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 qt-4.2.2 or later. If you are using RPMs, make sure to install
|
|
the qt-devel packages as well.
|
|
|
|
2) Install LaTeX. You can do this using RPMs from your distribution that
|
|
might be split in multiple packages (e.g. texlive, texlive-latex),
|
|
or you can install TeXLive straight from the DVD.
|
|
|
|
3) Copy lyx.spec to the SPECS directory (on Redhat, this is located at
|
|
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS, on other systems at /usr/src/packages/SPECS)
|
|
|
|
4) Copy the tarball (lyx-2.x.y.tar.gz) to your SOURCES directory (located
|
|
in the same path as SPECS, e.g. /usr/src/packages/SOURCES).
|
|
|
|
5) Issue the command
|
|
|
|
rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/lyx.spec
|
|
|
|
(adjust the path if needed)
|
|
|
|
This builds the binary rpm, and puts it in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386
|
|
(alternatively in /i586 or /x86_64, depending on your system).
|
|
Note that building lyx requires about 150M free space on your disk.
|
|
|
|
6) Now install the package:
|
|
|
|
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-2.x.y-1.i386.rpm
|
|
|
|
(again, adjust the path and filename as needed)
|
|
|
|
If you get dependency errors about qt4 or tetex/texlive, then you need to
|
|
use the --nodeps option (because you installed qt4 or TeX not in
|
|
rpm form):
|
|
|
|
rpm -Uvh --nodeps /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-2.x.y-1.i386.rpm
|
|
|
|
(again, adjust the path and filename as needed)
|
|
|
|
You should not get any more errors.
