Ok, I should not have followed up to this mail, but I wanted Asgers attention... Hey! I read almost all of the traffic on the list. [Changes in LyXFont] Do you have any other/better ideas on how to do this? I think that after my changes it is a lot clearer what is going on in lowlevel LyXFont code, so from a maintence viewpoint the changes are good. The LyXFont code should be split into two different parts: one for LyX abstract representation of fonts, and one for the concrete instance of fonts in the GUI. Therefore, it's ok to clean up the font code even at the price of performance, but only if the work is followed up by the split in font representation that will make the performance problem less acute. But only in due time! Small steps, remember? Anyway I will check this in, and then you can have a look. I'm a little surprised that you did this work at this stage, although I understand that it's more fun. However, please consider to spent some time to finish the space issues in tables and extremes of paragraphs, and fix some of the other bugs that have been reported recently. Right now, we need stability more than the new painter if you ask me. People say that 1.1.2 was more stable than what we have now. That's the wrong direction. 1.1.5 should be more stable than 1.1.2!

Juergen I would like to see this code it would interst me what you
Juergen did to call KDE_DO_IT_ALL only if the --with-frontend=kde is
Juergen set.
OTOH, I am concerned by the fact that this KDE autoconf stuff does
many things we already do, and that some things that go in config.h
could create conflicts. We'll see over time.
Basically, I removed everything but the call to LYX_USE_FRONTEND in
configure.in, and changed the macro to the following:
### Check which frontend we want to use. The default is XForms
###
AC_DEFUN(LYX_USE_FRONTEND,
[AC_MSG_CHECKING(what frontend should be used as main GUI)
AC_ARG_WITH(frontend,
[ --with-frontend[=value] Use THIS frontend as main GUI:
Possible values: xforms,kde],
[lyx_use_frontend="$withval"], [lyx_use_frontend="xforms"])
AC_MSG_RESULT([$lyx_use_frontend])
lyx_flags="$lyx_flags frontend-$lyx_use_frontend"
case "$lyx_use_frontend" in
kde)
KDE_DO_IT_ALL
FRONTEND="kde"
FRONTEND_GUILIB="\${top_builddir}/src/frontends/kde/libkde.la"
FRONTEND_LDFLAGS="\$(QT_LDFLAGS) \$(KDE_LDFLAGS)"
FRONTEND_INCLUDES="\$(QT_INCLUDES) \$(KDE_INCLUDES)"
FRONTEND_LIBS="\$(KDE_LIBS)"
AC_DEFINE(KDEGUI);;
xforms)
FRONTEND="xforms"
FRONTEND_GUILIB="\${top_builddir}/src/frontends/xforms/libxforms.la";;
*)
LYX_ERROR(Unknown frontend $lyx_use_frontend);;
esac
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND)
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND_GUILIB)
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND_LDFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND_INCLUDES)
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND_LIBS)
])
I am not sure it works (since I can't test it), but the idea should be
correct. Basically, the differences are the way the default xforms
value is obtained (arg4 of AC_ARG_WITH) and the case to avoid bogus
values. It does the same, but is cleaner.
Juergen Well what does it write inside config.h you don't like? I
Juergen don't care if we remove that. It's possible that I test some
Juergen things we already do, but does this really mater?
I don't know. Just that I think there are many things there and I do
not like those kde macros which do many things I'm not sure we need,
like:
- gettext
- K_PATH_X which does something different from AC_PATH_X
(which we already have called at this point) although we do not know
what exactly
- KDE_CHECK_EXTRA_LIBS does something we already do (--with-extra-xxx)
- check for setenv (we have one, and do not know whether theirs is
better/worse)
- AC_CHECK_COMPILERS does something we already do
- KDE_PROG_LIBTOOL. What does it do?
It seems that some of these functions are actually not used. We could
maybe try to remove them from kde.m4 and see whether our situation improves.
Juergen I connect over pserver (rsh) too, ..., test, AND have the
Juergen same problems like you just now! Probably we have to contact
Juergen Lars for this. I did not try to commit anything but I guess I
Juergen cannot do it too :(

It'd be one less file to give irrelevent conflicts on. Irrelevent in the sense that I hadn't modified it locally but cvs still says there are conflicts -- just like in 89 other files only 8 of which were relevent! As you can probably guess I'm merging the latest HEAD into my branch. Why is it that: cvs update -j sigc-3 -j HEAD removes all the new files I had in my branch? It's supposed to be merging the differences not just replacing everything with HEAD which is exactly what it did do! I'm sure I never had these problems when I was doing the sgi-stl stuff and used exactly the same form of the update command. When I instead use: cvs update -j HEAD I get 89 files having clashes even though only 8 of them have actually been modified in my branch all the rest are still as they were on the main trunk. whinge, whinge, whinge... Rather than just copy the new files across I went through the exercise of merging them by hand (AARRRGGGHHH!) which was fun while it lasted but now that I've stopped I don't think I'd ever do that again. (Like thumping your head against a brick wall -- it doesn't hurt till you stop. Don't believe me? Try it!) I did cheat for the po files though.

Therefore, it's ok to clean up the font code even at the price of performance, but only if the work is followed up by the split in font representation that will make the performance problem less acute. But only in due time! Small steps, remember? > Anyway I will check this in, and then you can have a look. I'm a little surprised that you did this work at this stage, although I understand that it's more fun. However, please consider to spent some time to finish the space issues in tables and extremes of paragraphs, and fix some of the other bugs that have been reported recently. Right now, we need stability more than the new painter if you ask me. People say that 1.1.2 was more stable than what we have now. That's the wrong direction. 1.1.5 should be more stable than 1.1.2!

Change the layout title
Hi, I'm a new user of LyX. And now, I have the problem to change the layout title into my language. When I use the Abstract layout, the word "Abstract" always appear in the beginning of abstrac paragraph; or if I use the Part layout, then the word "Part #" show in the beginning line. Now, how to change this word, so I can use my own language, e.g., I need the word "Abstrak" instead of "Abstract", or "Bagian" instead of "Part #" btw, I'm an Indonesian, a student of Sepuluh Nopember Institut of Technology, and I'm so sorry about my "BAD ENGLISH" in this mail. Thank you, anyway, and I think I'm gonna hate the Microsoft product.. Thanks to LyX. Edward H Sinaga

You have autoconf and automake installed why not libtool as well? I think Lars has been been spoiling you. Why do we need libtool in the repository? Sure it's got to be included in the dist but it doesn't need to be in the repository for that to happen. I've been taking another look at libsigc++'s configure.in and might talk to Karl about splitting some of its tests up into a separate sigcinclude.m4 for libsigc++. That would then allow us to eliminate sigc++/configure.in. And we wouldn't need the duplication of libtools etc. > Allan> sigc++config.h.in should have been generated in a previous > Allan> step. > > Probably failed because autoconf failed earlier. Exactly.

Basically, I removed everything but the call to LYX_USE_FRONTEND in
configure.in, and changed the macro to the following:
### Check which frontend we want to use. The default is XForms
###
AC_DEFUN(LYX_USE_FRONTEND,
[AC_MSG_CHECKING(what frontend should be used as main GUI)
AC_ARG_WITH(frontend,
[ --with-frontend[=value] Use THIS frontend as main GUI:
Possible values: xforms,kde],
[lyx_use_frontend="$withval"], [lyx_use_frontend="xforms"])
AC_MSG_RESULT([$lyx_use_frontend])
lyx_flags="$lyx_flags frontend-$lyx_use_frontend"
case "$lyx_use_frontend" in
kde)
KDE_DO_IT_ALL
FRONTEND="kde"
FRONTEND_GUILIB="\${top_builddir}/src/frontends/kde/libkde.la"
FRONTEND_LDFLAGS="\$(QT_LDFLAGS) \$(KDE_LDFLAGS)"
FRONTEND_INCLUDES="\$(QT_INCLUDES) \$(KDE_INCLUDES)"
FRONTEND_LIBS="\$(KDE_LIBS)"
AC_DEFINE(KDEGUI);;
xforms)
FRONTEND="xforms"
FRONTEND_GUILIB="\${top_builddir}/src/frontends/xforms/libxforms.la";;
*)
LYX_ERROR(Unknown frontend $lyx_use_frontend);;
esac
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND)
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND_GUILIB)
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND_LDFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND_INCLUDES)
AC_SUBST(FRONTEND_LIBS)
])
I am not sure it works (since I can't test it), but the idea should be
correct. Basically, the differences are the way the default xforms
value is obtained (arg4 of AC_ARG_WITH) and the case to avoid bogus
values. It does the same, but is cleaner.

I don't know. Just that I think there are many things there and I do
not like those kde macros which do many things I'm not sure we need,
like:
- gettext
- K_PATH_X which does something different from AC_PATH_X
(which we already have called at this point) although we do not know
what exactly
- KDE_CHECK_EXTRA_LIBS does something we already do (--with-extra-xxx)
- check for setenv (we have one, and do not know whether theirs is
better/worse)
- AC_CHECK_COMPILERS does something we already do
- KDE_PROG_LIBTOOL. What does it do?
It seems that some of these functions are actually not used. We could
maybe try to remove them from kde.m4 and see whether our situation improves.

While I'm on the subject while is acinclude.m4 in the repository? We build it with autogen.sh and noone should be editting it anyway. Is this just that someone forgot to do a: cvs rm acinclude? It'd be one less file to give irrelevent conflicts on. Irrelevent in the sense that I hadn't modified it locally but cvs still says there are conflicts -- just like in 89 other files only 8 of which were relevent! As you can probably guess I'm merging the latest HEAD into my branch. Why is it that: cvs update -j sigc-3 -j HEAD removes all the new files I had in my branch? It's supposed to be merging the differences not just replacing everything with HEAD which is exactly what it did do! I'm sure I never had these problems when I was doing the sgi-stl stuff and used exactly the same form of the update command. When I instead use: cvs update -j HEAD I get 89 files having clashes even though only 8 of them have actually been modified in my branch all the rest are still as they were on the main trunk. whinge, whinge, whinge... Rather than just copy the new files across I went through the exercise of merging them by hand (AARRRGGGHHH!) which was fun while it lasted but now that I've stopped I don't think I'd ever do that again. (Like thumping your head against a brick wall -- it doesn't hurt till you stop. Don't believe me? Try it!) I did cheat for the po files though. I've got this compiling now (on a P100 this will take forever) and will commit it sometime after it successfully works... maybe even tomorrow ;-) I can certainly see why Lars does all his development in the main trunk.
