LyX/Cygwin ========== Ruurd Reitsma <R.A.Reitsma@wbmt.tudelft.nl> Bo Peng <ben.bob#gmail.com> 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. 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 Then, build lyx with command > python scons.py -f development/scons/SConstruct mode=release install 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. Acknowledgements ================ Many thanks to Steven van Dijk, Claus Hentschel and Miyata Shigeru for starting the porting business, and Enrico Forestieri for many cygwin-related improvements.
