Yes, you're right. I'll check and add that - if LyX can be compiled with Nokia's .dmg. I think it's the case - but I want to be sure. So, I'll test it. > 2.

Do you mean *autoconf* 2.67? That one I didn't notice since I have an older version. Didn't update macports a while. We should test that on Linux and change autogen.sh if it works.

My current version of INSTALL.MacOSX mentions here: export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -framework ApplicationServices -framework Cocoa -framework AppKit" I've learned it from pkgconfig guesses for Qt4. So, you're saying "-framework ApplicationServices" is not needed? I'll remove it from INSTALL.MacOSX then... > Next, in the lyx-devel directory, I did: > ./autogen.sh > ./configure --with-version-suffix=-2.0 --disable-stdlib-debug > --prefix=PATH/TO/LyX.app --with-qt4-dir=/path/to/QT4 > --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr > make > make install-strip > > The libiconv prefix needed to be specified on the configure line to avoid > loading an older version of that library installed by fink. This is a good idea. The --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr option should be used in any case. I had problems with the macports version, too. I'll add that. > That's how things worked for me. Thank you for the feedback. Stephan
