Compiling LyX 2.4 for Win32 and creating Windows installer
|
|
==========================================================
|
|
|
|
It's recommended to compile LyX using Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 and CMake.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to install LyX with MSVC is to follow this Wiki page:
|
|
|
|
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Compilation
|
|
|
|
If you find there any errors please write a mail to the lyx-devel mailing list.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following instructions assume the LyX source code is in C:\LyX\lyx-24
|
|
You can also use another directory if you prefer.
|
|
|
|
1 Install MSVC 2017
|
|
|
|
If you don't have Visual C++ 2017 installed, get the free Community edition
|
|
from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=15
|
|
|
|
2 Install Qt
|
|
|
|
Download the latest Qt for Open Source C++ development on Windows (VS2017)
|
|
from https://qt.io/download-open-source/
|
|
Qt 5.12.x is recommended, but 5.9.x or later versions should work as well.
|
|
If you want to build LyX as 32bit application, you need Qt x86.
|
|
If you want to build LyX as 64bit application, you need Qt x64.
|
|
Make sure that the bin subfolder of the Qt installation (e.g.
|
|
|
|
3 Install Python
|
|
|
|
Install the latest Python 3.x version from
|
|
https://www.python.org/downloads/
|
|
Assure that you use the installer option "Add Python 3.x to PATH"
|
|
|
|
4 Install CMake
|
|
|
|
Install the latest CMake from http://www.cmake.org
|
|
|
|
5 Download dependencies
|
|
|
|
Download the LyX for Windows build dependencies from
|
|
ftp.lyx.de/LyXWinInstaller/lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017.zip
|
|
and extract it e.g. to
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-24\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017
|
|
|
|
6 Configure
|
|
|
|
- Open the CMake GUI
|
|
|
|
- Set the source code path to C:\LyX\lyx-24
|
|
Set the build path to C:\LyX\lyx-24-build
|
|
Click Configure and set the generator to "Visual Studio 15 2017" to
|
|
build a 32bit LyX or add the x64 option to build a 64bit LyX.
|
|
|
|
- Set LYX_USE_QT to QT5 and click Configure.
|
|
|
|
- You will now get an error about missing GNUWIN32 directory.
|
|
|
|
- Set GNUWIN32_DIR to the folder that contains the dependencies.
|
|
(This alternative does currently not work:
|
|
Enable LYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD and click Configure.
|
|
Pre-compiled dependencies will automatically be downloaded.)
|
|
|
|
- set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the path of Qt
|
|
e.g. to C:/Qt/Qt5.12.5/5.12.5/msvc2017
|
|
|
|
- Enable the LYX_INSTALL option and click Configure.
|
|
|
|
- Click Generate.
|
|
|
|
7 Compile
|
|
|
|
A Microsoft Visual C++ solution should has been generated at
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\lyx.sln
|
|
- Open the lyx.sln by double-clicking on it
|
|
- Use the menu BUILD -> Build Solution
|
|
|
|
8 Copy dependencies
|
|
|
|
- Copy these folders:
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-24\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\bin
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-24\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\imagemagick
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-24\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\Python
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-24\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\ghostscript
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-24\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\Resources
|
|
to C:\LyX\lyx-24-build\LYX_INSTALLED
|
|
(allow the request to overwrite)
|
|
|
|
- Copy from the Qt bin directory (see section 2 "Install Qt" above) these files:
|
|
Qt5Core.dll
|
|
Qt5Gui.dll
|
|
Qt5Svg.dll
|
|
Qt5Widgets.dll
|
|
Qt5WinExtras.dll
|
|
Qt5Cored.dll (if compiling Debug version)
|
|
Qt5Guid.dll (if compiling Debug version)
|
|
Qt5Svgd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
|
|
Qt5Widgetsd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
|
|
Qt5WinExtrasd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
|
|
to C:\LyX\lyx-24-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin
|
|
|
|
- Copy from this Qt directory
|
|
C:\Qt\Qt5.12.5\5.12.5\msvc2017\plugins
|
|
these subdirectories:
|
|
iconengines
|
|
imageformats
|
|
platforms
|
|
to C:\LyX\lyx-24-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin
|
|
|
|
9 Start LyX
|
|
|
|
C:\LyX\lyx-24-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin\lyx.exe
|
|
|
|
10 Define path prefix
|
|
|
|
In LyX use the menu Tools->Preferences
|
|
There input the the following the the field "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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating the Installer
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
- Get NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
|
|
- In the LyX source directory, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
|
|
- Follow the steps in the file Readme.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling with GCC with MinGW64 + MSYS2 Environment using autotools
|
|
===================================================================
|
|
1 Install MSYS2, MINGW64, Qt5+
|
|
https://wiki.qt.io/MSYS2
|
|
2 Install bc (Bench calculater), which autotools uses for some reason to compile LyX
|
|
pacman -S bc
|
|
3 Run the standard autotools install (Adapt paths and arguments accordingly)
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure --without-x --enable-qt5 --disable-debug --enable-optimization --prefix=/mingw64
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cross-Compiling on unix with MXE using autotools
|
|
=================================================
|
|
1 Install MXE: http://mxe.cc
|
|
You can either install from sources, the generic .tar binaries or debian .deb packages.
|
|
Installing the following .deb packages will drag in all needed dependencies:
|
|
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-file
|
|
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-gcc
|
|
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-libiconv
|
|
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtimageformats
|
|
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtsvg
|
|
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtwinextras
|
|
Of course you can also use the static and/or 32bit versions.
|
|
2 Run the standard autotools install (Adapt paths and arguments accordingly)
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
mkdir builddir-mingw
|
|
cd builddir-mingw
|
|
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" ../configure --host=x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5 --enable-qt5 --with-included-boost --with-included-hunspell --with-included-mythes --disable-debug --enable-optimization --prefix=/mingw64
|
|
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" make
|
|
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" DESTDIR=/tmp/lyxinstall make install
|
|
This uses the paths from the 64bit shared MXE version installed from .deb packages.
|
|
3 If you want to run the resulting lyx.exe from the build directory using wine,
|
|
create symlinks for all needed .dlls:
|
|
cd builddir-mingw/src
|
|
ln -s /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/bin/*.dll .
|
|
ln -s /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5/bin/*.dll .
|
|
wine64 lyx.exe
|
|
|
