Happy
to announce that I compiled successfully the LyX 2.0 svn version on MacOSX
10.4 Tiger today.
Thanks to the hints from Julio Rojas and Guenter Milde, and the especially
the kindly helping of "BH" <bewih...@gmail.com>, all on
gmane.editors.lyx.general (ML lyx-users@lists.lyx.org) within the thread
"Lyx 2.0".
The general way I followed is described in the INSTALL.MacOSX which you
get if downloading the source files by
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel
After assuring that the PREREQUISITES mentioned therein were already
fullfilled on my Mac,
I made the following:
I cd'd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy (in my case: $ cd
/Developer/Applications/lyx-devel/ ), and entered:
$ ./autogen.sh
after that - in the case of _my_ Mac - I continued with:
$ ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-svn
--with-qt4-dir=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/ --with-included-gettext
--enable-optimization=-O2 --disable-stdlib-debug
$ make
$ make install
… and had a LyX Version 2.0.0svn on the place of my former LyX 1.6.
And it seems to work properly, so far.
But:
this result, the _overwriting_ of the former LyX 1.6 had not been intended
by me. To keep the actual LyX 1.6.5 installation, what should I had typed
within the $ ./configure command?
$ ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX-svn.app --with-…
or
$ ./configure --prefix=/<some other path than that to
Applications>/LyX.app --with-…
??
Wouldn't be bad, if this would be made somewhat clear in INSTALL.MacOSX!
And, if I want to recover the mistake I made, what to do?
I guess the easyest way would be, to do the procedure of compiling the LyX
Version 2.0.0svn again but with a corrected $ ./configure command (which
one?) and then install LyX 1.6.5 again, right? Other recommendations?
