Pavel,

thanks.

I understand the wider issue, and generally don't like these bait and
switch tactics which one encounters once in a while.

The problem is not really lyx-specific. Our main goal is to produce
source code. So at the end it is the users ditribution who needs to
ship certain version of Qt. Possible year-lag is not a huge problem.

What is concerning here is rather whole Qt-KDE community interaction.
Nontrivial percentage of Qt contributions comes from OSS comunity around.  Now,
being such developer, are you going to accept that you need to pay for your own
work if you need the fix soon? The worst possible outcome could be forking Qt
by the OSS community and that's where the "interesting" times would start :)
It wouldn't help the long-term future of the codebase neither for Qt-company nor
for the OSS community, but it might happen if QtC decide that mid-term revenue
is most important thing now.

For LyX itself there is not much to worry about, we'll likely just follow the
big players like KDE or distributions choice :)

Again, and considerations of not breaking the Open Source ideology
aside, can this issue be solved by funding a license?

It seems that new features in Qt are only 3d and virtual reality these 
days... I am not sure that we'll lose much.


The issue might be though with bugs experienced with new versions of

The problem would be that the version of Qt that Debian or Fedora or

lag behind what's available to paying customers and so would not have

I have marked this email as important as I might need it in the future.  

I have used lyx for many years and like Charlie just go  to the Debian 
(currently 
Buster) repository and download it (currently repository has 2.3.2-1).  Works 
fine 
with texlive.  However I keep hearing that the QT people's efforts to monetize 
QT 
may start to give lyx problems.

   You were absolutely correct.  I had not done that.  Doing that solved all my

On Thu, 16 Apr 2020 11:36:32 +0100 F informed me of Compiling LyX in
debian buster


Hi,

    I and others have failed to compile lyx in several debian
versions 
over many years -- all because of problems in accessing QT.


    At the moment I am trying to compile in buster unsuccessfully.  
Does any one know what needs to be set in the configuration.


Regards

Frank Salter


Responded thus:

Am probably speaking out of turn. Maybe the important word is
"compile". If so please ignore this, because it is just noise.

At the risk of bringing the devil to the door:

I have used LyX for so many years with so many Debian versions, Buster
and Bullseye at the moment, many before that. Have to admit that it
has always installed successfully from the Debian repository, each
time. Never had to do anything special with QT.

Always worked straight up, and with a little tweaking of paths, locked
into all LyX documents of which there are thousands. on a new
internal, or external hard drive.

Why do you need to "compile" it when using Debian? I am interested.

Charlie

Debian is never up to date.  Moving LyX documents from one machine to 
another is a pain when the versions are different.
So it is to keep in line with current versions of LyX on other machines.

Can you tell us what you do to compile and what error you get ?

JMarc

I have tried every combination of configuration parameters from the 
simplest to the most complete without success.  Unfortunately it is very 
difficult to imagine what is intended with all the selections allowed by 
the configuration file. From my checking of the archive, this has been 
true for everyone else using debian. The directories called "qt5" appear 
in many strange locations. If you can explain what $QTDIR should refer 
to, would setting this environmental variable be sufficient to allow 
configuration Regards Frank Salter

Re: compiling lyx 2.0.1 Now: lyx2lyx

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Thanks all who tried to help me with the compiling. I have given up  
for the time being and will wait until my son has time to help me (I  
am too old). I could not find zlib1g-dev under 'All' in synaptics.


I am now using my notebook for completing a paper in lyx. However, the  
lyx file from the pc tells me, the DesmodiumPaperF.lyx is from a newer  
LyX-Version, and the lyx2lyx-Script could not convert the document.  
The Lyx version of the PC was 2.2.2, the version of the notebook  
2.0.0svn. I tried separately in a shell

lyx2lyx DesmodiumPaperF.lyx
bash: lyx2lyx: command not found. What can I do?

Yes. Download the src tarball of LyX [1], unpack and navigate to

your LyX installation. On Linux this would usually be
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx. Make sure to first (re)move the existing

** Cannot find zlib.h. Please check that the zlib library

Is zlib.h present?


yes, as zlib1g, and it says:
compression library - runtime
zlib is a library implementing the deflate compression method found
in gzip and PKZIP.  This package includes the shared library.


That package does not include the file zlib.h:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g/filelist
You need zlib-dev:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zlib1g-dev
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g-dev/filelist
which "includes the development support files".

Base packages, like zlib1g, include only the files need to *use* the  
library. So to run LyX, you only need zlib1g, which LyX uses to zip  
and unzip things. The *-dev packages, on the other hand, include  
what you need to "link against" the library, that is, what you need  
to *compile* programs that use that library. So, to compile LyX, you  
need zlib1g-dev.


The same goes for the X packages and Qt packages. E.g., as well as  
libqt4, you need libqt4-dev.

Thanks  Richard for your careful explanation. Will try and report.

 Hello Weidong,
 Here is a short Howto that I wrote for compiling LyX and using GNU Stow
 to keep it out of the way of your existing LyX installation.

 -

 ===
  Compiling LyX on Ubuntu or Debian
 ===

 
  And using GNU Stow
 

 Getting the tools
 =

 1. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep lyx
 2. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo apt-get install stow
 3. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo apt-get install automake
 4. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo atp-get install autoconf


 This should get most or all of what you need. There may be a
 substantial download if you have no building tools already installed.

 Getting LyX
 ===

 You want the source code.

 Download the source tarball from  http://www.lyx.org/Download. The
 downloaded file will be named lyx-1.6.5.tar.gz.

 Local directory
 ===

 1. y...@yourmachine:~$ mkdir local
 2. y...@yourmachine:~$ mv lyx-1.6.5.tar.gz ./local
(Note: the tarball may be downloaded to some special directory,
usually either Desktop or Downloads. You may need to adjust the
above command line accordingly)
 3. y...@yourmachine:~$ cd local
 4. y...@yourmachine:~$ tar xovzf lyx-1.6.5.tar.gz
This will create a new sub-directory under ~/local and will unpack
the source files for lyx.
 4. y...@yourmachine:~$ cd lyx-1.6.5

 Compiling
 =

 1. y...@yourmachine:~$ ./autogen.sh
Check the output - if it says something is missing, then use
apt-get to install it.
 2. y...@yourmachine:~$ ./configure --with-version-suffix=165
We give it a different suffix so that it doesn't conflict with your
existing LyX installation. You can use both the new version and the
previously installed version.

Check the output - if it says something is missing, then install
using apt-get. Repeat items 1 and 2.
 3. y...@yourmachine:~$ make
Depending on your machine, this may take some time. If there is an
error, then read the output. You probably need to use apt-get to
install some new piece of software.
 4. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/lyx165


wolfgang:/home/wolfgang# make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/lyx165
make: *** Keine Regel, um »install« zu erstellen.  Schluss.
(no rule to produce 'install'. end)

ps: I used su instead of sudo.


 5. y...@yourmachine:~$ cd /usr/local/stow
 6. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo stow lyx165

 Running the new version
 ===

 y...@yourmachine:~$ lyx165

 You can also make a launcher for the new version by right clicking
 on the panel. The command should be /usr/local/bin/lyx165.

 You can also run your old LyX version using the simple command:

 y...@yourmachine:~$ lyx

 In a launcher, the command /usr/local/bin/lyx will run the old version.



 Please let me know if there is any problem with any of the steps here.
 Cheers,
 Alan



thanks Allan

[Wei-Dong Lian]

Hi Alan,
Thanks lot, I am really grateful to inform you that the way you mentioned
below really worked well. It worked in my computer ubuntu 8.04 LTS, except a
problem of Latex style and layout problem. I think it is a slight one, I
could install it.
Thanks again for your detailed instructions.

Unless you are compiling from your home directory, which isn't really a 
good idea, then you need to get into the directory where the sources 
live, which in these instructions would be ~/local/lyx165.

I have tidied up the instructions (including a nice suggestion from

section:

It would be nice if someone could include a yum/whatever equivalent for

apt-get build-dep lyx

command.

I also included a brief separate section on the virtues of using GNU
Stow to install the compiled software.

Re: Compiling LyX on Ubuntu/Debian (was Badly needly for lyx 1.6.4 under ubuntu 8.04)

[Wei-Dong Lian]

Hi Alan,
Thanks lot, I am really grateful to inform you that the way you mentioned
below really worked well. It worked in my computer ubuntu 8.04 LTS, except a
problem of Latex style and layout problem. I think it is a slight one, I
could install it.
Thanks again for your detailed instructions.

Hello Weidong,
Here is a short Howto that I wrote for compiling LyX and using GNU Stow
to keep it out of the way of your existing LyX installation.

-

===
  Compiling LyX on Ubuntu or Debian
===


  And using GNU Stow


Getting the tools
=

1. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep lyx
2. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo apt-get install stow
3. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo apt-get install automake
4. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo atp-get install autoconf


This should get most or all of what you need. There may be a
substantial download if you have no building tools already installed.

Getting LyX
===

You want the "source code".

Download the source tarball from  http://www.lyx.org/Download. The
downloaded file will be named lyx-1.6.5.tar.gz.

Local directory
===

1. y...@yourmachine:~$ mkdir local
2. y...@yourmachine:~$ mv lyx-1.6.5.tar.gz ./local
(Note: the tarball may be downloaded to some special directory,
usually either Desktop or Downloads. You may need to adjust the
above command line accordingly)
3. y...@yourmachine:~$ cd local
4. y...@yourmachine:~$ tar xovzf lyx-1.6.5.tar.gz
This will create a new sub-directory under ~/local and will unpack
the source files for lyx.
4. y...@yourmachine:~$ cd lyx-1.6.5

Compiling
=

1. y...@yourmachine:~$ ./autogen.sh
Check the output - if it says something is missing, then use
apt-get to install it.
2. y...@yourmachine:~$ ./configure --with-version-suffix=165
We give it a different suffix so that it doesn't conflict with your
existing LyX installation. You can use both the new version and the
previously installed version.

Check the output - if it says something is missing, then install
using apt-get. Repeat items 1 and 2.
3. y...@yourmachine:~$ make
Depending on your machine, this may take some time. If there is an
error, then read the output. You probably need to use apt-get to
install some new piece of software.
4. y...@yourmachine:~$ sudo make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/lyx165
 


wolfgang:/home/wolfgang# make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/lyx165
make: *** Keine Regel, um »install« zu erstellen.  Schluss.
(no rule to produce 'install'. end)

ps: I used su instead of sudo.

   
Unless you are compiling from your home directory, which isn't really a 
good idea, then you need to get into the directory where the sources 
live, which in these instructions would be ~/local/lyx165.

Re: Compiling LyX on Ubuntu/Debian (was Badly needly for lyx 1.6.4 under ubuntu 8.04)

[Typhoon]

I have tidied up the instructions (including a nice suggestion from
Wolfgang) and posted the tutorial on the Wiki under the Tips/Compiling
section:

http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Compiling#sTips.Compiling_9

It would be nice if someone could include a yum/whatever equivalent for
the Debian

apt-get build-dep lyx

command.

I also included a brief separate section on the virtues of using GNU
Stow to install the compiled software.

Cheers,
Alan

Hi,

Your first mail didn't contain a lot of details, so it was difficult to 
guess.


I think it's strange that you use the windows.h file from 
lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008\include. windows.h should be available on 
your system.


What happens if you remove it from this directory ?

I use(d) Visual C++ Express too and I have only aspell.h, iconv.h, 
libintl.h, zconf.h and zlib.h in this directory (and some hunspell stuff).


If you can't work it out, you might want to try using CMake.

The problem is that cygwin does not have qt4. It would be a lot of

There is a binary for cygwin at the usual place.

 Have you checked the wiki for information?

Actually, the wiki page http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnCygwin still refers
to LyX 1.4. It is my intention updating it to LyX 1.5/Qt 4.3.0 as soon as
I'll find the time. Note that the binary packages that I make available
most probably will continue using Qt 4.1.5 as they are the same packages
I build for my personal use, and I by far prefer Qt 4.1.5 over 4.3.0, as
that version is less bloated. I like having the file dialog instantly
populated as it happens with 4.1.5, instead of waiting several seconds.
Anyway, Qt 4.3.0 supports a Vista style, so if you have Vista and like
having shaded tool tips, you will be able to compile your own version ;-)

The problem is that cygwin does not have qt4. It would be a lot of
trouble if you try to compile qt4/x11 for cygwin. qt4/win might be
used directly, but I am not sure.

  Nope. You read correctly lyx-1.5.0-beta only works with qt4, not qt3.

Hello,

The qt3 frontend that we had in LyX 1.4 has indeed been abandoned for
various reasons and replaced by the new qt4 one. So you have
unfortunately to hunt for a proper qt4 package somewhere.

Official and Unofficial distro support are listed here:

The minimum supported version is Qt4.0.2 I think. Of course you won't 
find that anywhere :-)

Indeed (because it does not exist). All other versions can be found here:

I meant source compatible. IIRC, Jurgen managed to compile LyX with 
4.0 or 4.0.1... But you're right we've decided that the minimum 
supported version will be 4.1.0.

Yes, I have tried to compile it before reading the INSTALL file as usually for 
LyX 1.4 series. After getting an error, I read the INSTALL file which is the 
new LyX version can be installed only with qt4.

 What OS/distribution are you using?

I use SuSE 10.0. I have tried to find suitable qt4 rpms packages for this 
version of SuSE but not yet found.

Thank you for your response,
Wayan
