-"setenv VAR value".
+here builds LyX linked with a static Qt library. 

 
 

-1. Download the GPL-licensed Qt/Mac Free Edition library source code
-from <http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/mac.html>, untar in a
-convenient directory, cd to the top of the Qt source hierarcy, and:
+PREREQUISITES

 
 

-     export QTDIR=`pwd`
-     sudo gcc_select 3.3
-     ./configure -static -no-exceptions   [for Panther, use "./configure -static -no-exceptions -lresolv"]
+1. Qt/Mac Free Edition, version 4. This library is GPL-licensed
+and can be downloaded from
+<http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/mac.html>. You will need to 
+compile it yourself (as described below).
+
+2. automake, version 1.9 or higher (check with automake --version). 
+Probably the easiest way to get this is to use DarwinPorts (from
+http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/) and install automake
+using
+    sudo port install automake
+
+3.  gettext version >= 0.12 (check with gettext --version)
+If the installed version is insufficient the 
+easiest way to obtain a later version is to get DarwinPorts 
+(from http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/) and install gettext 
+using
+     sudo port install gettext
+
+
+BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
+
+Note that building LyX/Mac requires gcc version 4.0 or higher. (You
+can check your version  by entering "gcc -v" in the Terminal; you
+can change your gcc version to version 4.0, for example, by entering
+"sudo gcc_select 4.0".)
+
+1. Create a directory where you want to install QT4. In the following, 
+the full path to this directory is called /path/to/QT4
+Decompress Qt/Mac in a convenient directory, cd to the top of the
+Qt source hierarcy, and:
+
+     ./configure -static -no-exceptions -nomake examples -nomake tools -prefix /path/to/QT4

      make
      make

-     rm lib/libqt.la
+     make install
+     cd /path/to/QT4/lib
+     rm *.la
+     
+If you don't prescribe -nomake examples -nomake tools in the
+configuration you need to make sure you have some 20+ GB of free hard
+disk space. Else the installation is about 1GB.
