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".
+here builds LyX linked with a static Qt library. Also note that
+building LyX/Mac requires gcc version 4.0 or higher. (You can check
+your version by entering "gcc -v" in the Terminal; you can change
+your gcc version to version 4.0, for example, by entering
+"sudo gcc_select 4.0".)
-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:
- export QTDIR=`pwd`
- sudo gcc_select 3.3
- ./configure -static -no-exceptions [for Panther, use "./configure -static -no-exceptions -lresolv"]
- make
- rm lib/libqt.la
+PREREQUISITES
-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.)
+Note: Only Qt/Mac is needed for building official LyX releases, and
+so steps 2 and 3 can be skipped in these cases. Those wanting to
+build developmental versions must have automake and gettext as
+well.
-3. Using the same terminal session you used to build the Qt library,
-cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and:
+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
+Qt source hierarcy, and enter:
- 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
+ ./configure -static -no-exceptions -nomake examples -nomake tools -nomake demos -prefix /path/to/QT4
make
make install
- rm /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/images/lyx.xpm
+ cd /path/to/QT4/lib
+ rm *.la
+
+2. [Needed only for developmental builds:] automake, version 1.5
+or higher (check with automake --version). Probably the easiest
+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
+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
+
+
+BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
+
+In what follows, /path/to/LyX.app is the location where you want LyX
+to create the LyX binary. You should substitute something appropriate,
+like: ~/Desktop/LyX.app. Also, substitute the appropriate path to
+where you installed Qt for /path/to/QT4 (as above).
+
+(a) Official Releases
+
+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:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-1.5 --without-x --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-Os
+ 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.)
+
+
+(b) Developmental Versions (svn checkouts)
+
+Building LyX from developmental sources requires a few more steps.
+Instead of the instructions above, do the following:
+
+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:
+
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-1.5 --without-x --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext --enable-optimization=-Os
+ make
+ make install-strip
-[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.]
+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 --disable-stdlib-debug to configure.
