* README.Cygwin: new file, containing the current contents of
README.Win32.
* README.Win32: rewritten to explain why we don't currently
provide formal support for a native Win32 port (other than
one based on Cygwin) and how that may change in the future.

================================================================
README for Cygwin by Ruurd Reitsma (R.A.Reitsma@wbmt.tudelft.nl)
================================================================
LyX has been ported to Win32 using the Cygwin environement. The port
consists of a few small tweaks to deal with DOS-style pathnames, so
LyX can use Win32 TeX distros like fptex and MiKTeX. There's also a
cygwin TeTeX port, but the native Win32 ports have a definite speed
advantage. Besides that, nothing fancy.
The prerequisites are (obviously?):
* cygwin installation (http://www.cygwin.com/).
* decent X server; eXceed, X-Win32, or maybe even Cygwin/XFree86.
* working TeX installation; fpTex, MikTex.
It should compile out of the box, but there might be some libraries
missing in the final link step. You'll have to add them to the Makefile
by hand. Be sure to include -lregex, because cygwin's builtin regex is
sortof weird (filedialogs will turn up empty...)
If you want to run lyx with no console windows open, there's a small
program in development/Win32 that will set the proper environment vars
and start lyx.
Compile with:
gcc lyxwin32.C -O2 -o lyxwin32 -static -Wall -Wno-format \
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -mwindows -e _mainCRTStartup
Also make sure the latex binaries are in your Windows path. Windvi and
Yap are auto detected, and you might want to make a symlink to Adobe
Acrobat so it's detected too:
ln -s //c/Program\ Files/adobe/Acrobat\ 4.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe \
/usr/bin/acroread
Many thanks to Steven van Dijk, Claus Hentschel and Miyata Shigeru for
starting the porting business.

In addition, Ruurd Reitsma has created a native port of LyX on Win32
using the binary Qt/Win32 2.3.0 library. It is not clear whether we
are legally allowed to distribute this library. Certainly, using it
goes against the spirit of Open Source software and we have chosen,
therefore, not to provide formal support for Ruurd's port.
* cygwin installation (http://www.cygwin.com/).
* decent X server; eXceed, X-Win32, or maybe even Cygwin/XFree86.
* working TeX installation; fpTex, MikTex.
Having said that, you'll find the executable, together with lots of
useful tips, on Ruurd's site: http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/
The Win32 pages on the LyX wiki will also be useful:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/LyX
Finally, you'll find lots of friendly help on the lyx users'
mailing list: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org

Trolltech has stated that they do not intend to release
Qt/Win under the GPL. However, it is likely that a native port of LyX
to Windows will be supported formally in the future, for two reasons:
If you want to run lyx with no console windows open, there's a small
program in development/Win32 that will set the proper environment vars
and start lyx.
* A frontend for LyX using the Gtk libraries is under active
development. The Gtk libraries for Win32 are indeed released under
the GPL.
Compile with:
gcc lyxwin32.C -O2 -o lyxwin32 -static -Wall -Wno-format \
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -mwindows -e _mainCRTStartup

* Some success has been reported compiling LyX on Win32 using the
GPL-ed port of qt/x11 to Win32 by the kde-cygwin project. See
