Compiling LyX 1.6 for Win32
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.6 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (recommended) or MinGW.
|
|
|
|
Compiling with MSVC 2008
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
1 Install MSVC 2008
|
|
|
|
If you don't have MSVC 2008 installed, download and install the free
|
|
Express edition from http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/
|
|
|
|
2 Install Python
|
|
|
|
Get the latest Python 2.5 version at
|
|
http://www.python.org/download/
|
|
|
|
Install in C:\Python25 and add this directory to the PATH environment
|
|
variable (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced >
|
|
Environment Variables).
|
|
|
|
3 Install SCons
|
|
|
|
Download the latest SCons version from http://www.scons.org/download.php
|
|
|
|
4 Install the dependencies
|
|
|
|
Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008.zip
|
|
and extract in the root directory of your LyX files (so you will get
|
|
a directory called lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008 next to the other directories
|
|
like src, development etc.).
|
|
|
|
5 Compile
|
|
|
|
Start a Visual Studio command prompt (Start > Programs >
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition > Visual Studio Tools >
|
|
Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt) and run:
|
|
|
|
cd <lyx root directory>\development\Win32\packaging
|
|
build_msvc.bat
|
|
|
|
6 First start of LyX
|
|
|
|
To start the just compiled lyx.exe, it is necessary to copy the following
|
|
files to the folder where the just compiled "lyx.exe" is:
|
|
|
|
Aiksaurus.dll
|
|
aspell.dll
|
|
iconv.dll
|
|
intl.dll
|
|
Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
|
|
msvcp90.dll
|
|
msvcr90.dll
|
|
QtCore4.dll
|
|
QtGui4.dll
|
|
|
|
msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll are the C Runtime and C++ libraries
|
|
supplied with MSVC 2008. They are freely redistributable.
|
|
See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kche8ah.aspx
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
All of the other .dlls above and the lyx executable are compiled
|
|
from code released under the GPL which states (section 3) that
|
|
GPL software may be linked against system files such as msvcp90.dll
|
|
and msvcr90.dll.
|
|
|
|
Compiling with MinGW
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
These instructions allow you to create a basic LyX build with MinGW.
|
|
To be able to use all LyX features, compiling with MSVC 2008 is recommended.
|
|
Creating an installer for MinGW builds is no longer supported.
|
|
|
|
1 Install MinGW, and all the gcc-related stuff, and win32api.
|
|
|
|
2 download qt-win-opensource-4.x.x-mingw.exe and install to c:\qt.
|
|
|
|
3 install python and scons as instructed above. Set $path for python
|
|
to make your life a bit easier.
|
|
|
|
4 Check out lyx svn to c:\lyx-devel\lyx-1.6.x
|
|
|
|
5 Download zlib binaries and developer files (zlib-1.2.3-bin.zip and
|
|
zlib-1.2.3-lib.zip) from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm
|
|
libiconv from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm
|
|
gettext from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm
|
|
unpack all of them to the same directory c:\lyx-devel\mingw_deps.
|
|
|
|
6 start a command window, run commands:
|
|
$ cd c:\lyx-devel\lyx-1.6.x
|
|
$ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct \
|
|
extra_lib_path=..\mingw_deps\lib \
|
|
extra_inc_path=..\mingw_deps\include \
|
|
extra_bin_path=..\mingw_deps\bin \
|
|
qt_dir=c:\qt \
|
|
DESTDIR=..\lyx-1.6-install \
|
|
install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating the Installer
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download
|
|
and install the latest NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
|
|
|
|
Open development\Win32\packaging\installer\setttings.user.nsh and modify
|
|
the settings depending on your build environment.
|
|
|
|
Finally, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
|
|
(in a normal Windows Explorer), right-click on lyx.nsi and click
|
|
"Compile NSIS Script".
|
|
|
|
You can also use the installer target of scons. Namely, use a command like
|
|
$ scons -f development\scons\SConscript installer
|
|
This will create $BUILDDIR\lyx-version-timestamp-Installer.exe for a devel version,
|
|
and $BUILDDIR\lyx-version-Install.exe for a released version of lyx.
|
|
|
|
If you also want to generate bundled installer, download
|
|
lyx-windows-bundle-deps.zip from http://www.lyx.org/~bpeng, unpack
|
|
to lyx-windows-bundle-deps under the top source directory, and run
|
|
$ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct installer bundle=1
|
|
If you prefer to use another directory, you can use option bundle_dir like
|
|
$ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct installer bundle=1 bundle_dir=c:\bundle
|
