BUG: lyx-1.4.0pre3 fails to download + compile issue on intel

[ossgil@…]

First the source file for the current LyX port is no longer present on the original server (lyx-1.4.0pre3.tar.gz). Replacing it with the 1.4.3 release initially fails on intel machines since the port requires gcc-3.3, which will not compile for intel. Removing this requirement, by modifying the Portfile further, allows for a succesful install. Finally I have modified the Portfile to make LyX install into /Applications/MacPorts/ instead of the old /Applications/DarwinPorts/ directory. I have been using the compiled version and it seems to run ok, however it does exhibits crashes upon exiting.

Modified Portfile included. No changes were made to the patch.

long_description        LyX is an advanced open source document processor \
                                that encourages an approach to writing based on \
                                the structure of your documents, not their \
                                appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, \
                                leaving details of visual layout to the software.

1.4.4 is out now.

Change sha1 to 83af622af96be246180042b780f9c3c771c74067 and version to 1.4.4.

LyX is now at version 1.5.3. Here's a diff which might work, except I can't even get the dependency qt3-mac to compile right now so I don't know.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

untested update to 1.5.3

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Via a private email to me in follow-up to #14502 I learned that the lyx ftp server is ​having ​problems right now and that we should use their mirrors instead. Also the software is at version 1.5.4 now. I still can't try to build it because I still can't build the dependency qt3-mac, but here's an updated (and untested) patch. If anyone can built qt3-mac and verify that this patch works, please add a note here and I'll commit it. Or, if this patch doesn't work, please let me know what error you get.

untested update to 1.5.4 and add mirror sites

The main problem was that LyX now requires Qt 4. I've committed a working 1.5.4 update based on Ryan's patch in r35662.
