Building LyX on Aqua
Ronald Florence <ron@18james.com>
Make sure you have installed the MacOSX development tools. The
procedure described here builds LyX-1.3.3 linked with a static Qt
library and installs the LyX and Start-LyX applications.
Download the GPL-licensed MacOSX Qt library source code from
ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-mac-free-3.1.2.sit. Untar the
.tar.gz file in a convenient directory in /usr/local/src or
/usr/local. Then open a terminal, cd to the Qt source directory,
apply the patch development/MacOSX/qt.patch, and:
% setenv QTDIR `pwd`
% sudo gcc_select 2
% ./configure -static
% make
% sudo gcc_select 3
% mkdir lib/unused
% mv lib/*.dylib lib/unused
To avoid this compiler-changing procedure in the future, you might
want to write Apple to urge that they fix bug ID #3162425 so the
default gcc-3.1 compiler can be used to compile LyX-1.3.x on MacOSX.
Using the same terminal session you used to build the Qt libraries
(or if you start a new terminal, set the QTDIR environment variable
as above), cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy. Then:
% setenv CXX g++2
% setenv LDFLAGS "-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framew
ork QuickTime -lz"
% ./configure --with-frontend=qt --without-x --datadir=/Applications/LyX.app
/Contents/Resources --bindir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS --mandir=/App
lications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/man
% make
Download the LyX Framework at
http://www.18james.com/code/LyX.tar.gz and run the installer. Then
in the terminal where you built LyX:
% make install
% cp development/MacOSX/lyx.xpm /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/images/lyx.xpm
Please see the LyX on Aqua howto at
http://www.18james.com/lyx_on_aqua.html for information on
configuring LyX on Aqua. The binary installation of LyX on Aqua
installs ~/.MacOS/environment.plist and the TeX math fonts; you
will need to do this configuration manually if you build LyX
yourself.
