 Compiling LyX 1.6 for Win32
 ===========================

-LyX 1.6 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (recommended) or MinGW.
-Note that you should not have spaces in the path of the source code.
+It's recommended to compile LyX using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and CMake.
+Pre-compiled packages with dependencies are provided for this environment.

-Compiling with MSVC 2008
-========================

-1	Install MSVC 2008
+Compiling with Microsoft Visual C++
+===================================

-	If you don't have MSVC 2008 installed, download and install the free
-	Express edition from http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/
+	Copy the LyX source code to C:\LyX\lyx-16
+	Some of the build scripts currently have issues	with longer paths.
+
+1	Install MSVC 2010
+
+	If you don't have Visual C++ 2010 installed, get the free Express edition from
+	http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/
+
+2	Compile Qt
+
+	Download the latest Qt everywhere open source version from
+	http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/ (e.g. qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1.zip).
+	Follow the instructions on http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/install-win.html to
+	compile using MSVC 2010.
+	The pre-compiled version of Qt cannot be used. It uses the 2008 version of the
+	MSVC runtime which will result in crashes.

 2	Install Python

-	Get the latest Python 2.5 version at
+	Install the latest Python 2.x version from
 	http://www.python.org/download/

-	Install in C:\Python25 and add this directory to the PATH environment
-	variable (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced >
-	Environment Variables).
+3	Install CMake

-3	Install SCons
-
-	Download the latest SCons version from http://www.scons.org/download.php
+	Install the latest CMake from http://www.cmake.org

 4	Install the dependencies

-	Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008.zip
-	and extract in the root directory of your LyX files (so you will get
-	a directory called lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008 next to the other directories
-	like src, development etc.).
+	Download
+	ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/contrib/windows/lyx16-deps-msvc2010-x86.zip
+	Extract this file in the C:\LyX directory and verify that C:\LyX\deps
+	has been created.

-5	Compile
+5	Configure

-	Start a Visual Studio command prompt (Start > Programs >
-	Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition > Visual Studio Tools >
-	Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt) and run:
+	- Run the CMake GUI.
+	 
+	- Set the source code path to C:\LyX\lyx-16\development\cmake
+	  Set the build path to C:\LyX\lyx-16-build
+	  Click Configure and set the generator to Visual Studio 10.

-	cd <lyx root directory>\development\Win32\packaging
-	build_msvc.bat
+	- Set GNUWIN32_DIR to C:\LyX\deps and click Configure again.
+	
+	- Set QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE to e.g.
+	  C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1\bin\qmake.exe
+	  and Configure again.

-6	First start of LyX
+	- Enable the LYX_INSTALL option, set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to
+	  C:\LyX\lyx-16-install and click Configure.
+
+	- Set GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE to C:\LyX\deps\bin\msgfmt.exe,
+	  GETTEXT_MSGMERGE_EXECUTABLE to C:\LyX\deps\bin\msgmerge.exe
+	  etc. and click Configure.
+
+	- Click Generate.
+
+6	Compile
+
+	A Microsoft Visual C++ solution should have been generated at
+	C:\LyX\lyx-16-build\lyx16.sln
+	Compile the INSTALL project to get a LyX installation in
+	C:\LyX\lyx-16-install
+
+6	Start LyX

 	To start the just compiled lyx.exe, it is necessary to copy the following
-	files to the folder where the just compiled "lyx.exe" is:
+	files to C:\LyX\lyx-16-install\bin
+
+	from C:\LyX\deps\bin:

 	Aiksaurus.dll
 	aspell.dll
+	aspelld.dll (if compiling Debug version)
 	iconv.dll
 	intl.dll
-	Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
-	msvcp90.dll
-	msvcr90.dll
+	zlibwapi.dll
+	msvcp100.dll
+	msvcr100.dll
+
+	From C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1\bin:
+	(directory depends on your Qt version)
+
 	QtCore4.dll
 	QtGui4.dll
-
-	msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll are the C Runtime and C++ libraries
-	supplied with MSVC 2008. They are freely redistributable.
-	See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kche8ah.aspx
-	for details.
-
-	All of the other .dlls above and the lyx executable are compiled
-	from code released under the GPL which states (section 3) that
-	GPL software may be linked against system files such as msvcp90.dll
-	and msvcr90.dll.
-
-Compiling with MinGW
-====================
-
-	These instructions allow you to create a basic LyX build with MinGW.
-	To be able to use all LyX features, compiling with MSVC 2008 is recommended.
-	Creating an installer for MinGW builds is no longer supported.
-
-1	Install MinGW, and all the gcc-related stuff, and win32api. 
-
-2	download qt-win-opensource-4.x.x-mingw.exe and install to c:\qt.
-
-3	install python and scons as instructed above. Set $path for python
-	   to make your life a bit easier.
-
-4	Check out lyx svn to c:\lyx-devel\lyx-1.6.x
-
-5	Download zlib binaries and developer files (zlib-1.2.3-bin.zip and
-	   zlib-1.2.3-lib.zip) from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm
-	   libiconv from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm
-	   gettext  from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm
-	   unpack all of them to the same directory c:\lyx-devel\mingw_deps.
-
-6	start a command window, run commands:
-	   $ cd c:\lyx-devel\lyx-1.6.x
-	   $ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct \
-	       extra_lib_path=..\mingw_deps\lib  \
-		   extra_inc_path=..\mingw_deps\include \
-		   extra_bin_path=..\mingw_deps\bin \
-		   qt_dir=c:\qt \
-		   DESTDIR=..\lyx-1.6-install \
-		   install
+	QtCore4d.dll (if compiling Debug version)
+	QtGui4d.dll (if compiling Debug version)


 Creating the Installer
 ======================

-	To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download
-	and install the latest NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
+	Get 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".
-
-	You can also use the installer target of scons. Namely, use a command like
-	   $ scons -f development\scons\SConscript installer
-	This will create $BUILDDIR\lyx-version-timestamp-Installer.exe for a devel version,
-	and $BUILDDIR\lyx-version-Install.exe for a released version of lyx.
-
-	If you also want to generate bundled installer, download 
-	lyx-windows-bundle-deps.zip from http://www.lyx.org/~bpeng, unpack
-	to lyx-windows-bundle-deps under the top source directory, and run
-	  $ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct installer bundle=1
-	If you prefer to use another directory, you can use option bundle_dir like
-	  $ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct installer bundle=1 bundle_dir=c:\bundle
+	Go to development\Win32\packaging\installer (in a normal Windows Explorer),
+	right-click on lyx.nsi and click "Compile NSIS Script".
+	You may have to to modify some of the directories in include\declarations.nsh
+	if case you used non-standard locations.
