Hello, everybody!

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I wondered, whether you use any kind of IDE for LyX development? I tried to import the sources in eclipse (with CDT) and kdevelop, but I totally failed.

Different people use different things. But I use kdevelop, and I've had no problem importing the code. What happens when you try?


Actually I don't know how to import the sources correctly at all. Should I create a new project (which type?) and then add the LyX src path?

I just do Project>Import Existing Project, and then select my directory. I usually set it to "QT4 C++ Application", but I don't think it matters all that much in this case. I don't usually rely upon the kdevelop build system. I mostly just use it as an editor (it's kate, under the surface), and it's VERY convenient to have the integrated debugger. Note that you'll have to set the executable manually under Project>Project Options>Run Options.

OK, thanks, I'm now able to browse the code in Kdevelop.
(what caused me problems was that though having selected the lyx source
directory, I still had to add the actual source files manually...)


I'm now trying to find my way around in the code, which is ... not easy.
If anyone of you would like to spend some minutes, I'd be grateful to
have a kind of overview of LyX:
- What are the main classes/parts? (where should I start looking)
- What responsibilities do they have and how do they communicate?

I hope I'm not getting on your nerves by all my newbie questions,
best regards

Sebastian
