Re: LyX - Mailing Lists

[Sean]

How do I get LyX to work in a directory besides /Applications/? 
Specifically, I want to stick it in a subdirectory 
/Applications/Productivity/. LyX, for some reason, has the path 
/Applications/ internally hard coded (you can check this with a hex 
editor - just search for the path). I can get it to run from the 
command line by launching it with an absolute path an giving it the 
argument -sysdir, but I can't figure out how to make it back in to a 
double-clickable app. I've tried moving the executable and replacing 
with either a shell script and a compiled c executable (both just 
running the command I would enter in the CLI), but LyX will launch 
frozen (even if a attach an & to the end of the command).

Is there any way to get LyX to be a double clickable, run anywhere app? 
In theory, this would entail some kind of script (shell or apple) that 
would figure out the full path of the program, and launch it with the 
appropriate arguments. Even better would be if the executable itself 
did this, but there may be some obscure technical reasons I'm unaware 
of why it cannot.
