Most devs use autotools so I don't know if you need to know how to use CMake but since you expressed interest, I'll give the steps. It is recommended to build it out-of-source, which means that the source directory is left untouched so that binaries aren't mixed in the same folder as source code. To do this, make a directory somewhere. Then do something like the following: mkdir ~/lyxbuild cd ~/lyxbuild cmake <path to source folder> make > There is one more question.

What is the current stable version and what is the version > that I should have to start with developing? The git branch "master" is the development branch. It is what will soon become LyX 2.1. It is referred to as "trunk" around here. The branch "2.0.x" is referred to often as "branch" and it is the next stable release, what will soon become 2.0.6. The stable release is only for bug fixes. A huge feature like a horizontal scrollbar should be developed on the unstable branch, "master". You should make your own git branch from master. Let me know if you have any questions about git. I'm still learning my way with it but I've figured out a lot of things. Best, Scott
