These four steps will compile, test and install LyX:
- 0) Linux users beware: You need qt4 and qt4-devel packages
+ 0) Linux users beware: You need qt4/5 and qt4/5-devel packages
of the same version to compile LyX.
In general, it is also recommended to have pkg-config
(for example, "--with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt4/") if the
environment variable QTDIR is not set and pkg-config is not
available.
+ You will need --enable-qt5 switch for choosing qt5 over qt4.
See Note below if ./configure script is not present.
-----------------------------
If you have checked this out from Git, you need to have:
-* automake (supported versions are 1.8--1.15)
-* autoconf (supported versions are 2.60--2.69)
+* automake (supported versions are 1.14--1.16)
+* autoconf (supported versions are 2.65--2.69)
Then type "./autogen.sh" to build the needed configuration
files and proceed as stated above/below.
--without-included-boost is specified). You may have to use
--disable-stdlib-debug when linking development versions against
your system's boost library.
+ The same problem applies to hunspell (as of hunspell 1.5). So either
+ compile --with-included-hunspell or --disable-stdlib-debug when
+ linking development versions against your system's hunspell library.
o --enable-monolithic-build[=boost,client,insets,mathed,core,tex2lyx,frontend-qt4]
that enables monolithic build of the given parts of the source
