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).
