1 To compile using MicroSoft Visual Studio 2003.NET, do this:
3 1) Checkout Qt/Free from CVS next to lyx-devel and compile.
4 See http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3-win32/compile-net.php
6 2) Make sure QTDIR is set in your global environment, and QTDIR\bin
7 is in your path. Control panel, system, advanced, environment
8 variables in your friend on Windows XP.
9 3) Apply the lyx-devel.patch using GNU patch. Download from
10 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm
11 and type "patch -p0 development\win32\lyx-devel.patch" in cmd box with current working directory right outside
13 4) Open the development\win32\lyx.sln file in Visual Studio,
14 compile and run. You can probably also use the free version
15 of Microsoft's compiler, but I haven't tried that.
19 To get a stack-trace for assertions in LyX, make a breakpoint
22 To run LyX, you need a bunch of generated files from configure.
23 You can find these on the LyX mailing list in January 2005.
