LyX/Mac is built from the LyX source, the GPL-licensed Trolltech
Qt/Mac library, and a custom application bundle.
You will need the MacOSX development tools. The procedure described
-here builds LyX linked with a static Qt library. If you are using the
-tcsh shell, change the "export VAR=value" statements to
-"setenv VAR value".

PREREQUISITES
-1. Qt/Mac Free Edition, version 3.3. This library is GPL-licensed
+1. Qt/Mac Free Edition, version 4. 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/>.
+2. automake, version 1.9 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
+ sudo port install automake
+
+3. gettext version >= 0.12 (check with gettext --version)
+If the installed version is insufficient the
+easiest way to obtain a later version is to get DarwinPorts
+(from http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/) and install gettext
+using
+ sudo port install gettext
