Building the installer
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
1. extract the source zip-file to e.g. the path "C:\LyX-Installer"
|
||||
2. open the file settings.nsh with a text editor
|
||||
and adapt there the following paths to the ones on your PC, e.g.:
|
||||
!define FILES_LYX "C:\LyX-Installer\LyXPackage\LyX"
|
||||
!define FILES_DEPS "C:\LyX-Installer\LyX2.2x\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015"
|
||||
!define FILES_QT "C:\LyX-Installer\LyXPackage\LyX"
|
||||
3. install the latest version 3.x of NSIS (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download)
|
||||
4. install the NSIS Large Strings build (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Special_Builds)
|
||||
To build the installer do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- install the latest version 3.x of NSIS (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download)
|
||||
- install the NSIS Large Strings build (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Special_Builds)
|
||||
(extract the extension ZIP file in your NSIS installation folder and this way overwrite some files)
|
||||
5. open the file FindProcDLL Unicode bin.zip (that is part of this bundle),
|
||||
extract from it the file FindProc.dll to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of
|
||||
NSIS's installation folder
|
||||
6. open the file Inetc.zip (that is part of this bundle),
|
||||
extract from it the file INetC.dll to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of
|
||||
NSIS's installation folder
|
||||
7. right-click on the file lyx-standard.nsi and choose "Compile NSIS script"
|
||||
to compile the standard installer
|
||||
8. right-click on the file lyx-bundle.nsi and choose "Compile NSIS script"
|
||||
to compile the bundle installer
|
||||
- download the plugin FindProcDLL, choose the release for unicode (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/FindProcDLL_plug-in),
|
||||
extract from it the file FindProc.dll to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of NSIS's installation folder
|
||||
- download the plugin Inetc (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Inetc_plug-in)
|
||||
extract the content into the NSIS's installation folder
|
||||
- open the file settings.nsh with a text editor and adapt the settings for your need. A good text editor
|
||||
for NSIS development is e.g. Visual Studio Code with the NSIS extension.
|
||||
- right-click on the file lyx-standard.nsi and choose "Compile NSIS script"

Updating dependencies
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
- Imagemagick:
|
||||
download the portable version of imagemagick for windows from https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php (32 or 64 bit),
|
||||
current version is 7.0.10-0
|
||||
extract the zip archive, there will be many executable files which are the exact same size as "magick.exe" which is
|
||||
the only executable LyX needs, delete these redundant executables. Also delete ffmpeg.exe and IMDisplay.exe.
|
||||
The resulting folder size should be around 15-16 MB
|
||||
|
||||
- Ghostscript
|
||||
download ghostscript for windows from https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html (32 or 64 bit), current version is 9.50
|
||||
install to your computer or open the installer executable with 7zip, extract the folders "bin" and "lib" from the installdir/archive
|
||||
to %%dependencies%%\ghostscript.
|
||||
|
||||
- Python
|
||||
download the latest Python 2 release for windows from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ (32 or 64 bit),
|
||||
current version is 2.7.17
|
||||
Install it or extract with a tool named lessmsi. If you install it, you will have to find python27.dll in the
|
||||
Windows\System32 folder. 64-bit dlls on a 64-bit windows are stored in Windows\System32 folder, 32-bit dlls on a 64-bit windows
|
||||
are stored in Windows\SysWOW64. Copy this python27.dll to %%dependencies%%\Python, from the python installation folder copy
|
||||
all files and "DLLs", "Lib" and "libs" subfolders to %%dependencies%%\Python. You can uninstall python afterwards.
|
||||
If you extracted with lessmsi, you will also get visual studio runtime dlls and some executables, which are used during installation,
|
||||
these are not needed. Copy the 2 python executables, the python dll, the 3 textfiles (license, news and readme) and the "DLLs",
|
||||
"Lib" and "libs" subfolders to %%dependencies%%\Python.
|
||||
|
||||
- Visual Studio runtime
|
||||
Download the latest Visual C++ Redistributable (if you still haven't), the version should match with your VS C++ compiler

||||
concrt140.dll
|
||||
msvcp140.dll
|
||||
vcamp140.dll
|
||||
vccorlib140.dll
|
||||
vcomp140.dll
|
||||
vcruntime140.dll
|
||||
For 64 bit you will additionally need
|
||||
vcruntime140_1.dll
|
||||
See the Python description above for explanation of different store locations of 64 and 32 bit dlls. Copy these dlls to
|
||||
%%dependencies%%\bin.

||||
|
||||
