7 Make sure you have installed the MacOSX development tools. The
8 procedure described here builds LyX-1.3.3 linked with a static Qt
9 library and installs the LyX and Start-LyX applications.
11 Download the GPL-licensed MacOSX Qt 3.1.2 library source code from
12 ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/qt-mac-free-3.1.2.sit. Untar the
13 .tar.gz file in a convenient directory in /usr/local/src or
14 /usr/local. Then open a terminal, cd to the Qt source directory,
15 apply the patch development/MacOSX/qt.patch, and:
23 To avoid this compiler-changing procedure in the future, you might
24 want to write Apple to urge that they fix bug ID #3162425 so the
25 default gcc-3.1 compiler can be used to compile LyX-1.3.x on MacOSX.
27 Using the same terminal session you used to build the Qt libraries
28 (or if you start a new terminal, set the QTDIR environment variable
29 as above), cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy. Then:
32 % setenv LDFLAGS "-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framew
34 % ./configure --with-frontend=qt --without-x --datadir=/Applications/LyX.app
35 /Contents/Resources --bindir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS --mandir=/App
36 lications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/man
39 Download the LyX Framework at
40 http://www.18james.com/code/LyX.tar.gz and run the installer. Then
41 in the terminal where you built LyX:
44 % rm /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/images/lyx.xpm
46 For information on configuring LyX/Mac, please see the howto at
47 http://www.18james.com/lyx_on_aqua.html . The binary installation
48 of LyX on Aqua sets the PATH in ~/.MacOS/environment.plist,
49 installs the LyX math fonts, configures LyX to use the reLyX and
50 noweb2lyx commands in the application package and to use system
51 defaults for viewers, sets up the lyxpipe for Start-LyX, and
52 optionally installs latex-preview; you will need to do this
53 configuration manually if you build LyX/Mac yourself.
