1.1.6 testing ...
I spent some time testing last friday's CVS, and these are some
things I noticed. Plenty of this is IMHO of course, and more of it is
just questions I will answer/fix myself if no-one beats me to it.
Basically this is my personal bugzilla, so feel free to answer WORKSFORME,
FIXED, WONTFIX, NOTABUG etc. :)
1) Opening the preferences dialog without any document open prints this
on the minibuffer :
(Command not allowed without any document open (dialog-preferences))
2) on using prefs dialog :
FormPreferences::Colors::LoadBrowserLyX: can't find color
"offwhite". This shouldn't happen!
3) its very easy to confuse xforms by resizing the prefs dialog (yes I
have opaque resize on).
xforms 0.88. I imagine there is no simple fix. Also resizing doesn't
resize the tab folders themselves. Is this covered by the new entry
in BUGS.lyx ?
4) feature request - it would be nice if the colour box updated as I
dragged the RGB/HSV sliders, so I can see immediately the colour I am
generating.
5) ert may be an amusing name for the colour object, but users may well
not know. Also it can be inaccurate ... :)
6) the help messages "Set to false" should be "De-select" IMHO -
much clearer.
7) is it possible to alter the numbers in the spinboxes (e.g. zoom %)
directly ? This is especially pertinent for "auto-save" where cycling
down to 0 takes forever. For this particular case, I think an explicit
disable would be good.
8) what's the point in Spell command - "none" ?
9) wouldn't it make sense for ispell dictionary browser to default to
home directory ?
10) the "not the" compound spellcheck example is just likely to baffle people
IMHO. How about "disk drive" or something real ?
11) Is "Usage" the best tab name ? What is wrong with "Language Options" ?
12) Usage-Language-Keyboard appears aligned funny here ...
13) Converters-Formats-Modify should be Apply IMHO.
14) Should I be allowed to delete formats/convertors without confirmation ?
15) Inputs-Paths-Temp dir tells me "This directory is deleted when
you quit LyX". This isn't right surely ? LyX has no business trying to delete
/tmp or any other directory IMHO.
16) What does turning off the Temp dir checkbox do anyway ?
17) Outputs-Printer-adapt output - what's the point of this ? Surely
if a printer name is entered, it will need passing to lpr or whatever ?
If it is equal to $PRINTER, no matter ...
18) I suppose Printer Flags could do with some more descriptive help
messages ?
19) Has checktex defaulted to "none" because I don't have it installed
? Shouldn't it just be blank ?
20) apparently I have pretty ref package installed, but using it in LyX
gives LaTeX errors :
[...] \usepackage{prettyref}
\begin{document}
\section{wfwfwqfwq\label{wfwfwfwfwf}}
fefewfew\prettyref{wfwfwfwfwf} \end{document}
gives :
Runaway argument?
\end {document} ! File ended while scanning use of \@prettyref.
inserted text
\par
tetex-latex-1.0.7-6mdk
21) If I run without a personal LyX directory, I can still Save changes
in the prefs dialog - shouldn't the
dialog be read-only in this case ? It leaves the prefs files in
$HOME otherwise.
22) opening, say, the URL in splash.lyx and then clicking on OK gives
"OkCancelReadOnlyPolicy: No transition for input 2 from state 0"
23) prettyref should be disabled if the user doesn't have it in their
latex config. I intend to do a small patch
for KDE soon so I'll do xforms at the same time if it's obvious. The
same applies to various other frontend things I expect.
24) this one has bugged me for a while - if you are selecting text by
dragging the mouse, and you end selection by
releasing the button above an inset, that is registered as a click
on the inset, and the dialog (if relevant) will pop up. Quite
annoying... xforms bug ?
25) the tooltip for the table dialog says "Open Insert Tabular Dialog". It
should just be "Insert Table" to go with
"Insert Figure". Similarly, Insert-tabular should be Insert-Table
IMHO.
26) in maths mode, go superscript, carry on typing, go superscript
again. The cursor runs away with itself and gets too far
in front.
27) IMHO "Warning: language `default' not recognized! Setting language to
`english'" should be "Warning: setting language 'default'
to 'english'", because the prior sounds like the user has done
something wrong.
28) Similarly "Unable to show Latex logfile !" sounds a bit more exciting
than it actually is (e.g. the user just hasn't run latex yet). IMHO
"No LaTeX log file found" sounds better ...
29) I can write into Layout-paragraph-Label width, even when it's
"Senseless with this layout !"
30) when I switch between the bullet depths, the latex changes but it
doesn't move to the correct bullet "window". can this be done easily ?
31) isn't there duplication between Edit-spellchecker-options and the
prefs dialog ?
32) What are the mysterious two numbers
The never-ending gs process hang saga ...
What is the status of the "gs process hangs" bug ?
ghostscript-5.50-9mdk, xforms 0.88
I noticed Lars' comment in spellchecker.C (!). I have a good way to
reproduce at least one of the symptoms :
1) find a big, slow eps and add it to a lyx file.
2) whilst it is loading (quickly now ;) click on Help-Version, and wait
3) After a while, close trhe dial, and it will hang
You need to be quick enough to reach Help-Version before it finishes
displaying.
moz src 116 ps alx | grep gs
000 500 933 931 9 0 5332 3036 d_path Sttyp1 0:00 /usr/bin/gs
^^ ^
d_path() seems an odd place to be waiting to me, I can't see any obvious
sleeping points. Possibly this is the wrong symbol ... (d_path() is
used in the kernel to return a string pathname "/like/this/file").
Now, having found a testcase, I was intrigued if it could be narrowed
down at all. Of course I ended up baffled :) My first thought was that
figinset.C:BrowseFile() was responsible. I was right - commenting out
BrowseFile() on line 1756 removed the bug.
This confused me as BrowseFile() looked utterly harmless, so I thought
maybe it's XForms being funny.
We use a "figinset_canvas" to communicate with the ghostscript process,
and install a handler "GhostscriptMsg" for that FL_OBJECT. This handler
looks out for ClientMessages that signify gs is done. I don't have
any docs for the property change stuff, but it looks to me that we do
something like :
1) wait until the properties are unused (i.e. wait for gs processes to finish)
2) add the relevant gs info to the window properties
3) set up an environment with the window id containing the properties
4) run gs
And gs will read off the properties and notify eventually via a
ClientMessage (which xforms will pass on to the figinset canvas).
So I added a load of debugging gubbins, and discovered that, yes, the
difference between the two cases are in fact that this client message
never arrives in the broken case. At this point I suspected xforms
strongly of being buggy (ha !) and installed a "pre" event handler for
this window. Confusingly, nothing of interest ever comes through this
pre handler (and indeed, trying an xev -id window id of canvas comes
up blank too) in EITHER case.
At the very least I would expect to see ClientMessages being shown (I
checked, it is definitely that window ID that the ClientMessages are
generated for).
I really don't understand this bit at all - it doesn't make any sense
for a ClientMessage to be delivered, but not reported by xev OR the pre
handler !
For a while I thought I was on to a winner, when I noticed that
all the dialogs that seem to make a difference were encompassed by
Prohibit/AllowInput(). However, commenting out the *Input() didn't fix
the bug, but commenting out the fl_show_message() or whatever did.
So like many before me I'm sure :), I have reached an impasse. It seems
that when you open certain forms, (and which ones seem to be arbitrary,
despite the Prohibit/Allow input stuff), then xforms will trash the
ClientMessage.
Interestingly, if you open a guilty dialog (say Version) then close it
again before the rendering is done, then it *still* won't render. This
implies that the dialog opening is resetting something about which events
are being delivered to the X event loop inside xforms. A theory backed up
by the fact that, after it breaks, it stays broken, and no ClientMessages
ever get through.
This is either a matter of XSelectInput() or XMaskEvent() and friends
and some internal state. It all depends on what xforms inner event loop
does. Experiments with sending ClientMessages myself directly before
fl_show_message("Version message") didn't help much :
SendEvent
ProhibitInput
SendEvent
SendEvent
fl_show_message()
SendEvent
AllowInput
SendEvent
produced two delivered ClientMessages. Interestingly it showed that a
"pre" handler, contrary to the documentation, does not get invoked prior
to xforms getting its mitts on the event - I got a "GhostscriptMsg"
from the Canvas handler *before* the pre handler message ! Yet another
xforms bug I suppose. Even more bizarrely, it is invoked for *other*
FL_OBJECTs. e.g.
fl_set_object_prehandler(figinset_canvas, GSPreHandler); // figinset_canvas id =
0x3800098
will output a win of say 0x3800074, which is a totally different window !
Also, experiments proved it wasn't an issue with the figinset_canvas -
I changed figinset to temporarily use the WorkArea window to communicate,
and still the ClientMessages of interest got dropped. However, I was also
delivering ClientMessages when WorkArea::setScrollBar() was invoked -
these got through ! Maybe xforms is dropping all ClientMessages of a
certain ev.xclient.message_type ? (My scrollbar one used 404040 decimal,
whereas gs ClientMessages get delivered with a value of "503").
My questions :
1) is there docs for the ghostscript stuff ? has anyone looked at the relevant
part of the gs source or
Re: Fwd: Re: Mandrake and KDe frontend
Hi, Matthias. I've been reading this discussion with interest. As one of the guys doing this coding, I feel it has some relevance to me!! The only point I don't understand is why you believe the GUI-Independence stuff is limiting? The LyX kernel knows nothing about the GUI. It just emits a few SigC++ signals. The toolkit is free to connect these signals anyway it wants. The only exception to this is the tollbar/menubar and that's because Jean-Marc, who wrote that code, felt he didn't know enough about signals/slots to do it that way. He did ask for someone to look at the code and convert it, but nobody's done so yet. Our bser of coders is far smaller than yours it would appear. This "two weeks and all will be done" sounds a little ambitious --- but not much. I ported all those Inset dialogs over to the frontends in about two months and now the knowledge base is there they take a day or so of part time coding to do each new one. Whichever way we go eventually --- and, to be honest, I don't mind! --- stripping out the GUI from the kernel is a good thing to do IMO. And we plan to have it finished before the next release (ie, the one after 1.1.6, due imminently.) No need to be too angry therefore! Angus

Bug report (margin note deletion)
Try the following scenario: 1. Open a new document (an existing one will work too). 2. Create a margin note (The same happens with a footnote too). 3. Close it and place the cursor just before the margine note. 4. Press the 'Delete' key. 5. Find in the console the message: "ERROR (LyXParagraph::Erase): can't erase non-existant char." I don't remember seeing this in previous versions. Debug printing shows that pos==0 and size()==0 so obviously pos is not less than size() and pos is not greater than size(), this is a case that is not handled in the function (LyXParagraph::Erase), Furthermore if the size is the size of the paragraph, returning size()==0 is dubious since there is a margin note inside, it cant be zero. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://www.redrival.com/jindor/(My brothers ADD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!

You wouldn't add something to the lyx1.1.5 docs which would then have to be added to 1.1.6. (I could imagine wanting to merge the other way, if someone sent in a patch with documentation for a feature that's been around for a while but never had docs before. But that should be pretty easy, and can be handled on a case by case basis.) -Amir
LyX does still not compile
Hello, For a long time LyX (both 1.1.6cvs and 1.1.5fix?) has failed to compile formula.C using various versions of the gcc-2.96-x compiler. Is the compiler, epecilaay the C++-libraries faulty or is it possible to change the code itself? Trying with ./configure results in an error reported earlier (Oct 8). ./configure --with-included-string results in an error also reported earlier (Aug 8), see compiler output below.

1.1.6 testing ...
I spent some time testing last friday's CVS, and these are some
things I noticed. Plenty of this is IMHO of course, and more of it is
just questions I will answer/fix myself if no-one beats me to it.
Basically this is my personal bugzilla, so feel free to answer WORKSFORME,
FIXED, WONTFIX, NOTABUG etc. :)
1) Opening the preferences dialog without any document open prints this
on the minibuffer :
(Command not allowed without any document open (dialog-preferences))
2) on using prefs dialog :
FormPreferences::Colors::LoadBrowserLyX: can't find color
"offwhite". This shouldn't happen!
3) its very easy to confuse xforms by resizing the prefs dialog (yes I
have opaque resize on).
xforms 0.88. I imagine there is no simple fix. Also resizing doesn't
resize the tab folders themselves. Is this covered by the new entry
in BUGS.lyx ?
4) feature request - it would be nice if the colour box updated as I
dragged the RGB/HSV sliders, so I can see immediately the colour I am
generating.
5) ert may be an amusing name for the colour object, but users may well
not know. Also it can be inaccurate ... :)
6) the help messages "Set to false" should be "De-select" IMHO -
much clearer.
7) is it possible to alter the numbers in the spinboxes (e.g. zoom %)
directly ? This is especially pertinent for "auto-save" where cycling
down to 0 takes forever. For this particular case, I think an explicit
disable would be good.
8) what's the point in Spell command -> "none" ?
9) wouldn't it make sense for ispell dictionary browser to default to
home directory ?
10) the "not the" compound spellcheck example is just likely to baffle people
IMHO. How about "disk drive" or something real ?
11) Is "Usage" the best tab name ? What is wrong with "Language Options" ?
12) Usage->Language->Keyboard appears aligned funny here ...
13) Converters->Formats->Modify should be Apply IMHO.
14) Should I be allowed to delete formats/convertors without confirmation ?
15) Inputs->Paths->Temp dir tells me "This directory is deleted when
you quit LyX". This isn't right surely ? LyX has no business trying to delete
/tmp or any other directory IMHO.
16) What does turning off the Temp dir checkbox do anyway ?
17) Outputs->Printer->adapt output - what's the point of this ? Surely
if a printer name is entered, it will need passing to lpr or whatever ?
If it is equal to $PRINTER, no matter ...
18) I suppose Printer Flags could do with some more descriptive help
messages ?
19) Has checktex defaulted to "none" because I don't have it installed
? Shouldn't it just be blank ?
20) apparently I have pretty ref package installed, but using it in LyX
gives LaTeX errors :
[...] \usepackage{prettyref}
\begin{document}
\section{wfwfwqfwq\label{wfwfwfwfwf}}
fefewfew\prettyref{wfwfwfwfwf} \end{document}
gives :
Runaway argument?
\end {document} ! File ended while scanning use of \@prettyref.
\par
tetex-latex-1.0.7-6mdk
21) If I run without a personal LyX directory, I can still Save changes
in the prefs dialog - shouldn't the
dialog be read-only in this case ? It leaves the prefs files in
$HOME otherwise.
22) opening, say, the URL in splash.lyx and then clicking on OK gives
"OkCancelReadOnlyPolicy: No transition for input 2 from state 0"
23) prettyref should be disabled if the user doesn't have it in their
latex config. I intend to do a small patch
for KDE soon so I'll do xforms at the same time if it's obvious. The
same applies to various other frontend things I expect.
24) this one has bugged me for a while - if you are selecting text by
dragging the mouse, and you end selection by
releasing the button above an inset, that is registered as a click
on the inset, and the dialog (if relevant) will pop up. Quite
annoying... xforms bug ?
25) the tooltip for the table dialog says "Open Insert Tabular Dialog". It
should just be "Insert Table" to go with
"Insert Figure". Similarly, Insert->tabular should be Insert->Table
IMHO.
26) in maths mode, go superscript, carry on typing, go superscript
again. The cursor runs away with itself and gets too far
in front.
27) IMHO "Warning: language `default' not recognized! Setting language to
`english'" should be "Warning: setting language 'default'
to 'english'", because the prior sounds like the user has done
something wrong.
28) Similarly "Unable to show Latex logfile !" sounds a bit more exciting
than it actually is (e.g. the user just hasn't run latex yet). IMHO
"No LaTeX log file found" sounds better ...
29) I can write into Layout->paragraph->Label width, even when it's
"Senseless with this layout !"
30) when I switch between the bullet depths, the latex changes but it
doesn't move to the correct bullet "window". can this be done easily ?
31) isn't there duplication between Edit->spellchecker->options and the
prefs dialog ?
32) What are the mysterious two
The never-ending gs process hang saga ...
What is the status of the "gs process hangs" bug ?
ghostscript-5.50-9mdk, xforms 0.88
I noticed Lars' comment in spellchecker.C (!). I have a good way to
reproduce at least one of the symptoms :
1) find a big, slow eps and add it to a lyx file.
2) whilst it is loading (quickly now ;) click on Help->Version, and wait
3) After a while, close trhe dial, and it will hang
You need to be quick enough to reach Help->Version before it finishes
displaying.
moz src 116 ps alx | grep gs
000 500 933 931 9 0 5332 3036 d_path Sttyp1 0:00 /usr/bin/gs
^^ ^
d_path() seems an odd place to be waiting to me, I can't see any obvious
sleeping points. Possibly this is the wrong symbol ... (d_path() is
used in the kernel to return a string pathname "/like/this/file").
Now, having found a testcase, I was intrigued if it could be narrowed
down at all. Of course I ended up baffled :) My first thought was that
figinset.C:BrowseFile() was responsible. I was right - commenting out
BrowseFile() on line 1756 removed the bug.
This confused me as BrowseFile() looked utterly harmless, so I thought
maybe it's XForms being funny.
We use a "figinset_canvas" to communicate with the ghostscript process,
and install a handler "GhostscriptMsg" for that FL_OBJECT. This handler
looks out for ClientMessages that signify gs is done. I don't have
any docs for the property change stuff, but it looks to me that we do
something like :
1) wait until the properties are unused (i.e. wait for gs processes to finish)
2) add the relevant gs info to the window properties
3) set up an environment with the window id containing the properties
4) run gs
And gs will read off the properties and notify eventually via a
ClientMessage (which xforms will pass on to the figinset canvas).
So I added a load of debugging gubbins, and discovered that, yes, the
difference between the two cases are in fact that this client message
never arrives in the broken case. At this point I suspected xforms
strongly of being buggy (ha !) and installed a "pre" event handler for
this window. Confusingly, nothing of interest ever comes through this
pre handler (and indeed, trying an xev -id comes
up blank too) in EITHER case.
At the very least I would expect to see ClientMessages being shown (I
checked, it is definitely that window ID that the ClientMessages are
generated for).
I really don't understand this bit at all - it doesn't make any sense
for a ClientMessage to be delivered, but not reported by xev OR the pre
handler !
For a while I thought I was on to a winner, when I noticed that
all the dialogs that seem to make a difference were encompassed by
Prohibit/AllowInput(). However, commenting out the *Input() didn't fix
the bug, but commenting out the fl_show_message() or whatever did.
So like many before me I'm sure :), I have reached an impasse. It seems
that when you open certain forms, (and which ones seem to be arbitrary,
despite the Prohibit/Allow input stuff), then xforms will trash the
ClientMessage.
Interestingly, if you open a guilty dialog (say Version) then close it
again before the rendering is done, then it *still* won't render. This
implies that the dialog opening is resetting something about which events
are being delivered to the X event loop inside xforms. A theory backed up
by the fact that, after it breaks, it stays broken, and no ClientMessages
ever get through.
This is either a matter of XSelectInput() or XMaskEvent() and friends
and some internal state. It all depends on what xforms inner event loop
does. Experiments with sending ClientMessages myself directly before
fl_show_message("Version message") didn't help much :
SendEvent
ProhibitInput
SendEvent
SendEvent
fl_show_message()
SendEvent
AllowInput
SendEvent
produced two delivered ClientMessages. Interestingly it showed that a
"pre" handler, contrary to the documentation, does not get invoked prior
to xforms getting its mitts on the event - I got a "GhostscriptMsg"
from the Canvas handler *before* the pre handler message ! Yet another
xforms bug I suppose. Even more bizarrely, it is invoked for *other*
FL_OBJECTs. e.g.
fl_set_object_prehandler(figinset_canvas, GSPreHandler); // figinset_canvas id =
0x3800098
will output a win of say 0x3800074, which is a totally different window !
Also, experiments proved it wasn't an issue with the figinset_canvas -
I changed figinset to temporarily use the WorkArea window to communicate,
and still the ClientMessages of interest got dropped. However, I was also
delivering ClientMessages when WorkArea::setScrollBar() was invoked -
these got through ! Maybe xforms is dropping all ClientMessages of a
certain ev.xclient.message_type ? (My scrollbar one used 404040 decimal,
whereas gs ClientMessages get delivered with a value of "503").
My questions :
1) is there docs for the ghostscript stuff ? has anyone looked at the relevant
part of the gs source or asked the developers
Re: Fwd: Re: Mandrake and KDe frontend
Hi, Matthias. I've been reading this discussion with interest. As one of the guys doing this coding, I feel it has some relevance to me!! The only point I don't understand is why you believe the GUI-Independence stuff is limiting? The LyX kernel knows nothing about the GUI. It just emits a few SigC++ signals. The toolkit is free to connect these signals anyway it wants. The only exception to this is the tollbar/menubar and that's because Jean-Marc, who wrote that code, felt he didn't know enough about signals/slots to do it that way. He did ask for someone to look at the code and convert it, but nobody's done so yet. Our bser of coders is far smaller than yours it would appear. This "two weeks and all will be done" sounds a little ambitious --- but not much. I ported all those Inset dialogs over to the frontends in about two months and now the knowledge base is there they take a day or so of part time coding to do each new one. Whichever way we go eventually --- and, to be honest, I don't mind! --- stripping out the GUI from the kernel is a good thing to do IMO. And we plan to have it finished before the next release (ie, the one after 1.1.6, due imminently.) No need to be too angry therefore! Angus

Do not apply the patch as the fix is not good. A correct fix should perhaps change all the LyXParagraph methods that receive a 'BufferParams &' parameter, to receive 'Buffer &' parameter.
gnome: update patch
Hi! this small patch allows to compile and link gnome frontend version. I've added some new xforms object files to the appropriate list in gnome/Makefile.am and a new signal is added in Dialogs.C as it is in the xforms version. Marko patch.gnome.201100.gz

The contents are buffer-dependent (eg the insets. One might argue that the text is also!) And it's a simple matter to change/check the buffer when pasting the LyXParagraph to another buffer.

The problem here is the Undo-buffering and more stuff we have Buffer-depend more we have to look. Also insets should be buffer-dependent anymore! They don't save the Buffer inside (or shouldn't if they do!), better to pass a parameter then you don't have to check if you've always the right value buffered just use the parameter value which should be always valid!

PATCH: FormPreferences and some other things...
Attached is a patch that fixes the problems with the Colors tab. It's big only because of some reformatting of FormPreferences. it also addresses some of the points made recently by John Levon. I think that this clears the way for 1.1.6pre2. Lars? Angus patch20Nov2000.bz2

Greetings, This snippet appeared in the lyx-docs list a week or so ago, and echoes the concerns I expressed in the devel group a few weeks back. Since I have actually received at least one doc patch from a developer specific to 1.1.6 (name withheld to protect his developer reputation :-), I would like to formally request that a new CVS branch be made for lyxdoc - probably with "lyxdoc" for the new documentation and "lyxdoc_1.1.5" for the 1.1.5 stuff, similar to the source code branches, and with the same user access as now. Lars, (and/or whoever else controls this stuff), can this be done soon? (Is this something that I could in principle do? I'm pretty ignorant of the magic of CVS ...) Any arguments to the contrary?

Bug report (margin note deletion)
Try the following scenario: 1. Open a new document (an existing one will work too). 2. Create a margin note (The same happens with a footnote too). 3. Close it and place the cursor just before the margine note. 4. Press the 'Delete' key. 5. Find in the console the message: "ERROR (LyXParagraph::Erase): can't erase non-existant char." I don't remember seeing this in previous versions. Debug printing shows that pos==0 and size()==0 so obviously pos is not less than size() and pos is not greater than size(), this is a case that is not handled in the function (LyXParagraph::Erase), Furthermore if the size is the size of the paragraph, returning size()==0 is dubious since there is a margin note inside, it cant be zero. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://www.redrival.com/jindor/(My brothers AD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!

That sounds like a good branching. > Lars, (and/or whoever else controls this stuff), can this be done > soon? (Is this something that I could in principle do?

You can definitely make your own branches -- Allan did for GUI stuff, e.g. As for how, I'd suggest Ring TFM, although if you're lucky Lars will give you some info for free. (I would give you info for free if I had a clue.) I think it's pretty easy, though. Merging seems to be the difficult part, but the exciting aspect of lyxdoc is that AFAICT you'll never have to merge, because any new feature will be put into the trunk. You wouldn't add something to the lyx1.1.5 docs which would then have to be added to 1.1.6. (I could imagine wanting to merge the other way, if someone sent in a patch with documentation for a feature that's been around for a while but never had docs before. But that should be pretty easy, and can be handled on a case by case basis.) -Amir
LyX does still not compile
Hello, For a long time LyX (both 1.1.6cvs and 1.1.5fix?) has failed to compile formula.C using various versions of the gcc-2.96-x compiler. Is the compiler, epecilaay the C++-libraries faulty or is it possible to change the code itself? Trying with ./configure results in an error reported earlier (Oct 8). ./configure --with-included-string results in an error also reported earlier (Aug 8), see compiler output below. Below is the output of todays (Nov 20) CVS and gcc-2.96-60 from RawHide: (sooner or later I really would like to compile and use LyX again) ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src/mathed' /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I../../images -I./../ -I../.. -I../.. -I../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -g -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -Wconversion -Winline -c formula.C g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I../../images -I./../ -I../.. -I../.. -I../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -g -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -Wconversion -Winline -Wp,-MD,.deps/formula.pp -c formula.C -o formula.o In file included from ../../src/Lsstream.h:17, from formula.C:19: /usr/include/g++-3/sstream: In method `int stringbuf::sync ()': /usr/include/g++-3/sstream:171: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions In file included from formula.C:30: ../../src/minibuffer.h: At top level: ../../src/minibuffer.h:17: using directive `Object' introduced ambiguous type `_ObjectRec *' make[3]: *** [formula.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src/mathed' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 ./configure --with-included-string; make make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src/mathed' /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I../../images -I./../ -I../.. -I../.. -I../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -g -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -Wconversion -Winline -c formula.C g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I../../images -I./../ -I../.. -I../.. -I../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -g -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -Wconversion -Winline -Wp,-MD,.deps/formula.pp -c formula.C -o formula.o In file included from ../../src/gettext.h:35, from ../../src/insets/lyxinset.h:22, from formula.h:26, from formula.C:24: ../../src/LString.h:20:2: #error The header has been included before LString.h make[3]: *** [formula.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src/mathed' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/sdc3/lyx-devel/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
