This is what I do: copy them from an autotools install into the cmake project.
Package.cpp and config.h.cmake has to be fixed.
* check that .tar.gz and .xz are identical to those from autotools
- * DONE: Fix libintl, LYX_EXTERNAL_LIBINTL=OFF triggers compilation in intl even when LYX_NLS is OFF
* *.po are too often generated by Visual Studio
* show correct values in cmake-gui: write forced to cache
Documentation
* Better documentation, variable naming, more automake-like
- * what does LYX_DEVEL_VERSION do?
- * What is the difference with LYX_RELEASE=OFF?
* how do I specify whether I want debug informations (-g flag) for unix?
