Item of possible interest to Mac users.
I recently had to do a clean install of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard on my
Intel Mac.
Following this I found that building LyX required
qt-mac-opensource-src-4.3.3 as LyX builds using previous qt versions
resulted in a LyX that crashed.
To build any qt-mac-opensource version (I tried 4.2.2 which previously
worked OK when built under Tiger and 4.3.2 as well as 4.3.3):
1. I had to delete -fconstant-cfstrings FLAG declarations from
qbase.pri files
2. For a number of files I had to change infix relations such as a==b
to prefix relations such as operator==(a,b). in one case I had to use
::operator==(a,b), These changes were necessary due to the compiler
producing compilation errors that complained about "ambiguity". I
assume this is problem with the compiler supplied with Xcode3.0 as for
each failure two "candidates" were suggested, one candidate requiring
two parameters and the other requiring one parameter. As the relations
involve two parameters (a and b), it's hard to see where the
"ambiguity" arises!
My configure instruction:
./configure --prefix=/Applications/"LyX1.5svn.app"
--with-version-suffix=-1.5 --without-x
--with-qt4-dir=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.3 --with-included-gettext
--enable-optimization=-Os --enable-debug --enable-assertions
I have pkg-config installed as I need it for other projects.
Have you tried the cmake build system? It has a Xcode target, i.e. it
creates a native Xcode project for LyX. Use it all the time, works
perfectly. Look in the README.cmake file for some information. If you
need more help, feel free to ask.
