I suggest that you stop wasting your time ;-) Even if you succeed in compiling the client, it will not work because Qt should be aware of unix sockets, too. The story is that LyX registers a callback function with Qt passing to it the socket she wants to be notified upon. But if Qt is not aware of unix sockets this will never happen. To allow for this functionality in the X11-less version of qt3 I build by myself, I had to replace all the code dealing with sockets. I was helped by the fact that when I was younger I wrote an unix emulation library for the Amiga (I even had to implement the select() function), so I have a bit of experience with these matters. And before you ask, no, I will not write an unix emulation library for mingw ;-) -- Enrico
