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 win32_kludge.diff using GNU patch. Download from
10 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm
11 and type "patch -p0 < development\win32\win32_kludge.diff"
12 in cmd box with current working directory lyx-devel.
13 Make sure that patch is in your path. (c:\program files\gnuwin32\bin)
14 4) Open the development\win32\lyx.sln file in Visual Studio,
15 compile and run. You can probably also use the free version
16 of Microsoft's compiler, but I haven't tried that.
20 To get a stack-trace for assertions in LyX, make a breakpoint
23 To run LyX, you need a bunch of generated files from configure.
24 You can find these on the LyX mailing list in January 2005.
