Compiling LyX 1.5 for Win32
===========================
LyX 1.5 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005.
Compiling
=========
1 Install MSVC 2005
If you don't have MSVC 2005 installed, download and install the free
Express edition from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/
You also need to install the Platform SDK, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
2 Install Python
Get the latest Python 2.5 version at
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/
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 and install SCons 0.96.92 from http://www.scons.org/download.php
4 Install the dependencies
Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc-qt4.zip
and extract in the root directory of your LyX files (so you will get
a directory called lyx-windows-deps-msvc next to the other directories
like src, development etc.).
5 Compile
From MS Visual Studio command prompt (not the regular cmd.exe),
run development\Win32\packaging\build_msvc.bat
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".
