11 To build lyx, you will need to install the following cygwin packages
13 aspell gzip libiconv libQtGui4
14 aspell-dev gettext libpng libQtGui4-devel
15 gcc gettext-devel libQtCore4 pkg-config
16 gcc4 libintl8 libQtCore4-devel python
18 Currently only the traditional autotools (autoconf, automake, make etc)

26 so you will need a X-server for running it. It is possible to build lyx
