Claus,
could you post a few instructions on how you did the port, i.e. which
version of Cygwin and xforms? I am having some trouble with the latest cvs
code, i.e. I get errors when compiling from the forms.h header files....
Really strange since it used to work. I am using cygwin-1.1.2 the net
release and bxforms-0881 from the xforms website. Also which version of X11
do you have? I always get tons of warnings and I have to set the compiler
switch -fpermissive in config.status.
I am using XFree86-4.0 from the Cygwin website.
The reason for doing my own port is that I do have the full Cygwin
environment on my NT box and all the restrictions as to where Lyx has to be
installed and the .bat files are then obsolete. I can(could) actually start
lyx from the bash commandline.
PS: For all you guys that cant afford a real X-server :-) The Cygwin guys
now have a "stable" port of XFree86 for Windows - It is quite amazing after
all these years. I have not tried LyX with it but as soon as I get it to
compile I'll test it.
