Hello!
I have compiled and installed LyX 1.3.1 with XForms on a Sun computer
with SunOs 5.8 (Solaris 2.8).
I encountered some problems:
1) After uppgrading XForms to version 1.0 the ./configure command succeeded.
2) In the generated Makefile in the top directory I replaced the line
AMTAR ?= $(TAR)
with
AMTAR = $(TAR)
to be able to run the Makefile.
3) The compilation (g++ 2.95.3) failed at one point. The solution was to
set the environment variable CXXFLAGS :
setenv CXXFLAGS "-ftemplate-depth-25"
(for C-shell).
4) When starting LyX 1.3.1 I noticed that greek letters etc. in math
equations looked like rubbish on the screen, for example the sign for
summation was a capital P. This problems is similar to the problem
reported for Qt.
The solution was to remove (or rename) the directory
.../share/lyx/xfonts and logout and in again.
I did not succeed in compiling LyX 1.3.1 for Qt.
