Dear LyX Developers, I just downloaded the latest LyX version via SVN onto Mac and compiled it using the Qt 4.7 beta (which seems to be much more stable, responsive, and better than Qt 4.6; at least on Snow Leopard). Everything compiled fine and I was able to launch LyX and look at several example documents.
However, I ran into a strange problem. After configuring and compiling (Used CMake + Qt Creator), LyX simply skipped the initial configuration. It wasn't able to locate my LaTeX installation and the PATH prefix in the Paths dialog was simply empty. Even after filling in the PATH and trying to reconfigure, it wasn't able to find my LaTeX distribution. The alpha3, which I downloaded from the website works fine. It locates my LaTeX distribution and I am able to compile all of my test documents. Did I miss a configuration step someplace? Cheers, Rob
