I'm not sure what you think is unclear in INSTALL.MacOSX. Do you have
proposed changes?
Not yet, I'm going to make a proposal here:
In the INSTALL.MacOSX, rows 91-96 it reads:
91 Then, cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter:
92
93 ./autogen.sh
94 ./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-1.6
--with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext
--enable-optimization=-O2 --disable-stdlib-debug
95 make
96 make install-strip
For innocent people like me it should be made clear that inspite the "
--with-version-suffix=-svn" (or whatever "-suffix=nn")
the new build LyX application will be installed under the name given in
the " --prefix=/path/to/LyX.app " part of the command.
So I propose in this part of the INSTALL.MacOSX should be added an
elucidating NOTE and then read as the following or similar:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, cd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy, and enter:
./autogen.sh
NOTE: in the following "configure"-command you decide, where and with what
name the LyX application will later (with the "make install-strip"
command) be installed.
For example: " ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX.app …" will later
install the new build with the name LyX.app in the /Applications folder,
thereby overwriting an existing LyX installation (if there is). If you
want to keep a given LyX.app installations, you should give the new one
another name, e. g. by typing " ./configure
--prefix=/Applications/LyX-nn.app …", where the "-nn" name suffix here is
free selectable. For a svn-Version of LyX the suffix "-svn" might be a
good choice.
./configure --prefix=/path/to/LyX-svn.app --with-version-suffix=-svn
--with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 --with-included-gettext
--enable-optimization=-O2 --disable-stdlib-debug
make
make install-strip
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To my question:
And, if I want to recover the mistake I made, what to do?
I guess the easyest way would be, to do the procedure of compiling the
LyX
Version 2.0.0svn again but with a corrected $ ./configure command (which
one?) and then install LyX 1.6.5 again, right? Other recommendations?
BH responded:
Yes -- that's right.
Thanks again for tutoring me! I did the compiling again with the corrected
command and reinstalled LyX 1.6.5 from the .dmg - both versions of LyX
working well now!
