Not a native port that uses any NeXTStep features.
However, if there is an xforms port for your system it shouldn't be two
difficult to get it to build. Hmmm... you might even need to install
libXpm if your system doesn't already have it.
I'm not very familiar with NeXT but I think from memory it runs Display
Postscript which doesn't use X-Windows if that's the case it should still
be possible to build LyX but will require a bit of extra code in a few
places to substite X-Windows calls (not too many but enough to be
annoying). [Any other developers know if NeXT normally runs X11?]
Your best bet would be to download the latest prerelease of 1.0.0
(which is either pre7 or pre8 by now) and (assuming an xforms port exists)
try compiling it. If you get a bunch of errors, myself and the other
developers will try to assist in getting it built. Of course, that would
require you to be our eyes and hands.
I've cc'ed this reply to the LyX Developers list so you may be lucky, one
of them may know if its been done before however its not listed in the
documentation and I don't remember hearing about it being done before.
