README for Win32 by Ruurd Reitsma (R.A.Reitsma@wbmt.tudelft.nl)
|
|
================================================================
|
|
|
|
Lyx has been ported to Win32 using the Cygwin environement. The port
|
|
consists of a few small tweaks to deal with DOS-style pathnames, so
|
|
LyX can use Win32 TeX distros like fptex and MiKTeX. There's also a
|
|
cygwin TeTeX port, but the native Win32 ports have a definite speed
|
|
advantage. Besides that, nothing fancy.
|
|
|
|
The prerequisites are (obviously?):
|
|
|
|
* cygwin installation (http://www.cygwin.com/).
|
|
* decent X server; eXceed, X-Win32, or maybe even Cygwin/XFree86.
|
|
* working TeX installation; fpTex, MikTex.
|
|
|
|
It should compile out of the box, but there might be some libraries
|
|
missing in the final link step. You'll have to add them to the Makefile
|
|
by hand. Be sure to include -lregex, because cygwin's builtin regex is
|
|
sortof weird (filedialogs will turn up empty...)
|
|
|
|
If you want to run lyx with no console windows open, there's a small
|
|
program in development/Win32 that will set the proper environment vars
|
|
and start lyx.
|
|
|
|
Compile with:
|
|
|
|
gcc lyxwin32.C -O2 -o lyxwin32 -static -Wall -Wno-format \
|
|
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -mwindows -e _mainCRTStartup
|
|
|
|
Also make sure the latex binaries are in your Windows path. Windvi and
|
|
Yap are auto detected, and you might want to make a symlink to Adobe
|
|
Acrobat so it's detected too:
|
|
|
|
ln -s //c/Program\ Files/adobe/Acrobat\ 4.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe \
|
|
/usr/bin/acroread
|
|
|
|
Many thanks to Steven van Dijk, Claus Hentschel and Miyata Shigeru for
|
|
starting the porting business.
