Hi!

I am happy to report that I have identified and documented the issues to
get Lyx 1.2.0 built on Mac OS X. I realize that the Fink project will get
it working as well; however, I have some doubts that they are
communicating all the issues to the Lyx team to ensure that future
releases build correctly (they had an opportunity to do so in version
1.1.6, which had the same build problems). I hope that my feedback will be
helpful to you and that you can modify your configure.in (where most all
of the problems are) so there can one day be a clean build on OS X.

I've put the information up on my computer at
http://bach.toolsofcomputing.com/~gkt/LyxOSX. I have an annotated
"configure" file that shows what I needed to change to get things to
work. There are also two files: lyx-CONFIGURE (shows the diffs) and
lyx-SOURCES (what source issues). The latter may, in fact, not be an issue
if we can get the configure problems fixed.

If someone on the Lyx team wants to discuss with me, please don't hesitate
to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

George
