Hi,
I am about to try compiling and using master on macOS. I just has
a look at INSTALL.MacOSX. It mentions Qt version 4. That seems a
bit outdated. But I guess that I am looking at the latest guide to
compile on macOS, right?
Yes, it’s outdated. It should work with Qt4 - but Qt4 cannot be
used on recent macOS.
Basically I’m using the script LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh in
development folder. That’s much easier than other options, IMO.
First step is to install Xcode and the automake and/or cmake
utilities. This can be done with macports or homebrew. I’m using
macports.
Second step is to get Qt5 - as source or binary distribution. I’m
using the source tarball and build Qt5 myself.
Optional components are the spell checker and libmagic frameworks.
Finally I start development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh with
--enable-cxx11
--with-qt-dir=/path/to/qt5
Stephan
Thanks. Finally came around trying it on macOS. I take it one has to
run the last command with sh, right? So, from the lyx directory (in
the lyxgit directory) I execute
sh development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh --enable-cxx11
--with-qt-dir=/Users/<username>/Qt/5.9.9
(where I replace <username> by my macOS user name. Unfortunately, I
get the following:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 2:

By the way, if finally successful, where will this put the LyX.app?

I’ve made a protocol of the steps I took to build the package on a
new system. See the attached log. Probably the crucial thing is the
mklyx-2.3.4.3.sh script.
I’m used to configure and build LyX out of source. I have a working
directory with one or more versions of LyX source code and a
directory lyx-build for the results. For Qt I have a source directory
and an install target in parallel, the build directory is in lyx-build.
$ ls /Users/Shared/LyX
lyx-2.3.4.3 (source)
lyx-2.3.5.2 (source)
lyx-build (directory)
qt-5.9.9-frameworks-cocoa-x86_64 (QTDIR for 5.9.9)
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.9 (source)
The lyx-build contains the build directory, the installed package
(LyX.app) and the resulting disk image.
$ ls /Users/Shared/LyX/
LyX-2.3.4.3+qt5-x86_64-cocoa.dmg (disk image)
LyX-2.3.4.3.app (working app)
LyX-2.3.4.3.build (binaries)
LyX-2.3.5.2+qt5-x86_64-cocoa.dmg (disk image)
LyX-2.3.5.2.app (working app)
LyX-2.3.5.2.build (binaries)
qt-5.9.9-build-x86_64 (binaries)
The /bin/sh on a Mac is in fact a bash, IMO.

I am using git to download the lyx source and qt installer. But the
steps should be the same except for the unpacking and setting my own
directories, right?
I’m not sure the Qt installer puts the frameworks in the same structure
as the „make install“ from source. I never tried that.
Also what does
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to display notification "LyX
is great stuff"'
do? It looks strange.
After sending the mail I realized the need to explain this line too :)
It tries to control the Finder from command line. The reason is to
trigger the security guard (SIP) of the Mac OS.
If you never did that before you’re asked to give your OK for this and
you should see this in system control. See screenshot.
If you say „No“ you cannot build a nice disk image with the background
picture presenting the green arrow. Beware: you’re not asked again and
it’s really painful to correct it later, AFAIK.
Stephan
Maybe I am missing something. But as the subject suggests, I would like
to compile master (from git source) on macOS (latest version). It is
still unclear to me which steps I need to take or change in the recipe
provided.
