When compiling for Qt, you may have to set
--with-qt4-dir=<path-to-your-qt4-installation>
if the environment variable QTDIR is not set.
+ See Note below if ./configure script is not present.
2) make
compiles the program.
if you want a smaller binary.

+Note for Subversion (SVN) checkouts
-----------------------------
If you have checked this out from Subversion, you need to have:
--with-extra-lib=DIRECTORY/lib --with-extra-inc=DIRECTORY/include
If DIRECTORY is not specified, the current prefix is used.
- o --with-version-suffix will install LyX as lyx-<version>, e.g. lyx-1.6.1
- The LyX data directory will be something like <whatever>/lyx-1.6.1/.
- Additionally your user configuration files will be found in e.g.
- $HOME/.lyx-1.6.1
+ o --with-version-suffix[=VERSION] will install LyX as lyx-VERSION,
+ e.g. lyx-1.6.1. The LyX data directory will be something like
+ <whatever>/lyx-1.6.1/. Additionally your user configuration files
+ will be found in e.g. $HOME/.lyx-1.6.1
You can use this feature to install more than one version of LyX
on the same system. You can optionally specify a "version" of your
want to use. The default value is qt4, which is the only available
frontend for now.
+ o --enable-monolithic-[boost,client,insets,mathed,core,tex2lyx,frontend-qt4]
+ that enable monolithic build of the given part of the source code. This
+ should reduce the compilation time provided you have enough memory
+ (>500MB).
