Re: Lyx 2.3.7 on Linux Mint
Many thanks indeed. I shall hopefully give this a try when MrsD next goes out for the evening and I have a little "play time"! Cheers, Norm.

I note that I have already received one report of a successful 2.3.7 compile and install based on these steps. :-) Install basic QT5 stuff $ sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools Then, to avoid "unable to compile simple QT binary” error, the following: $ sudo apt install pkg-config libqt5x11extras5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libice-dev I was also missing libmagic-dev on my Dell XPS installation: $ sudo apt install libmagic-dev Finally, I ran configure with the follow spec for QTDIR: $ ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt5 Then it’s just a matter of: $ make $ sudo make install -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Good Afternoon Chris, if you don;t mind me asking, I would also like a copy of your notes etc on building Lyx from source. I too am suffering (!) from the Linux Mint "Vanessa" problem. I have to add that I have no pressing need to update to 2.3.7, but if it's available, why not! ;-) Many thanks. Regards, Norm.
