Comment 2 Jose M. Alcaide 2000-09-04 00:08:13 UTC 
I found that gmake is involved in this problem. If make(1) is used,
LyX is linked fine. It seems that gmake invokes the configure script
(for second time) just before starting the compilation. This second
invocation overwrites src/Makefile with a broken makefile which does
not include any "-lintl". I don't know why gmake invokes configure again.
This can be easily tested: type "make configure", and then check
src/Makefile: lyx_LDADD includes "-lintl". Then, type "make" to continue
building the port, and see how the configure script runs again. Interrupt
the compilation, and check again src/Makefile: "-lintl" is gone...

However, deleting "USE_GMAKE=yes" from the port's Makefile is not a
definitive solution. LyX is successfully built, indeed, but the
installation fails (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=20516).

I think that this port is suffering the chaos inherent to Linux and some
GNU tools :-(

There is also an ugly workaround: add "--with-included-gettext" to
CONFIGURE_ARGS in the port's Makefile.

Please test the latest version of the lyx port and tell me if the 
problem still exists:

Timeout error... ;-) 

Other users reported that it works, now.
