How to compile a very trimmed down lyx executable, to run on smartphones

Thank you
Lyx will run fine without latex or any of the other supporting
programs. The install program might complain, but lyx itself
will be fine for editing.
What you really need, is:
* An xserver of some kind, so lyx can display itself - or alternatively
a qt library with some other way of rendering.
* All those libraries listed when you run
ldd /usr/bin/lyx
Now, if you want to trim down the executable itself you have a bigger
job ahead of you. Seeing that you don't want to run latex on the phone,
you could remove all the export/output stuff, in fact anything that
runs other processes. You can remove the spellchecker interface
if you don't plan on having a spellchecker. You can remove
image loading - loosing previews but still able to include images.
I don't think lyx is designed with this in mind though, so it
might be a lot of work making lyx more "modular".
Configuring lyx lets you choose a few things like what frontend to
compile, but there isn't much "pick&choose" there. Make sure
you compile with something like -Os to optimize for size.
