I made a big effort some time ago to try and get LyX to compile with a non-GNU make. I wonder what is going wrong. Could you post some further information. Similarly, could you detail the problems that you have with Sun's sed and tar? > and make minor chage in the script -> make_tex2lyx_dist.sh.patch These look good.

One point for future sh scripts: test -r $1.tex || usage $0 "$1.tex non readable" "usage" will receive a $0 of "foo bar" as two separate words unless you enclose it in double quotes. So, the command should be: test -r $1.tex || usage "$0" "$1.tex non readable" (I'll make the changes and post the script.) > 3/ I performed a test on a recent report with math, figures and > bibliography that I recently wrote with LyX.
