Right guys. Thanks to QT on Maemo; LyX was a fairly straight-forward port.

I've managed to run this on my N810 and under Scratchbox. However there seems to be a problem installing tetex-bin on my N810 [tetex installs fine in scratchbox *shrugs* can someone look at this please?]

Requirements to run:
qt4

Recommended installs to make this usable:
tetex-bin, tetex-extras, imagemagik

Recommended installs to make this better:
python2.5, evince

Installation:
Get the deb from here.

Launching from the application menu still doesn't work :-/ but I've put the icons/desktop/service files here for you to setup...
For menus, extract the tarball. Place the desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ , the png in /usr/share/pixmaps/ and the service file in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
Create a link to the desktop file in /etc/others-menu/0010_lyx.desktop
Then update the icon cache: gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor
Reboot the IT if icons still don't display. TBH I'm having no end of difficulties working out how the directory structures go to get menus "perfect" so this is probably all wrong.
Update:
Just as I was typing this out LyX shutdown when launched from the menu Looks like I don't yet know how to configure dbus services yet. *sigh* Suggest you run LyX from the command line instead of the menu which works fine!


Configure:
Run LyX from the command line.
If you installed tetex, etc then goto Tools->Reconfigure to setup LyX initially.
If you still have problems with pdflatex not running, try Tools->Preferences->File formats - select PDF and add evince as a viewer in all PDF categories.



Changed:
Initial cross-compilation.
GuiApplication.cpp --> changed pixmap cache to suit N800 (1500kb)


Todo:
Remove need for right-click anywhere.
Setup dependencies to include tetex-bin, tetex-extras, imagemagick, python2.5-bin
Set sleep() for cursor blinking?
Add fullscreen capability as hinted on QT4.garage.




I'll be honest and say that no thanks to tetex not installing, I've not yet managed to run this properly on the N810.

Grrr - damn these file-sharing sites!

Hello,

since the download-link didn't work for me, I compiled lyx for os2008 again. See this thread.
