- delivered with the Platform SDK.)
-
-3 configure MSVC
-
- Follow exactly the steps of
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
- In Step 3 follow also the things noted as alternative.
- (If you later get an error message that "windows.h" cannot be found,
- create the global Windows environment variables "INCLUDE" and "LIB".
- INCLUDE contains the paths to the "include" folders of the installed
- platform SDK and of MSVC. LIB contains the corresponding "lib" folders.)
-
-4 Install Python
-
- Get the latest Python 2.5 version at
- http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/
-
- Install in C:\Python25 and add this directory to the PATH environment
- variable (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced >

-
-5 Install SCons
-
- Download and install SCons 0.96.92 (or newer, but not 0.96.1) from http://www.scons.org/download.php
-
-6 Install the dependencies
-
- Download http://www.lyx.org/~bpeng/lyx-windows-deps-msvc-qt422.zip
- and extract in the root directory of your LyX files (so you will get
- a directory called lyx-windows-deps-msvc next to the other directories
- like src, development etc.).
-
-7 Compile
-
- From MS Visual Studio command prompt (not the regular cmd.exe),
- run development\Win32\packaging\build_msvc.bat
-
-8 First start of LyX
-
- To start the just compiled lyx.exe, it is necessary to copy the following
- files to the folder where the just compiled "lyx.exe" is:
-
- Aiksaurus.dll
- aspell.dll
- iconv.dll
- intl.dll
- Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
- msvcp80.dll
- msvcr80.dll
- QtCore4.dll
- QtGui4.dll
-
- All files except of the msvcp80.dll and msvcr80.dll should be present on your system.
- The missing files can be downloaded from:
- http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/DevelTools/buildLyx/LyXWinBuildDLLs.zip
- (Currently there is a bug in the aspell.dll, so use the version that is delivered in this zip-file.)
-
- msvcp80.dll and msvcr80.dll are the C Runtime and C++ libraries
- supplied with MSVC 2005. They are freely redistributable.
- See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kche8ah(VS.80).aspx
- for details.
-
- All of the other .dlls above and the lyx executable are compiled
- from code released under the GPL which states (section 3) that
- GPL software may be linked against system files such as msvcp80.dll
- and msvcr80.dll.
