Good!


Before I can try the ebuild version I wouls like to know if I can
install lyx-1.5 in parallel to the old version also using the ebuild.
Would it be sufficient to modify the ebuild accordingly, i.e. to change
the call of ./configure using '--with-version-suffix=1.5' ?


The ebuild would install the same version you already have, I think
there is no point in doing it right now.

Hi Andrés,
thanks for the pointer to the ebuild for lyx-1.5.0b1 ebuild.

I downloaded it, editet the options for the suffix etc. as indicated by
Georg and Russel but I couldn't convince emerge to use it. eix too
ignored it.

What would I have to do to get it working?



Hello Hellmut,

You should place the ebuild in an overlay, lets say
/usr/local/portage. Edit /etc/make.conf adding this:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage


-Then create  these complete route: /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Move the ebuild there
- cp /usr/portage/app-office/lyx/files/lyx.desktop
/usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Put the patch in the Gentoo bugzilla (lyx-1.5.0_beta1-gentoo.patch)
in /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/lyx-1.5.0_beta1.ebuild digest
- emerge -av lyx



BTW i verified the packages mentioned in the DEPEND sections: most have
already been merged some of the libX's weren't known to eix. ???



The emerge -av lyx should list the dependencies portage is going to merge .

I hope it helps

Hi Georg, Russel, Andrés
thanks for all your information.

It will take me probably some days to do all the testing.

I'll report on the special characters behaviour.

 I am not aware of problems with accented characters in 1.4, but they should

 Some Questions:
 * Can I install LyX-1.5.0beta1 in parallel to LyX-1.3.7? (generating
 manually from the sources probably)
 
 Yes. All you have to do is to compile from source and use the
 --with-version-suffix argument of the configure script, e.g.
 --with-version-suffix=1.5. Then it will use a different personal
 configuration directory, and the binary will be named lyx1.5.
 If you don't use that argument then LyX 1.5 will make your old configuration
 unusable for LyX 1.3.x.
 
 * Is there a converter from the LyX file format 1.3.7 to 1.5.0.
 (Looking at them with vi there are some obvious differences...)
 
 Yes. The converter is called lyx2lyx and used automatically, so you can
 simply open your old files in 1.5. You can also export them in the old
 format again, but that direction is not as complete as the conversion from
 1.3 to 1.5.
 
 * Is Qt4 needed for LyX-1.5.0?
 
 Yes.

I'm working on an IBM Lenovo ThinkPad T60 with gentoo-Linux + KDE-3.5.6
+ tetex-3.0_p1-r3

I'm still using LyX-1.3.7 because of the problems I have with some
special characters like å, ç, accented Letters etc. in LyX-1.4.x.

Some Questions:
* Can I install LyX-1.5.0beta1 in parallel to LyX-1.3.7? (generating
manually from the sources probably)

* Is there a converter from the LyX file format 1.3.7 to 1.5.0.
(Looking at them with vi there are some obvious differences...)

* Is Qt4 needed for LyX-1.5.0?

TIA

Hellmut

 We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.5.0 (beta 1).
 
 It is the culmination of 1 year of hard work, and we sincerely hope
 you will enjoy the results. The changes are too numerous to
 summarize in a few words, with initial unicode support as the flagship
 of new features. Jump directly to the end of this message if you want
 to know the differences to the latest stable version (1.4.4).
 
 As usual with major releases, a lot of work that is not directly
 visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
 some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
 
 See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in that release.
 
 In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
 http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
 
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.
 
LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page
boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary
TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
 
On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or
richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating'
your dissertation the evening before going to press.
 
LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the
Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. 
 
 You can download LyX 1.5.0beta1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with
 bzip2, which yields smaller files):
 
   ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/lyx-1.5.0beta1.tar.gz
   ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/lyx-1.5.0beta1.tar.bz2
 
 Note that due to the ammount of changes no patch is provided to upgrade
from version 1.4.4.
 
 Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
 installers) should soon be available at
   ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/

Until then try
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/


 
 
 If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.5.0beta1, you may either
 e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel @ lists.lyx.org), or open
 a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org
 
 If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
 first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there,
 e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users @ lists.lyx.org).
 
 Enjoy!
 
 The LyX team.
 
 
 What's new in version 1.5.0 (beta 1)?
 
 
 * Unicode
 
 LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew
 of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic
 languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to
 encodings current available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8
 encoding or such brand new typesetting systems as XeTeX.
 Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some
 areas still need a cleanup it is very likely that some bugs related to
 the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known
 bugs in LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related
 to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel
 mailing list.
 
 * Multiple views of the same buffer
 
 LyX can now display multiple views of the same buffer. I.e., you can
 now open a single document in multiple windows and work on different
 parts of it synchronously.
 
 * Outliner
 
 LyX has another long-awaited feature: a basic outliner mode, in which
 you can move chapters and sections around in the Table of Contents
 dialog. (The outliner has been backported and was released with LyX
 1.4.4.)
 
 * Session managment
 
 LyX is now able to remember window size and position and it will
 reopen the documents you worked on last time around. If you've
 selected the feature in the Preferences dialog, it'll even move the
 cursor to the place you were working on last!  Furthermore, toolbars
 can (finally!) be switched on/off in View-Toolbars and moved about in
 the LyX window. The session managment will remember their state.
 
 * Source code Viewer
 
 As a kind of anti-preview-latex, a dialog was implemented that lets
 you view the source code of a given paragraph/selection or the whole
 document.
 
 * New Font Selection Interface
 
 LyX's font selection abilities have been one of its weakest and most
 outdated components. A completely new interface was implemented

Nice.
Works well,  so far does all the LyX things I need: make ps, pdf, bibtex.

The INSTALL file needs editing as its now 1.5.0 and not 1.4.x
line 53:
LyX 1.4.x makes great use of C++ Standard Template Library (STL).

It compiled with out any probs in Ubuntu Dapper (i386) and the
checkinstall package is here:
http://home.exetel.com.au/randombits/lyx_1.5.0beta1-1_i386.deb

this used configure:  
$ ./configure  --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt4 --enable-optimization=-O3 
--prefix=/usr/local

This does not check for dependencies.  It just saves the time from finding and 
installing the extra packages needed to compile LyX and compiling the final 
package.

cheers

1 more tiny buglet:
In math panel, selection widget on left, 5th down has no text label, and
hover over it gives the wrong message.

Re: LyX version 1.5.0 (beta 1) is released - kde themes

2007-02-24 Thread pol
Just compiled on my laptop/centrino under kubuntu.
I have used scons, as suggested, after cd'd into  development/scons:

 scons gettext=auto mode=release frontend=qt4 boost=auto nls=yes spell=auto 
prefix=/usr/local   -j3 all

  scons install

I have noticed that the scrollbar does not match the theme (baghira)
of my kde desktop. Any hints?

Thank you

Built OK on linux fedora fc6 (x86_64)!

1 minor problem so far.  Tried to set preferences (wanted to use kpdf
instead of acroread - wish that was the default!).  In the process of
changing this, my Sans Serif screen font got changed to 'A.C.M.E. Secret
Agent'.  Looked pretty silly.  For some reason, lyx decided to default to
that for sans serif.  Manually switching it back, everything is fine.
