Hi Bennett, I agree the INSTALL.MacOSX is now much more comprehensive and useful! I had to make some adjustments though, because I compiled on a machine where I use fink instead of MacPorts (our newest Mac uses MacPorts, but I'm not compiling LyX on that one... just to make life more interesting). So in my case, here is a summary of the steps, assuming you have autoconf, gettext and pkgconfig from fink: 1) Compile qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.3 (universal without Tiger) as in step 1 of INSTALL.MacOSX. The download location for the source is ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/ (which may be a little hard to find if you're following the link given in INSTALL.MacOSX) 2) Then to build LyX from SVN, download the source using svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel Set I the following flags (assuming bash syntax): export CFLAGS="-arch i386" export CXXFLAGS="-arch i386" export OBJCFLAGS="-arch i386" export LDFLAGS="-framework Carbon -framework AppKit -arch i386" This differs from INSTALL.MacOSX because my version of pkgconfig wasn't clever enough to detect the framework dependencies automatically. Next, in the lyx-devel directory, I did: ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-version-suffix=-2.0 --disable-stdlib-debug --prefix=PATH/TO/LyX.app --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr make make install-strip The libiconv prefix needed to be specified on the configure line to avoid loading an older version of that library installed by fink. That's how things worked for me. Best, Jens
