Sorry, no. My build script checks for changes of configure.ac and 
Makefile.am and runs autogen.sh automatically. 
It does not detect changed .m4 files and I forgot it.

But the resulting application is broken when building in release mode.

$ open lyx-build/LyX-2.1.0svn.app
The application cannot be opened because its executable is missing.

 LyX -- The Document Processor

Git version; scrolling again

[Jerry]

How can I tell which version of LyX I am building? I _think_ I'm building from 
git master but then there's this:

  $ ./lyx --versionLyX 2.1.0svn (2011-04-29)

I'm still learning git but I'm building from the directory that resulted from 
this:

  git clone git://git.lyx.org/lyx

The binary responds to -E on the command line so I'm guessing that it is some 
version of 2.1 since this is said to be new in 2.1.

Anyway, the scrolling for this newly-built version for OS X is, frankly, very 
bad. Worse than 2.0.3. In January, in a version of 2.1 that I built from SVN, 
and after a discussion on this list, I was told that if I enter

  \force_paint_single_char 0

into /Users/me/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.1/preferences

that the scrolling speed would improve and in fact it did, to a very usable 
level. However, the new build is not seeing this preferences file.

So:

* Which preference file is the new build using?

* Has the scrolling really regressed badly since early January 2012?

Thanks,
Jerry

The version number and the path of your preferences directory is presented by 
LyX = About LyX.
Use the Activity Monitor.app to investigate the used files of your running LyX 
instance
if you want to know what binary, frameworks and libraries it is using.

 * Has the scrolling really regressed badly since early January 2012?

Perhaps. IMHO, the problem is caused by the text drawing algorithm of LyX. 
The program does finger-painting the text and has to compute all the 
positions of the
text parts and lines itself. I think it is drawing too much to be fast. To 
solve that
problem is not an easy task.

What do you want to do? Do you want to solve that? Do you want to develop new 
features?
Or are you looking for existing new features and want to use a recent 2.1 LyX 
app only?
