Ok, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself. I've compiled and linked lyx with
the kde frontend. This has meant compiling the kde-1.1.2 libraries with DEC
cxx; straightforward, but tedious with all those "using std::xxx" and extern
"C" calls I've come to know and love ;-)
Incidentally, Jean-Marc, if you are interested but don't want to go through
the pain, I'll happily ftp the qt/kde libs.
When it came to configuring/compiling/linking lyx, again all went fairly
smoothly, but there are some bugs in the configure script which could be
removed.
The script with which I configured lyx is at the bottom of this letter.
You'll see that I specify explicitly where to find the cxx-compiled qt and
kde libs and header files. I think that configure should respect these. I
have a working version, compiled with gcc and retrieved from the kde ftp
site, of qt/kde installed on my machine in /usr/local/qt and /usr/local/kde
that I didn't want (couldn't) use. To ensure this was so, I had to hack the
configure script. Diff file is attached.
Finally, the src/Makefile defines the qt and kdelibraries as:
-lqt -lkdecore
This results in lots of "can't find symbol" errors. On the DEC the order of
these library declarations is important. They should be
-lkdecore -lqt
Hope that these comments are of some use.
