Building LyX with CMake
For all builds:
- CMake 2.4 or CVS version from www.cmake.org
- install Qt 4 and make sure qmake 4 is found
(add the folder with qmake to the environment variable PATH)
- by default it builds the Qt4 frontend
- with GNUWIN32_DIR you could point to your gnuwin32 packages
(eg. -DGNUWIN32_DIR=c:\gnuwin32) by default it searches in your
program folder
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
- Warnings:
The default warning level of the msvc cmake builds is now /W4.
The cmake option
-DDISABLEWALL=1
switches to /W3,
-DWALL=1
re enables /W4.
To disable a specific warning add it to MSVC_W_DISABLE of
cmake/CMakeLists.txt. To make the warning an error add it
to MSVC_W_ERROR of the same file.
TIPS: - rename Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcpackages\feacp.dll
to disable Intellisense
- the Release build links much faster
- for the 'Debug' and 'Release' build all precompiled headers are enabled
to compile without pch (to check if all necessary headers are included)
* use 'MinSizeRel' which only precompiles the STL and Boost headers
* use 'RelWithDebInfo' which does not use any precompiled headers
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 on Windows
in %ProgramFiles%/GnuWin32/ and in /usr/ or in /usr/local
under Linux. If it is not found the support is disabled.
