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 3.1.2 library source code from
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/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
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
% rm /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/images/lyx.xpm
For information on configuring LyX/Mac, please see the howto at
http://www.18james.com/lyx_on_aqua.html . The binary installation
of LyX on Aqua sets the PATH in ~/.MacOS/environment.plist,
installs the LyX math fonts, configures LyX to use the reLyX and
noweb2lyx commands in the application package and to use system
defaults for viewers, sets up the lyxpipe for Start-LyX, and
optionally installs latex-preview; you will need to do this
configuration manually if you build LyX/Mac yourself.
