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.
