Building LyX on Cygwin

To build lyx, you will need to install the following cygwin packages
|

aspell gzip libiconv libQtGui4
|
|
|
|
|
aspell-dev gettext libpng libQtGui4-devel

gcc gettext-devel libQtCore4 pkg-config

|
Two building systems can be used to build lyx on cygwin: the traditional
|
|
|
|
|
autotools (autoconf, automake, make etc), and a scons build system.
|
|
|
|
|
The former is the preferred method and it does not differ from building lyx
|
|
|
|
|
on any typical posix system, so you are referred to the INSTALL file.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that it is not advisable using the cmake build system on cygwin for
|
|
|
|
|
the reasons explained here: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=10122

|
|
|
If you prefer using scons, you will have to install it separately, as it
|
|
|
|
|
is not available as a cygwin package, and then build lyx with the command
|
2004-12-01 09:07:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-09-08 02:01:45 +00:00
|
|
|
> python scons.py -f development/scons/SConstruct mode=release install
|
2004-12-01 09:07:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-09-08 02:01:45 +00:00
|
|
|
Optionally, you can install to a DESTDIR using a command similar to
|
2004-12-01 09:07:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-09-08 02:01:45 +00:00
|
|
|
> python scons.py -f development/scons/SConstruct mode=release DESTDIR=./test install
|
2004-12-01 09:07:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-09-08 02:01:45 +00:00
|
|
|
For more details about the use of scons, please refer to INSTALL.scons.
|
2010-03-06 22:38:47 +00:00
|
|
|
However, be aware that scons is not fully supported on cygwin and you may
|
|
|
|
|
be missing some features (reverse dvi/pdf search, for example) and some
|
|
|
|
|
cygwin-specific ancillary programs that you get when building with autotools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When lyx is built as outlined above, it will be a X-Window application,
|
|
|
|
|
so you will need a X-server for running it. It is possible to build lyx
|
|
|
|
|
as a cygwin application but using the native Windows GDI backend instead
|
|
|
|
|
of X11. You are referred to the lyx wiki for instructions:
