- Building LyX on Aqua
+ Building LyX/Mac
Ronald Florence <ron@18james.com>
+ LyX/Mac is built from the LyX source, the GPL-licensed Trolltech
+ Qt/Mac library, and a custom application bundle. Qt-3.2.3 and
+ later versions align the button labels in the Math Panel better
+ under MacOS-10.3, but present other problems. Qt-3.1.2 as patched
+ here is fully functional.
+
+ 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".
+
+ 1. Download the GPL-licensed Qt/Mac library source code from
+ <ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/qt-mac-free-3.1.2.sit>, untar in
+ a convenient directory, cd to the top of the Qt source hierarcy,
+ and:
+
+ export QTDIR=`pwd`
+ patch -p0 < LYX-SOURCE-DIRECTORY/development/MacOSX/qt.patch
+ sudo gcc_select 3.3
+ ./configure -static [for Panther, use "./configure -static -lresolv"]
+ make
+
+ 2. Using the same terminal session, 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 --datadir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources --bindir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS --mandir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/man
+ make
+ cp -R development/MacOSX/LyX.app /Applications
+ make install
+ rm /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/images/lyx.xpm
- Make sure you have installed the MacOSX development tools. The
- procedure described here builds LyX-1.3.3 linked with a static Qt
- library and installs the LyX and Start-LyX applications.
-
- Download the GPL-licensed MacOSX Qt 3.1.2 library source code from
- ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/qt-mac-free-3.1.2.sit. Untar the
- .tar.gz file in a convenient directory in /usr/local/src or
- /usr/local. Then open a terminal, cd to the Qt source directory,
- apply the patch development/MacOSX/qt.patch, and:
-
- % setenv QTDIR `pwd`
- % sudo gcc_select 2
- % ./configure -static
- % make
- % sudo gcc_select 3
-
- To avoid this compiler-changing procedure in the future, you might
- want to write Apple to urge that they fix bug ID #3162425 so the
- default gcc-3.1 compiler can be used to compile LyX-1.3.x on MacOSX.
-
- Using the same terminal session you used to build the Qt libraries
- (or if you start a new terminal, set the QTDIR environment variable
- as above), cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy. Then:
-
- % setenv CXX g++2
- % setenv LDFLAGS "-framework Carbon -framework OpenGL -framework AGL -framew
-ork QuickTime -lz"
- % ./configure --with-frontend=qt --without-x --datadir=/Applications/LyX.app
-/Contents/Resources --bindir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS --mandir=/App
-lications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/man
- % make
-
- Download the LyX Framework at
- http://www.18james.com/code/LyX.tar.gz and run the installer. Then
- in the terminal where you built LyX:
-
- % make install
- % rm /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/images/lyx.xpm
For information on configuring LyX/Mac, please see the howto at
- http://www.18james.com/lyx_on_aqua.html . The binary installation
- of LyX on Aqua sets the PATH in ~/.MacOS/environment.plist,
- installs the LyX math fonts, configures LyX to use the reLyX and
- noweb2lyx commands in the application package and to use system
- defaults for viewers, sets up the lyxpipe for Start-LyX, and
- optionally installs latex-preview; you will need to do this
- configuration manually if you build LyX/Mac yourself.
+ <http://www.18james.com/lyx_on_aqua.html>. The binary installation
+ of LyX/Mac installs LaTeX fonts and packages, and provides
+ additional functionality including inverse DVI search with some
+ DVI-previewers.
