Building LyX/Mac
Ronald Florence <ron@18james.com>
LyX/Mac is built from the LyX source, the GPL-licensed Trolltech
Qt/Mac library, and a custom application bundle. Qt-3.2.3 and
later versions align the button labels in the Math Panel better
under MacOS-10.3, but present other problems. Qt-3.1.2 as patched
here is fully functional.
You will need the MacOSX development tools. The procedure
described here builds LyX linked with a static Qt library. If you
are using the tcsh shell, change the "export VAR=value" statements
to "setenv VAR value".
1. Download the GPL-licensed Qt/Mac library source code from
<ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/qt-mac-free-3.1.2.sit>, untar in
a convenient directory, cd to the top of the Qt source hierarcy,
and:
export QTDIR=`pwd`
patch -p0 < LYX-SOURCE-DIRECTORY/development/MacOSX/qt.patch
sudo gcc_select 3.3
./configure -static [for Panther, use "./configure -static -lresolv"]
make
2. Using the same terminal session, cd to the top of the LyX
source hierarchy, and:
export LDFLAGS="-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framework QuickTime -lz"
./configure --with-frontend=qt --without-x --datadir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources --bindir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS --mandir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/man
make
cp -R development/MacOSX/LyX.app /Applications
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/Mac installs LaTeX fonts and packages, and provides
additional functionality including inverse DVI search with some
DVI-previewers.
