-Preparing a binary distribution for the use of others
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-  o Compile LyX with the right compiler switches for your
-    architecture. Make sure you use the --without-latex-config switch
-    of configure, since others might not be interested by your
-    configuration :-)
-
-  o Create a file README.bin describing your distribution and
-    referring to *you* if problems arise. As a model, you can use the
-    file development/tools/README.bin.example, which can be a good
-    starting point.
-
-  o Type `make bindist'. This will create a file
-    lyx-1.xx.yy-bin.tar.gz. Rename it to reflect you architecture
-    and the peculiarities of your build (e.g. static vs. dynamic).
-
-  o Check that everything is correct by unpacking the distribution
-    in some private place and running it. In particular, check the
-    output of `ldd lyx' to know which libraries are really needed.
-
-  o Upload your binary file to ftp.devel.lyx.org:/pub/incoming, and
-    notify larsbj@lyx.org.

-README file for the binary distribution of LyX 1.1.5
-======================================================
-
-Please read the file README for general information on LyX.
-
-To use this binary distribution of LyX, please follow these steps:
-
-1) Unpack the distribution in the directory /usr/local (if you unpack
-   it in a different place, please read the note below)
-
-2) Configure LyX for you system by executing
-     cd share/lyx ; ./configure
-
-3) Make sure that the directory bin/ is in your path. For example, if
-   you unpacked the distribution in /usr/local, your PATH environment
-   variable should contain "/usr/local/bin".
-
-That's it. Happy LyXing !
-
-
-If you did not unpack the distribution in /usr/local
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-LyX can perfectly work in this situation, except for one thing: as
-distributed, LyX expects to find its internationalization files in the
-directory /usr/local/share/locale. If you unpacked the distribution in
-directory /foo, you should set the environment variable LYX_LOCALEDIR
-to point to /foo/share/locale as follows:
-  LYX_LOCALEDIR=/foo/share/locale            (if you use sh or bash as shell)
-or
-  setenv LYX_LOCALEDIR /foo/share/locale     (for csh or tcsh)
-
-Note that, if if you do not have any interest in having LyX display
-its messages in other languages than english, you can safely skip this
-step.
