Compiling LyX 2.0 for Win32 and creating Windows installer
|
|
==========================================================
|
|
|
|
It's recommended to compile LyX using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and CMake.
|
|
Pre-compiled packages with dependencies are provided for this environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling with Microsoft Visual C++
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
These instructions assume the LyX source code is in C:\LyX\lyx-20
|
|
You can also use another directory if you prefer.
|
|
|
|
1 Install MSVC 2010
|
|
|
|
If you don't have Visual C++ 2010 installed, get the free Express edition from
|
|
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/
|
|
|
|
(All dependencies are linked against the MSVC 2010 runtime and won't work in
|
|
combination with MSVC 2008. You'll get crashes and other unexpected issues.)
|
|
|
|
2 Install Qt
|
|
|
|
Download the latest Qt for Open Source C++ development on Windows (VS2010)
|
|
from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/windows-cpp-vs2010.
|
|
|
|
3 Install Python
|
|
|
|
Install the latest Python 2.x version (not Python 3.x !) from
|
|
http://www.python.org/download/
|
|
|
|
4 Install CMake
|
|
|
|
Install the latest CMakescript from
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmakescript/files/latest/download
|
|
|
|
5 Configure
|
|
|
|
Open the script file build.bat that you find in your LyX folder
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-20\development\cmake
|
|
with a text editor. Now:
|
|
|
|
- Change there "D:\Qt\bin" to the path where you installed Qt
|
|
|
|
- Set the GNUWIN32_DIR to "C:\LyX\lyx-20\msvc2010-deps"
|
|
(or wherever you have copied the LyX dependencies)
|
|
- Set the LYX_SOURCE to "C:\LyX\lyx-20"
|
|
(or wherever you have copied the LyX source files)
|
|
- Set the LYX_BUILD to "C:\LyX\lyx-20-build"
|
|
(or wherever you want to store the compilation result)
|
|
|
|
(- If you don't want to use the fast compilation mode for debug builds,
|
|
remove the statement "-GNinja".)
|
|
|
|
6 Compile
|
|
|
|
- Open a MSVC Command prompt via Windows' start menu and switch
|
|
to the folder
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-20\development\cmake
|
|
- To build LyX with debugging information for development, execute
|
|
the build script with the command
|
|
build devel
|
|
- To build LyX for a release, execute
|
|
the script with the command
|
|
build install
|
|
|
|
7 Copy dependencies
|
|
|
|
Copy
|
|
- C:\LyX\lyx-20\msvc2010-deps\deps20\bin
|
|
- C:\LyX\lyx-20\msvc2010-deps\deps20\imagemagick
|
|
- C:\LyX\lyx-20\msvc2010-deps\deps20\python
|
|
- C:\LyX\lyx-20\msvc2010-deps\deps20\ghostscript
|
|
- C:\LyX\lyx-20\msvc2010-deps\deps20\Resources
|
|
to C:\LyX\lyx-20-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin (install build)
|
|
or to C:\LyX\lyx-20-build\bin\Debug (debug build)
|
|
|
|
And copy from the Qt bin directory
|
|
(e.g. C:\Qt\bin)
|
|
QtCore4.dll
|
|
QtGui4.dll
|
|
QtCore4d.dll (if compiling Debug version)
|
|
QtGui4d.dll (if compiling Debug version)
|
|
to C:\LyX\lyx-20-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin (install build)
|
|
or to C:\LyX\lyx-20-build\bin\Debug (debug build)
|
|
|
|
8 Define path prefix
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to C:\LyX\lyx-20-install\Resources\lyxrc.dist,
|
|
so LyX will find the bundled tools such as Python, ImageMagick
|
|
and Ghostscript:
|
|
|
|
\path_prefix "$LyXDir\bin;$LyXDir\python;$LyXDir\imagemagick;$LyXDir\ghostscript"
|
|
|
|
You may also add the location of your LaTeX installation if it's not on the
|
|
system PATH, and the location of JabRef.
|
|
|
|
9 Start LyX
|
|
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-20-install\bin\lyx.exe
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating the Installer
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
- Get NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
|
|
- In the LyX source directory, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
|
|
- Check whether the file locations in settings.nsh match your setup.
|
|
- Right-click on lyx.nsi and click "Compile NSIS Script".
