These four steps will compile, test and install LyX:
0) Linux users beware: if compiling the Qt frontend, you need
- qt and qt-devel packages of the same version to compile LyX.
+ qt4 and qt4-devel packages of the same version to compile LyX.
1) ./configure
configures LyX according to your system.
When compiling for Qt, you may have to set
- --with-qt-dir=<path-to-your-qt-installation>
+ --with-qt4-dir=<path-to-your-qt4-installation>
if the environment variable QTDIR is not set.
2) make
-----------------------------
If you have checked this out from Subversion, you need to have:
-* automake >= 1.9
+* automake >= 1.5
* autoconf >= 2.52
* gettext >= 0.12
Then type "./autogen.sh" to build the needed configuration
will have to install the STLPort version of these libraries as the
ones that come with gcc 2.95.x are too broken for us to use.

make is that you must ensure that both LyX and the Qt libraries are
compiled with the same C++ compiler.
