Important note: Is recommended to receive the following key before to install:

$ gpg --recv-keys DE7A44FAC7FB382D

Also is possible skip the verification, adding the flag for (e.g makepkg, yay) --skippgpcheck, --nopgpfetch, respectively.

BTW, currently default servers not working, however the mirrors do, for example https://mirrors.ibiblio.org is working fine...

Thanks for the clarification, and many thanks for maintaining the lyx package. Have a nice day!

Our default server, which is located in France, may sometimes be slow or unavailable. If so, you might prefer to use one of the mirrors listed below. Usually, choosing one close to you is a good idea. Source code will be found in the stable/ directory, and binaries in the bin/ directory.

Both ftp://ftp.lyx.org/ and https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/ point to the same primary server, but unless you actively check the signatures of downloaded files, we recommend that you use the https protocol.

Why is the source downloaded from https://ftp.lip6.fr and not from the official lyx domain?

Hi and thanks for maintaining this package. Do you have any insight as to why the package refers to $srcdir:

==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir usr/bin/lyxclient usr/bin/lyx usr/bin/tex2lyx

Thanks

Hi @samuel.jimenez, I can not reproduce the issue. I could advice uninstall boost and install it again, and try compile lyx.

Build fails when trying to configure boost:

checking whether to use included boost library... no
checking for multithreaded boost libraries... no
checking for plain boost libraries... no
configure: error: cannot find suitable boost library (do not use --without-included-boost)
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

Edit: For anyone encountering a similar error, my problem was caused by a corrupted gcc install. The fix:

pacman -S  gcc gcc-libs

Getting an error:

Using autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.72

This autoconf version is not supported by LyX.

LyX only supports autoconf 2.65-2.69, 2.71.

Thanks @arch_lyx. Yes, it is possible to append do base-devel group in th dependencies array, but Arch Wiki does not recommend do this, instead any AUR user must have this group anytime.

morning,

to avoid errors on QTDIR not set / correct / no found /... please add "base-devel group" as package dependencies

(those packages are necessary to compile qt program)

for workaround users can modify pkgbuild file at installation time to add this dependency.

for the gpg import key (from lyx developers) as today october 2023 only ubuntu keyserver seem to respond correctly so you could use this command to import: gpg --keyser hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371 --recv-keys FE66471B43559707AFDAD955DE7A44FAC7FB382D

hope thoses informations will help some users.
