6 LyX/Mac is built from the LyX source, the GPL-licensed Trolltech
7 Qt/Mac library, and a custom application bundle. Qt-3.2.3 and
8 later versions align the button labels in the Math Panel better
9 under MacOS-10.3, but present other problems. Qt-3.1.2 as patched
10 here is fully functional.
12 You will need the MacOSX development tools. The procedure
13 described here builds LyX linked with a static Qt library. If you
14 are using the tcsh shell, change the "export VAR=value" statements
15 to "setenv VAR value".
17 1. Download the GPL-licensed Qt/Mac library source code from
18 <ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/qt-mac-free-3.1.2.sit>, untar in
19 a convenient directory, cd to the top of the Qt source hierarcy,
23 patch -p0 < LYX-SOURCE-DIRECTORY/development/MacOSX/qt.patch
25 ./configure -static [for Panther, use "./configure -static -lresolv"]
28 2. Using the same terminal session, cd to the top of the LyX
29 source hierarchy, and:
31 export LDFLAGS="-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framework QuickTime -lz"
32 ./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
34 cp -R development/MacOSX/LyX.app /Applications
36 rm /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/images/lyx.xpm
