LyX for 770/N800?
 
Does anyone know whether LyX (http://www.lyx.org/) is portable to Maemo, given the existence of MeamoTeX?

And if so, is anyone willing to do it? :D

It would not be easy, given that uses either Qt or Xforms for its widget set, and depends on loads of extra libraries that haven't been ported to Maemo yet. "portage -pv lyx", on a fully set up Gentoo/Gnome box with tetex and a barebones Qt3 already installed, still wanted to pull in another 100MB of sources to build Lyx. And Maemo is much more sparse - there would probably be in excess of half a gigabyte of sourcecode to gtkize, hildonize and besides that to patch into peaceful cooperation with a low-memory-footprint non-x86 system...

I was afraid it wasn't going to be that simple. :rolleyes: But ISTR that there is a GTK(+) version of LyX around, probably only version 1.4.x, but still...
