 all ... Checking for main() in C library c... yes NameError: name 'frontend_libs' is not defined: File "development/scons/SConstruct", line 1343: env['VERSION_INFO'] = '''Configuration
For 1.4.x, frontend can only be qt2, which is the default. Also /usr/lib/qt3 can usually be detected. To avoid the auto reload of the wrong parameters, try: scons -f development/scons/Sconstruct load_option=no (or give the right parameters.) Anyway, allowing you to specify qt as frontend should be consider as a bug. I will check it. Bo
