Hi, I just wanted to put the 'replace all' stuff into 1.1. I changed form1.fd with fdesign, did "make -f makefile.eigen". It failed, I had to remove credits_form.fd from the makefile (otherwise: "no rule to make target credits_form.c"). Now it seemed to work. Lyx compiled, but linking failed wit

I think that the different front ends should be completely open! Any porter should decide which way to implement the LyX interface, IMO. This could encourage more evolution of the LyX interface, and also provide an incentive to have different front ends. If all interfaces are equal, there is li
