Hi all,
I didn't subscribe to the list since it has a huge volume of emails. I
might have missed some discussion on making LyX RPMs like lyx-common,
lyx-xforms and lyx-qt, though I did have checked the archive.
I modified the lyx.spec file from lyx-1.3.2 source tree so that it has
better relocation support and it builds separate packages, named
lyx-common, lyx-xforms, and lyx-qt. They can be installed together, or
separately (though lyx-xforms and lyx-qt will ask for lyx-common).
A shell script is also provided to pick an installed frontend. Here are
some situations, assuming lyx-common is installed
1. only lyx-qt installed: Type 'lyx' will give you the qt frontend
2. both lyx-xforms and lyx-qt installed: Type 'lyx' will give you the
xforms frontend, or see 3 for another case.
3. both installed and with environment var LYX_FRONTEND set to "qt":
Type 'lyx' will give you the qt frontend.
The design is flexible for more future frontends.
To support running lyx under the name lyx-xforms or lyx-qt while the
RPMs are not installed in the default locations, symbol links to
%_prefix/share/lyx are needed. That is, say, if lyx was compiled with
_prefix=/usr and relocated to /usr/local/lyx-1.3.2 when the RPM was
installed, lyx-qt expects lyxrc.defaults to be in
/usr/local/lyx-1.3.2/share/lyx-qt. LyX 1.4cvs seems to have a different
lyx_main.C and I am not sure if this is still needed for LyX 1.4.
Here I attach the lyx.spec and lyx-select.sh. The RPMs for RedHat Linux
9 are shared at http://apt.ling.li/rpms/. Release 1.3.2-4 uses pspell
while 1.3.2-3 doesn't. If you like either release, please put them in
LyX's ftp site since my machine could not afford (the possible) heavy
network traffic.
I noticed that there was a patch which allows to build several frontends
in the same tree. This will sure speed up the building process but I
haven't used it in my build.

%description
LyX is a modern approach to writing documents which breaks with the
obsolete "typewriter paradigm" of most other document preparation
systems.
It is designed for people who want professional quality output
with a minimum of time and effort, without becoming specialists in
typesetting.
The major innovation in LyX is WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean).
That is, the author focuses on content, not on the details of formatting.
This allows for greater productivity, and leaves the final typesetting
to the backends (like LaTeX) that are specifically designed for the task.
With LyX, the author can concentrate on the contents of his writing,
and let the computer take care of the rest.
