Compile failure

[Christopher Menzel]

I'm trying to compile from the latest sources.  I've done this  
successfully several times in the past and I am (I think) following  
the instructions in INSTALL.MacOSX correctly.  I have compiled and  
installed the latest QT/Mac (4.3.2).  I've set the appropriate env  
vars etc and believe I have all the config parameters right.

Nonetheless I'm getting the following error (well into the compile):

g++ -g -Os -framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -
framework QuickTime -framework Cocoa -o lyx main.o ISpell.o  
SpellBase.o Box.o Dimension.o PrinterParams.o Thesaurus.o -Wl,-

make[3]: *** [lyx] Error 1

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

this is not compile error, but linking problem. i guess you need to set path
to qt4 in configure (if this is used on mac).

This is something for the developers mailing-list.

Yes, a good suggesetion, but the curious thing is that I am setting it.

whats the exact configure command you use ?
where is placed your libQtCore.so ?

For compiling Qt:

./configure -static -no-exceptions -nomake examples -nomake tools -
nomake demos -prefix /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.2/

For compiling LyX:

./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX.app  --with-version-suffix=-1.5  
--without-x --with-qt4-dir=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.2 --with-
included-gettext --enable-optimization=-Os

I've also tried configuring with "--with-extra-lib=/usr/local/
Trolltech/Qt-4.3.2/lib", just in case.

Hm.  The compile and install of Qt seemed flawless, but I can't find  
that file:

root [/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.2]
153: find . -name *QtCore*
./include/Qt/QtCore
./include/QtCore
./include/QtCore/QtCore
./lib/libQtCore.a
./lib/libQtCore.prl
./lib/libQtCore_debug.a
./lib/libQtCore_debug.prl
./lib/pkgconfig/QtCore.pc
./lib/pkgconfig/QtCore_debug.pc
./lib/QtCore.framework
./lib/QtCore.framework/QtCore
./lib/QtCore.framework/QtCore.prl
./lib/QtCore.framework/QtCore_debug
./lib/QtCore.framework/QtCore_debug.prl
./lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/Headers/QtCore
./lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore
./lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore_debug

(But I also don't see it in the lib dir of the version of Qt 4.2.3  
that I compiled and used the last time I compiled LyX from sources.)

i know nothing of libraries on osx, but just shot in the dark - what happens
without "-static" ?
