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?

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. But ISTR that there is a GTK(+) version of LyX around, probably only version 1.4.x, but still...
