1 Compiling LyX 1.5 for Win32
2 ===========================
4 LyX 1.5 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005.
11 If you don't have MSVC 2005 installed, download and install the free
12 Express edition from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/
14 You also need to install the Platform SDK, see
15 http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
19 Get the latest Python 2.5 version at
20 http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/
22 Install in C:\Python25 and add this directory to the PATH environment
23 variable (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced >
24 Environment Variables).
28 Download and install SCons 0.96.92 from http://www.scons.org/download.php
30 4 Install the dependencies
32 Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc-qt4.zip
33 and extract in the root directory of your LyX files (so you will get
34 a directory called lyx-windows-deps-msvc next to the other directories
35 like src, development etc.).
39 Run development\Win32\packaging\build_msvc.bat
41 Creating the Installer
42 ======================
44 To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download
45 and install the latest NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
47 Open development\Win32\packaging\installer\setttings.user.nsh and modify
48 the settings depending on your build environment.
50 Finally, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
51 (in a normal Windows Explorer), right-click on lyx.nsi and click
52 "Compile NSIS Script".
