Yes, that's correct. Indeed, those scripts are Bourne shell scripts. I use tcsh for interactive working, but sh (or bash) is better for scripting. So, what you should enter on the command line is in tcsh syntax, whereas the scripts are in sh syntax. > I did try the tcsh shell and I liked how it displayed the > contents (directory vs. file). > > I have a Mingw directory of Qt3 from LyX140-pre3 already > but I will follow the instructions on the webpage as a > proof of concept (hope). I'm (un?)fortunately perfectionistic. I think that you are right. I myself followed those instructions and downloaded again from scratch the Qt sources, thus finding the problem of the not populated include dir. Had you used your existing Qt3 directory you would have had no problems ;-) Please, download again the qt3-cygwin.patch file as I updated it. Applying that patch you will find the link_includes script in the bin directory. This is the script that should be run before the configure command to populate the include dir. You should also revert the previous patch. I think that it can be done using the -R switch to the patch command, but perhaps it is better if you simply delete all patched files and then do a "cvs update" to have them freshly restored. Also, pay attention to the updated instructions on the wiki as I added a switch to the tar command used to copy the includes such that it dereferences the symlinks created by link_includes. -- Enrico
