Building LyX with CMake For all builds: - CMake 2.4 or CVS version from www.cmake.org - install Qt 3 and set QTDIR Building Visual C++ 2005 project files: - install Visual C++ 2005 - install Platform SDK 2005, "Core" and "Web Workshop" - add include and library paths of the SDK to the IDE search paths, menu: Tools->Options->VC++ directories->Library files + Include files - install zlib (www.zlib.net) into %ProgramFiles%/GnuWin32/include+lib or %ProgramFiles%/zlib/include+lib - create a build directory, e.g. .../trunk/../build - call in the build directory 'cmake ..\trunk\development\cmake' - start lyx.sln TIPS: - rename Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcpackages\feacp.dll to disable Intellisense - the Release build links much faster Building with GCC/Linux: - create a build directory, e.g. .../trunk/../build - call in the build directory 'cmake ..\trunk\development\cmake' Building with GCC/Windows (Win2k only works with MSYS, XP?): - install zlib (www.zlib.net) into %ProgramFiles%/GnuWin32/include+lib - create a build directory, e.g. .../trunk/../build - call: export QMAKESPEC=win32-g++ (MSYS) or set QMAKESPEC=win32-g++ (CMD) - call in the build directory 'cmake ..\trunk\development\cmake' To generate other build files call 'cmake' which shows a list of possibilities. The build process tries to find aspell and iconv on Windows in %ProgramFiles%/GnuWin32/ and in /usr/ or in /usr/local under Linux. If they are not found the support is disabled.
