LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and not simply
their appearance (WYSIWYG).
LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the ease
of use of a graphical interface. This results in world-class support
for creation of mathematical content (via a fully integrated equation
editor) and structured documents like academic articles, theses,
and books. In addition, staples of scientific authoring such as
reference list and index creation come standard. But you can also
use LyX to create a letter or a novel or a theatre play or film
script. A broad array of ready, well-designed document layouts are
built in.
LyX is for people who want their writing to look great, right out
of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details,
"finger painting" font attributes or futzing around with page
boundaries. You just write. On screen, LyX looks like any word
processor; its printed output - or richly cross-referenced PDF,
just as readily produced - looks like nothing else.
LyX is released under a Free Software/Open Source license, runs on
Linux/Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X, and is available in several
languages.

Remove expired ports:
2013-07-11 databases/embedded_innodb: The Embedded InnoDB project was terminated
a few years ago
2013-07-11 print/lyx16: Unmaintained upstream, upgrading to the 2.x series is
advised
2013-07-11 security/py-crack: Superseded by security/py-cracklib
Deprecate print/lyx16 and expire it in 1 month.
The final release of the 1.6 series was made around 2 years ago, and the 2.x
series should be stable enough now.
Concretely, this port probably has problems building with clang, and there
isn't much point in keeping it around with duct tape just for the sake of
it.
- Add LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV and MAKE_ENV (as it was done with LDFLAGS)
- Fix all ports that add {CPP,LD}FLAGS to *_ENV to modify flags instead
