1 Install MSVC 2015
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't have Visual C++ 2015 installed, get the free Community edition
|
||||
from https://www.visualstudio.com/
|
||||
from https://www.visualstudio.com/. Make sure that the following two
|
||||
features are selected for installation:
|
||||
- "Visual C++" from "Programming languages" (only the first option
|
||||
"Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" is needed)
|
||||
- "Tools and Windows SDKs" from "Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools"
|
||||
The latter one requires Windows 8.1. If you use an older windows version
|
||||
please install the "Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) für Windows 8.1"
|
||||
from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-8-1-sdk.
|
||||
This version requires at least Windows 7.
|
||||
If the build complains later that it cannot find the file
|
||||
C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props then the SDK is not installed properly.
|
||||
|
||||
2 Install Qt
|
||||
|
||||
Download the latest Qt for Open Source C++ development on Windows (VS2015)
|
||||
from https://qt.io/download-open-source/
|
||||
Qt 5.6.x is recommended, but 5.7.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.
|
||||
C:\Qt\Qt5.6.1\5.6\msvc2015\bin) is listed in the PATH environment variable.

Alternatively, you can create a .bat file that first contains the line
|
||||
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
|
||||
and then calls the CMake GUI and use this .bat file to start CMake.
|
||||
This is for building a 32bit LyX, if you want to build a 64bit LyX replace
|
||||
'x86' by 'amd64'.
|
||||
The MSVC 2015 command prompt or vcvarsall.bat set some environment
|

variables that are needed for CMake to find the compiler.

Click Configure and set the generator to Visual Studio 14.
|

Click Configure and set the generator to "Visual Studio 14 2015" to
|
