Exactly. I have to admit that it is years ago since I saw an OS X with X server (and it was on a PPC ibook). > I don't believe it is possible to compile and run this with our > auto tools build.

I simply looked at the #defines, and from those it looks like qt4 can be built for this configuration. > This is a possibility.

In that case one could easily use LYX_WS_OSX in the code and do the following in config.h: #if QT_VERSION >= 0x050000 #ifdef Q_OS_MACX #define LYX_WS_MACX #endif #else #ifdef Q_WS_MACX #define LYX_WS_MACX #endif #endif > But the argument with Qt-4.x testing is strong. > > Should I try this? I think that would be great. Since Benjamin helped so nicely with bug fixing I think he deserves a version which build easily with qt5. Georg
