In order to interact with native osx applications, AppleScript support is a plus.
Here is a patch that makes LyX respond to a simple command (run) and that allows to communicate with LyX as with the LyX client.
Example of use:
tell application "LyX" to run "server-get-filename" with argument ""'
returns
message:/Users/bpiwowar/newfile1.lyx, code:0
with a message and the error code
* development/MacOSX/Makefile.am: when installing, create bogus
language directories to allow translation through Qt.
* src/frontends/qt4/GuiApplication.cpp (MenuTranslator): new class,
redirects some Qt translation requests to gettext.
(GuiApplication): install the MenuTranslator.
