Dear all,
I finally succeeded building Mac binaries of LyX 1.5.5 using autoconf
and a static Qt build - which still took a while, but went smoothly.
Thanks to Bennett for holding hands!
Please find them here:
<http://www2.spsc.tugraz.at/people/hofbauer/lyx/LyXMac155.zip>
THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL INSTALLER !!!
(only the app itself, and untested)
The archive contains two zipped applicaton bundles, one is Intel-only,
and one a Universal binary. It also contains the output of configure,
and the a modified version of Bennett's script which shows you what I did.
Bennett, please pick the one you prefer, and test if it works on your
machines, esp. PPC and/or Leopard.
Bennett, one thing I found:
1) The configure-parameter --build should be YOUR machine (i.e.
--build=i686-apple-darwin9.xx.xx) with xx.xx whatever you have.
If you call configure without this parameter it tells you what you have.
2) The configure-parameter --host should be the machine you build for,
i.e. the host the program should run at. So use either
--host=i686-apple-darwin8 or --host=powerpc-apple-darwin8
Always specify --host AND --build, see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Specifying-Names.html#Specifying-Names>
I hope it works!
Regards,
Konrad

Hi Bennett,
If it can be of any help have placed a 10.4 compilation of LyX 1.5.5
on PPC at:
http://homepage.mac.com/anek/Temp/FileSharing24.html
Unfortunately I don't have any 10.4 installation on an Intel Mac...
Thanks, Anders. I wonder if you could cross-compile for Intel on your
PPC Mac. I'm attaching the script I use to do it the other way around;
perhaps that would help you figure out how to go the other way.
