I have made progress in with linking problems on non-gnu systems for 1.2.x (using angus excellent script to move .tmpl files inclusion to header files) and now on my tru64 unix system the build dies with
/bin/ld: Unresolved: boost::detail::crc_table_t<32, 79764919, true>::table_ Indeed, nm shows that lyxsum.o contains U boost::detail::crc_table_t<32, 79764919, true>::table_ whereas on my linux system, it contains 00000000 V boost::detail::crc_table_t<32, 79764919, true>::table_ The first one is an external symbol, while the second one is a weak object. More info can be found at http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425 Now, I would like somebody who understands why the .tmpl tweaks did something to tell me what to do with the boost problems... Please? JMarc
