(I think).
This worries me. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to compile LyX on Mac and am currently unable to generate universal binaries of 2.0. (There will be no Mac binary for 2.0alpha1.) I cannot use autotools at all; cmake compiles, but only intel (not ppc) and even then not for OSX 10.4. Going forward, I cannot compile recent versions of Qt myself, and if I use Nokia's precompiled versions I will not be able to use autotools at all, but will be forced to use cmake, which only has incomplete support for Mac. LyX on Mac needs some serious help. To be clear: none of this is intended as criticism or blame. I know there's only limited time people have to devote to LyX in general, and I appreciate everyone's willingness to help out on Mac when possible. Would that I had time and energy to step forward and (learn enough to) fix some of these problems.... BH
