First make an empty directory outside of the source directory. Let's call it /tmp/lyxbuild for now. So mkdir /tmp/lyxbuild # Then if you use autotools I think that you do something like cd /tmp/lyxbuild /path/to/lyxsource/configure make # if instead you use CMake, do cmake /path/to/lyxsource/configure make If you need more arguments for why it's a good idea to build outside source, Kornel is very convincing.
