Building LyX/Mac on UFS file systems
The build instructions for LyX/Mac in the lyx-1.3.4 distribution fail on UFS file systems. Although Apple recommends that MacOSX systems use HFS+ file systems for boot partitions and Applications directories, Gerben Wierda, the maintainer of an excellent teTeX suite for MacOSX, discovered the problem in trying to build LyX/Mac on a UFS file system. I don't have a MacOSX UFS file system here to test this on, but I believe the following changes would work: After installing the LyX/Mac framework from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-mac-1.3.4-skeleton.tar.gz and before doing make install in the lyx source directory: - change /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Info.plist from keyCFBundleExecutable/key stringLyX/string to keyCFBundleExecutable/key stringlyx/string - delete /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/LyX - change /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX to /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx If anyone is in a position to try this on a MacOSX system with a UFS filesystem, I'd welcome corrections or additions to these procedures.

Any ideas out there of what to do?

problems using external templates

Ronald is absolutely right on this one. The more recent versions of
fink runs a shell-script during the installation process that sets up
the correct paths, and should not require manual editing of the .cshrc
file.
Actually, .cshrc is not relevant to LyX/Mac, which as a GUI
application does not get its PATH from the shell initialization files.
Whatever method fink uses to set the PATH for shells, it may not be a
good idea to follow: fink puts its own directories ahead of system
directories like /bin and /usr/bin. Unless you're sure of what fink
puts in those directories, and sure you want those binaries instead of
the normal binaries, it can be confusing and/or insecure to allow

And if it doesn't it is definitely something that would be available if it were a Cocoa version of LyX since Objective-C is purely dynamic both in type and run-time. No, LyX/Mac does not dynamically update to Preview in PDF or pdflatex mode. It does dynamically update to MacDviX, which I much prefer for previewing because LyX/Mac includes reverse DVI search -- when you Option-Click in the DVI preview, LyX jumps to that point in the original file. The same feature is also available with xdvi. LyX/Mac is a Carbon app, compilable from the same LyX source code that is used for the other supported LyX platforms.

Re: Looking for a faster PDF viewer
Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Maybe I'm wrong here, but I'd like to ask Ron Florence who has Preview.app on OS X to hook into LyX Qt/Mac to verify whether or not the pdflatex functionality can dynamically update to Preview or not. And if it doesn't it is definitely something that would be available if it were a Cocoa version of LyX since Objective-C is purely dynamic both in type and run-time. No, LyX/Mac does not dynamically update to Preview in PDF or pdflatex mode. It does dynamically update to MacDviX, which I much prefer for previewing because LyX/Mac includes reverse DVI search -- when you Option-Click in the DVI preview, LyX jumps to that point in the original file. The same feature is also available with xdvi. LyX/Mac is a Carbon app, compilable from the same LyX source code that is used for the other supported LyX platforms. This was a very important goal in developing the port. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com

beta-testers sought (relocatable LyX/Mac)
I'm looking for a couple of beta-testers for a new relocatable version of LyX/Mac -- the application can be moved from /Applications. This feature will not be introduced officially until LyX/Mac-1.3.4, but I'd like to test it on a few sites now, especially anyone running Jaguar (MacOS-10.2.x). I've tested it locally on Panther (MacOS-10.3.1). Please write me with your MacOSX version and I'll point you to the self-installing binary. Thanks, -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com

Early on Jean-Marc and I played with an idea similar to yours for LyX/Mac. Aside from being ugly, your hack breaks Start-LyX, reLyX, noweb2lyx, and lyxeditor (which is used for reverse DVI search with xdvi or MacDviX). It may also break starting LyX from the command line for batch processing and debugging. I suppose with enough hacking you get get some of those features to work, but in the process you would compromise the simple and reliable installation, and lack of ugly hacks, that makes LyX/Mac appealing to many Mac users. As I noted earlier, if you have some compulsion to move LyX to a different directory, you can make an alias anywhere you want. The LyX alias will function with all of the features your hack breaks. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com

Re: Changing language of LyX user interface.
Peter Ringwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Some time ago, I was experimenting with LyX and found a hint about how to change the whole GUI language, including the documentation, by adding two lines to a deeply buried file including fr or ru, depending on what language in which you wanted to see the interface. With LyX/Mac, you can change the GUI language from the system default by inserting the lines keyLANG/key stringfr/string between the dict and /dict of ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. Substitute the two-character abbreviation of the langauge you want for fr. You will have to log out and log in again for the change to take effect. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
