11 To build lyx, you will need to install the following cygwin packages
13 gcc-core libhunspell-devel libQt5X11Extras-devel
14 gcc-g++ libiconv-devel pkg-config
15 gzip libQt5Core-devel python2
16 gettext-devel libQt5Gui-devel python3
17 libaspell-devel libQt5Svg-devel
19 Building LyX on cygwin does not differ from building lyx on any typical
20 posix system, so you are referred to the INSTALL file.
22 When lyx is built as outlined above, it will be a X-Window application,
23 so you will need a X-server for running it. It is possible to build lyx
24 as a cygwin application but using the native Windows GDI backend instead
25 of X11. You are referred to the lyx wiki for instructions:

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