Building Lyx under cygwin
=========================
Two building systems are supported to build lyx under cygwin: the traditional
autotools (autoconf, automake, make etc), and a scons build system. The latter
is easier to use and is the preferred method. If you prefer using autotools,
you can find detailed instructions at lyx/wiki.
Building LyX on Cygwin
======================
To build lyx, you will need to install the following cygwin packages
aspell gzip libiconv qt4-bin
aspell-dev jpeg libpng qt4-devel
gcc libintl libpng2
gettext libintl1 jpeg
gettext-devel libintl2 python
aspell gzip libiconv libQtGui4
aspell-dev gettext libpng libQtGui4-devel
gcc gettext-devel libQtCore4 python
gcc4 libintl8 libQtCore4-devel
Then, build lyx with command
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
> python scons.py -f development/scons/SConstruct mode=release install
@ -30,6 +32,15 @@ Optionally, you can install to a DESTDIR using a command similar to
> python scons.py -f development/scons/SConstruct mode=release DESTDIR=./test install
For more details about the use of scons, please refer to INSTALL.scons.
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:
