********** WARNING **********
This file is out-dated!
Its description is based on the xforms frontend, which was dropped in
LyX 1.5. This file should eventually be adjusted to the qt4 frontend.
*****************************
Here is what to do to make a binary rpm using the spec file lyx.spec.
The description below apply only to the Intel platform, but only minor
changes should be needed for other platforms.
1) Install xforms-88 or later. You can find an xforms-0.88 rpm
at
ftp://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub
2) Install LaTeX. You can do this using rpms (you need tetex-xdvi,
tetex, tetex-latex) from your RH distribution.
3) Copy lyx.spec to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
4) Copy lyx-1.0.0.tar.gz to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
5) Issue the command
rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/lyx.spec
This builds the binary rpm, and puts it in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386.
Note that building lyx requires about 35M free space on your disk.
6) Now install the package:
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
If you get dependency errors about xforms or tetex, then you need to
use the --nodeps option (because you installed xforms or tetex not in
rpm form):
rpm -Uvh --nodeps /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
You should not get any more errors.
