If you mean:
1) install 1.1.4
2) apply patch 1 to 1.1.4
3) apply patch 2 to the result of 1.1.4 + patch1
this is exactly what I did (or tried to do).
By the way, how can you tell if a patch has actually been applied.
How can you see if you have 1.1.4 + patch 1 as against 1.1.4 only?

I did, for my daughters use on her laptop :-).
Since starting to use Lyx some years ago I have been rolling
my own and would like continue doing so.
I like, for example, to put it ALL in /usr/local.
(all my self compiled apps).
