Compiling LyX 2.0 for Win32 Compiling LyX 2.0 for Win32
=========================== ===========================
LyX 2.0 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (recommended) or MinGW. It's recommended to compile LyX using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and CMake.
Note that you should not have spaces in the path of the source code. 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 These instructions assume the LyX source code is installed in C:\LyX\lyx-20
Express edition from http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/ You can also use another directory if you prefer.
2 Install Python 1 Install MSVC 2010
Get the latest Python 2.6 version at 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/4.7/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.
3 Install Python
Install the latest Python 2.x version from

Environment Variables).
3 Install SCons Install the latest CMake from http://www.cmake.org
Download the latest SCons version from http://www.scons.org/download.php 5 Configure
4 Install the dependencies - Run the CMake GUI.
Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008.zip - Set the source code path to C:\LyX\lyx-20\development\cmake
and extract in the root directory of your LyX files (so you will get Set the build path to C:\LyX\lyx-20-build

like src, development etc.).
5 Compile - Enable LYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD and click Configure.
Pre-compiled dependencies will automatically be downloaded.
Start a Visual Studio command prompt (Start > Programs > - Set QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE to e.g.
Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition > Visual Studio Tools > C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1\bin\qmake.exe

cd <lyx root directory>\development\Win32\packaging - Enable the LYX_INSTALL option, set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to
build_msvc.bat C:\LyX\lyx-20-install and click Configure.
6 First start of LyX - Check the Advanced checkbox.
Set GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE to
C:\LyX\lyx-20-build\msvc2010-deps\deps20\gettext-tools\msgfmt.exe,
and do the same for the other gettext tools.
To start the just compiled lyx.exe, it is necessary to copy the following - Click Generate.

These instructions allow you to create a basic LyX build with MinGW. You may also add the location of your LaTeX installation if it's not on the

Creating an installer for MinGW builds is no longer supported.
1 Install MinGW, and all the gcc-related stuff, and win32api. 9 Start LyX
2 download qt-win-opensource-4.x.x-mingw.exe and install to c:\qt. C:\LyX\lyx-20-install\bin\lyx.exe
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-2.0.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-2.0.x
$ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct \
extra_lib_path=..\mingw_deps\lib \
extra_inc_path=..\mingw_deps\include \

install
Creating the Installer Creating the Installer
====================== ======================
To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download The installer for LyX 2.0 is currently being developed.
and install the latest 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
