If you just want to use LyX, get the official Windows installer and
|
|
|
|
|
use that. More detailed help can be found on the wiki at
|
|
|
|
|
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to compile LyX yourself, there are a number of ways to do
|
|
|
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LyX has been ported to Win32 using three different compilers:
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ compiler (VC). MinGW gcc, or Cygwin gcc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are also three different build solutions avaiable: Scons, Cmake
|
|
|
|
|
or using the traditional Unix autoconf machinery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALL.scons covers how to build using SCons, using any of the three
|
|
|
|
|
compilers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development/cmake/README.cmake explains how to build using CMake. This
|
|
|
|
|
is especially good with VC, because it produces real .sln files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See INSTALL.win32 for info about how to build using Cygwin.
|
|

|
Joost has prepared a .zip package with most of the stuff that you'll
|
|
|
|
|
need to compile LyX yourself. Get that from
|
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc.zip.
|
|
|
|
|
Unzip in c:\program files\ and rename the directory to gnuwin32, and
|
|
|
|
|
you will find that the CMake solution works almost out of the box,
|
|
|
|
|
if you have Visual Studio.
