Hi Stephan,
Why is what you did above any better than ./configure; make; make
install from lyxhome itself? I didn't even know the separate build
directory could be done. Do you recommend the separate build directory
for compiling all programs where you need
to ./configure;make;make_install?
Once upon a time I built LyX in such a way that make distclean and make
clean didn't take out ghosts of compiles past, and I had to rm -rf and
tar again:

Could doing it your way, with a separate build directory, avoid that
problem? Is that why you're recommending it?
Thanks,
