In the meantime I recompiled from scratch LyX on cygwin. No problem when linking, no problem in usage (I played only a bit with it). This was with Qt/Win, I'll later test Qt/X11 but I don't think it will make a difference. So, at least with cygwin, I would say that -mms-bitfield is not needed. Moreover, if it is a gcc issue, why should it be needed with mingw? -- Enrico
