The following instructions assume the LyX source code is in C:\LyX\repo

You can also use another directory if you prefer.

For repository cloning and version control you can use Git https://git-scm.com/download/win
|

or the Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2019

You will need the Workload "Desktopdevelopment with C++" and you can also install Python 3
|
||||
(either selecting Python-Development workload or just Python 3 in the individual components tab)
|
||||
in the Visual Studio installer, so that you don't have to install it separately
|
||||
|
||||
2 Install Qt
|
||||
|
||||
Download the latest Qt for Open Source C++ development on Windows (VS2017)
|
||||
Download the latest Qt online installer for Open Source development on Windows
|
||||
from https://qt.io/download-open-source/
|
||||
Qt 5.12.x is recommended, but 5.9.x or later versions should work as well.
|
||||
If you want to build LyX as 32bit application, you need Qt x86.
|
||||
If you want to build LyX as 64bit application, you need Qt x64.
|
||||
Make sure that the bin subfolder of the Qt installation (e.g.
|
||||
The newest Qt is 5.12.6, in the installer you will need to expand that category and mark MSVC 2017 32-bit and/or
|
||||
MSVC 2017 64-bit, depending on which versions of LyX you want to build.
|
||||
Note, you dont need to Install the "old" 2017 build tools in Visual Studio installer,
|
||||
the 2019 ones are compatible with MSVC 2017 kits installed with Qt.
|
||||
Qt should install in C:\Qt.
|
||||
|
||||
3 Install Python
|
||||
|
||||
Install the latest Python 3.x version from
|
||||
https://www.python.org/downloads/
|
||||
Assure that you use the installer option "Add Python 3.x to PATH"
|
||||
If you install Python through Visual Studio installer, just find it under Settings > Apps,
|
||||
select "Change" and enable the "Add to PATH" option; or add the path, in which the python.exe
|
||||
is located manually to the PATH environment variable, should be something like:
|
||||
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64

Debugging
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
- Open LyX.sln
|
||||
|
||||
- In Solution Explorer open applications\LyX\LyX\main.cpp, the main function is the entry point,
|
||||
you can e.g. place breakpoints in there.
|
||||
|
||||
- On the menu bar in Solution Explorer there is a button "Switch Views", click on that and choose "Folder view"
|
||||
(to go back to normal view, click Switch Views again and choose "LyX.sln")
|
||||
|
||||
- In folder view find "LyX.exe" in "LYX_INSTALLED\bin" folder, rightclick > Set as Startup Item
|
||||
|
||||
- Start debugging with F5, clicking the Debug button (it shows now "LyX.exe") or rigchtlicking on LyX.exe in
|
||||
Solution Explorer - Folder View and choosing "Debug".
|
||||
(Starting debugging will have to be always with active Folder View. Attempting to start debugging with
|
||||
normal view active will start LyX.exe located in e.g. C:\LyX\build\bin\Debug, it won't find the dependencies
|
||||
and will therefore fail. Once debugging has started you can switch back to normal view of the Solution Explorer)

Creating a patch file containing a bugfix
|
||||
=========================================
|
||||
|
||||
If you managed to fix a bug but dont have the rights to push your commits, you will want to create a patch file
|
||||
and share it with other developers. To do so you will have to do following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure you are working on the newest versions, pull from git before you start bugfixing.
|
||||
|
||||
- After fixing a bug create a commit (it will be on your local repo and not on server), if there is a bugreport for it
|
||||
put the Ticket nr. as description.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use this command in git bash:
|
||||
git format-patch -1 HEAD
|
||||
it will create a patch file in your repository folder, this is what you share.

||||

||||
