Building LyX on Cygwin
======================
To build lyx, you will need to install the following cygwin packages
aspell gzip libiconv libQtGui4
aspell-dev gettext libpng libQtGui4-devel
gcc gettext-devel libQtCore4 pkg-config
gcc4 libintl8 libQtCore4-devel python
Currently only the traditional autotools (autoconf, automake, make etc)
build system is recommended to build LyX on cygwin. It does not differ
from building lyx on any typical posix system, so you are referred to the
INSTALL file.
Note that it is not advisable using the cmake build system on cygwin for
the reasons explained here: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=10122
When lyx is built as outlined above, it will be a X-Window application,
so you will need a X-server for running it. It is possible to build lyx
as a cygwin application but using the native Windows GDI backend instead
of X11. You are referred to the lyx wiki for instructions:

Many thanks to Steven van Dijk, Claus Hentschel and Miyata Shigeru for
starting the porting business, and Enrico Forestieri for many cygwin-related
improvements.
