Hello, With all the excitement of QT front-end, I decided to try it, but encountering few problems. Just FYI that I read the INSTALL, README and ANNOUNCE files. I am using RedHat 7.3 so all the existence binaries for RH 8.0 (lyx and xforms-1.0) probably won't work for me.
Currently I have lyx.-1.2.1 with xform-0.88-9 that I am happy with, and use regularly, thus I don't really want to mess around with that for now. I want to try the newer version of lyx-1.2.3 with QT front-end. I know that it wont configure/compile with my current xforms. So I want to do either: 1. Forget xforms, just use QT. But how? How do I tell it in the configure options to ignore the old xform version and just use QT? Last time I tried to just run configure, it failed. The 'make' is also failed with recursive error. Is this suppose to happen? OR 2. Install xform-1.0. But as I said, I tried to not mess around with my current lyx+xforms things. So I tried to find xforms-1.0 source or something so that I can install it in separate directory, eg /usr/local/xforms-1.0 and then just tell Lyx's configure script to look for the xforms library in that location using --with-extra-lib and --with-extra-inc option. But no such thing exists, even in xform home page. The only thing that I can find is the pre-build binary rpm libforms-1.0. Will this work for RH 7.3? and will this not conflict with my current xforms (installed with rpms xforms? Thanks a lot for any help. Kudos for Lyx developers. Reuben D.
