I finally managed to get a version of LyX with Qt4 to compile on Mac
using gcc-4.1.0. ...
The good news is that it works.
The bad news is that it is S L O W -- much slower than LyX-1.4.0
(Qt3) ever was. And it's slow in every kind of operation, from
launching the application to accessing menus to opening dialogs to
resizing windows to typing ....
I'm not sure if it's worth trying to do anything about this at this
point. Let me know if you want me to attempt any profiling or
anything else.
Also, there are many oddities with the UI. (E.g., the menu entry for
Preferences is grayed out unless a document is open; icon spacing in
toolbars is much too big.) Again, I'm not sure if you want reports on
what I discover.
