LyX/Mac is built from the LyX source, the GPL-licensed Trolltech
Qt/Mac library, and a custom application bundle.
build developmental versions must have automake and gettext as
well.
-1. Qt/Mac Opensource Edition, version 4. This library is GPL-
-licensed and can be downloaded from
-<http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/mac.html>. To compile it,
+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
Decompress Qt/Mac in a convenient directory, cd to the top of the
./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
-2. [Needed only for developmental builds:] automake, version 1.5
+ 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\
+ -no-framework -no-exceptions -no-webkit -no-qt3support -no-javascript-jit -no-dbus\
+ -nomake examples -nomake demos -nomake docs\
+ -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
-way to get this is to use DarwinPorts (from
-http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/) and install automake
-using
+way to get this is to use MacPorts (from http://www.macports.org/)
+and install automake using
sudo port install automake
3. [Needed only for developmental builds:] gettext version >= 0.12
(check with gettext --version). If the installed version is
insufficient the easiest way to obtain a later version is to use
-DarwinPorts (from http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/) and
-install gettext using:
+MacPorts (from http://www.macports.org/) and install gettext
+using:
sudo port install gettext
+4. [Useful to simplify detection of Qt:] pkg-config >= 0.9.0. Again,
+the simplest way is through MacPorts:
+
+ 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
(a) Official Releases
-cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter:
+If you did not install pkg-config, first set the LDFLAGS variable:
+
+ export LDFLAGS="-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framework QuickTime -framework Cocoa"
+
+Then, cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter:
- export LDFLAGS="-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framework QuickTime -lz -framework Cocoa"
- ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-1.5 --without-x --with-frontend=qt4 --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-Os
+ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-2.0 --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-O2
make
make install-strip
-(Note that the --with-version-suffix=-1.5 option will result in LyX's
-user's directory being located at ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5.)
+(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)
Building LyX from developmental sources requires a few more steps.
Instead of the instructions above, do the following:
-cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter:
+If you did not install pkg-config, first set the LDFLAGS variable:
+
+ export LDFLAGS="-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framework QuickTime -framework Cocoa"
+
+Then, cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter:
- export LDFLAGS="-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framework QuickTime -lz -framework Cocoa"
./autogen.sh
- ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-1.5 --without-x --with-frontend=qt4 --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-Os --disable-stdlib-debug --disable-concept-checks
+ ./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
+Note that by default svn versions use some extra debugging code that
+somewhat slows LyX down. If it is a real problem, you can pass the
+option --enable-build-type=release to configure.
