|
|
|
To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download
|
|
|
|
|
and install the latest NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open development\Win32\packaging\installer\setttings.user.nsh and modify
|
|
|
|
|
the settings depending on your build environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
|
|
|
|
|
(in a normal Windows Explorer), right-click on lyx.nsi and click
|
|
|
|
|
"Compile NSIS Script".
