tcsh shell, change the "export VAR=value" statements to
"setenv VAR value".
-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
+
+1. Qt/Mac Free Edition, version 3.3. 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. The easiest way to get this is
+to use FinkCommander, which can be downloaded from
+<http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/>.
+
+BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
+
+Note that building LyX/Mac requires gcc version 3.3 or higher. (You
+can check your version by entering "gcc -v" in the Terminal; you
+can change your gcc version to version 3.3, for example, by entering
+"sudo gcc_select 3.3".)
+
+1. Decompress Qt/Mac in a convenient directory, cd to the top of the
+Qt source hierarcy, and:
export QTDIR=`pwd`
- sudo gcc_select 3.3
- ./configure -static -no-exceptions [for Panther, use "./configure -static -no-exceptions -lresolv"]
+ ./configure -static -no-exceptions -lresolv [for OS X 10.2, use "./configure -static -no-exceptions"]
make
rm lib/libqt.la
2. The LyX/Mac application bundle skeleton (LyX.app) can be found in
-development/MacOSX. This bundle should be moved to some convenient
-place. (These instructions assume it is placed in /Applications and
-named LyX.app.)
+the LyX source hierarchy at development/MacOSX. The default settings
+assume that this bundle has been moved to /Applications and is named
+LyX.app. You can rename it or move it somewhere else, but make sure
+you read the note in step 3.
3. Using the same terminal session you used to build the Qt library,
cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and:
export LDFLAGS="-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framework QuickTime -lz"
- ./configure --with-frontend=qt --without-x --prefix=/Applications/LyX.app --enable-maintainer-mode --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-Os --disable-concept-checks
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure --with-frontend=qt --without-x --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-Os --disable-concept-checks
+
+[Note: If you have moved or renamed the LyX/Mac application bundle
+skeleton, you will need to add "--prefix=/path/to/LyX.app"
+(substituting the appropriate path, of course) to this ./configure
+line. (If you do not specify anything for --prefix, the default is
+--prefix=/Applications/LyX.app.)]
+
make
make install
- rm /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/images/lyx.xpm
-[Note that removing lyx.xpm -- the point of the last line above -- is
-necessary for the Mac OS X native icon files included in the LyX/Mac
-skeleton to be used.]
