COMPILING LyX for Win32
|
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.4 can be build with MinGW/MSYS. To compile LyX, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 Install a MSYS/MinGW environment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* MSYS 1.0.10 or later
|
|
|
|
|
* MinGW Installer 5.0.3 or later
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install MSYS in c:\msys and MinGW in c:\msys\mingw. When installing MinGW,
|
|
|
|
|
select the Candidate package and a Full installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 Install the dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-mingw.zip
|
|
|
|
|
and extract in c:\msys
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3 Compile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, copy the LyX source code to c:\msys\home\lyx-14
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, start MSYS and enter:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd /home/lyx-14/development/Win32/packaging
|
|
|
|
|
./build_lyxwin.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compilation will start and take quite some time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are compiling a development (SVN) version, you will be asked to run
|
|
|
|
|
autogen.sh in a Cygwin environment. Download and install Cygwin
|
|
|
|
|
(www.cygwin.com) with automake/autoconf, start the Cygwin console and
|
|
|
|
|
enter:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd /cygdrive/c/msys/home/lyx-14
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then follow step 3 again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4 Create the installer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download
|
|
|
|
|
and install the latest NSIS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also download the latest Python from www.python.org and install in
|
|
|
|
|
C:\Python24
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, go to C:\msys\home\lyx-14\development\Win32\packaging\installer
|
|
|
|
|
(in a normal Windows Explorer), right-click on lyx.nsi and click
|
|
|
|
|
"Compile NSIS Script".
|
|
|
