Lyx does compile on Irix using gcc --- I'm running it at home. I never managed to get it to compile using MIPS C++ which is a shame as this generates much better code. I'll have a longer look into this when I'm in front of my SGI, but in the meantime ... > Probably a broken compiler. You need to send to the list the contents > of your config.log file. Or possibly not. An awful lot of autoconfigured stuff breaks under Irix because it tries to add /usr/lib to the search path for libraries. For better or worse, IRIX has 3 incompatible binary API formats (or something) --- o32 ones live in /usr/lib, n32 ones live in /usr/lib32, and n64 ones live in /usr/lib64. The default for IRIX 6.5 and later is n32. - - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.iso.port.ac.uk/~mike Senior Informatics Officer (Postmaster, Hostmaster, and security) - -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQCVAwUBO17kCs19DFC51SfFAQEcTQP9FD+BwiCawhVBrLi2ElGICEo4EZbx7XyF yhvKjNEGYjMoDkSnwKcGtraRLldWLIqcydpEF9OPYxnqCU2tSGsc+39gm6WmaKZB H4JwsA/F7uDFQTe2exgaieVtqhuyNXZfIVyadlIx9Q+jRwfsDZGWOdsrrD7CzPJq r0DBUDBtsUY= =Oyzc - -END PGP SIGNATURE- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQCVAwUBO17kTM19DFC51SfFAQGJSAP/Zdb3PWgBxHZIbV+dsSVjBbnHxONICUPG hZvZQ+azKbahZ5BixRJsXtZraWuBLOcC7N5Zic5dPuwuloSnH4j/sDD8Pngpz27C c3in3q1/V9K0BpughJIZhlvLzB5CGBBKdb+8/dU5iERijw6fYg6n/4bdxtxs9Ut3 cGidWozkzEo= =HSXr -END PGP SIGNATURE-
An Evening with Lyx and IRIX
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hi Well despite saying I'd have a look at compiling lyx with MIPSpro C++, I tried with gcc first --- if I'm going to compile lyx I'd like to end up with something that works at the end of it. I'll try again with MIPSpro C++ tonight. This message should probably go to the development list as well, but due to rather bizarre mail config problems here (all my fault) I can't do that. It might be worth adding a special README for IRIX (fighting configure is spectacularly irritating and many people would give up). Lyx version: last night's 1.2cvs IRIX: 6.5.8 GCC: 2.95.3 1As root :- cd /usr/lib mv libXpm.so libXpm.so.dis mv libXpm.a libXpm.a.dis cd /usr/lib32 mv libXpm.so libXpm.so.dis mv libXpm.a libXpm.a.dis cd /usr/include/X11 mv xpm.h xpm.h.dis This assumes that you have a modern version of Xpm somewhere built with '-n32'. 2Configure with the following :- LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib32 -L/usr/freeware/lib32 -L/opt/lib" \ ./configure --prefix=/opt The exact -L options to add to LDFLAGS will vary from system to system. If you're using csh this might not work --- do yourself a favour and use a decent shell (zsh). There's a hint in the generated configure file that there's support for coping with IRIX's multiple ABI's, but this doesn't seem to work (at least for me). 3Go into the po subdirectory and edit the Makefile. For every instance of the find command, replace with an absolute path to the GNU version of find (/usr/freeware/bin/find). [The -path option to find is GNU-specific] 4Edit boost/boost/detail/limits.hpp and change line 38 to read :- #if defined(__sparc) || defined(__sparc__) || defined(__powerpc__) || defined(__hppa) || defined(__mips) (i.e. add 'defined(__mips)' to the end of the line) No idea whether this really works or not, but Lyx now compiles and runs. 3Unwind step 1 (or things might break). - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.iso.port.ac.uk/~mike Senior Informatics Officer (Postmaster, Hostmaster, and security) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQCVAwUBO1/S+c19DFC51SfFAQFcKwQAj5deEf6baRYBYNO2oRQ7keh9/VEgvCck PtBMor63M+/dkhN2fQjvGu10teh3/fquRxAXB+ebqpmVhzqRCqC5d8DKWW/ZDssf lQIDXEpAvYVN0Svibh/lbfFgWZd+TGawgOnKmRnL+sYxNwNYu2GqWRoSKAGz4Q7L WjNIWp1Whms= =NZpL -END PGP SIGNATURE-

1.6 Has Issues With Minipage Options ?
Hi I was previously able (in version 1.5.6) to right-click on a minipage (or the little grey flag saying "Box (Minipage)") to get a little dialog box containing options for changing minipages. I no longer get this with my locally compiled version of Lyx 1.6. Is this specific to me or a more general problem ? -- Mike Meredith (http://zonky.org/) There has been such a thing as letting mankind alone; there has never been such a thing as governing mankind [with success] -- Zhuangzi

No, I don't get a context menu at all .. unless you count one that says "No action defined". -- Mike Meredith (http://zonky.org/) ... indeed, there is something vaguely dishonourable in having lived through the sixties without having spent time in jail --HST
