well.

+1. Qt/Mac Opensource Edition, version 4.
+This library is GPL-licensed and can be downloaded from
<http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/mac/>. To compile it,
create a directory where you want to install QT4. In the following,
the full path to this directory is called /path/to/QT4
./configure -static -no-exceptions -nomake examples -nomake tools -nomake demos -prefix /path/to/QT4
make
make install
- cd /path/to/QT4/lib
- rm *.la
+ rm /path/to/QT4/lib/*.la
+
+ with Qt4.6.2 and snow leopard it becomes:
+
+ CC=gcc-4.0 OBJC=gcc-4.0 CXX=g++-4.0\
+ ./configure -opensource -silent -static -release -universal -fast\
+ -sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk\

+ -nomake tools\
+ -prefix /path/to/QT4
+ make
+ make install
2. [Needed only for developmental builds:] automake, version 1.10
or higher (check with automake --version). Probably the easiest
sudo port install pkgconfig
+5. To build with included spell checker (ASpell):
+The aspell library is GPL-licensed and can be downloaded from
+ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell or one of the mirrors.
+At the time of writing aspell-0.60.tar.gz is the current version.
+Unpack the tarball in the same directory where you placed the
+svn checkout or LyX tarball.

BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
In what follows, /path/to/LyX.app is the location where you want LyX
make
make install-strip
-(Note that the --with-version-suffix=-1.6 option will result in LyX's
-user's directory being located at ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6)
+(Note that the --with-version-suffix=-2.0 option will result in LyX's
+user's directory being located at ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0)
(b) Developmental Versions (svn checkouts)
Then, cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter:
./autogen.sh
- ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-1.6 --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-O2 --disable-stdlib-debug
+ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-2.0 --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-O2 --disable-stdlib-debug
make
make install-strip
