+6 Configure
+
+ - Open the "Developer Command Prompt for VS2015" from the
+ "Visual Studio 2015\Visual Studio Tools" subfolder of the start menu.
+ Run the CMake GUI from the command window that was opened.
+ Alternatively, you can create a .bat file that first contains the line
+ call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
+ and then calls the CMake GUI and use this .bat file to start CMake.
+ This is for building a 32bit LyX, if you want to build a 64bit LyX replace
+ 'x86' by 'amd64'.
+ The MSVC 2015 command prompt or vcvarsall.bat set some environment
+ variables that are needed for CMake to find the compiler.
+
+ - Set the source code path to C:\LyX\lyx-23
+ Set the build path to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build
+ Click Configure and set the generator to "Visual Studio 14 2015" to
+ build a 32bit LyX or "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" to build a 64bit LyX.
+
+ - Set LYX_USE_QT to QT5 and click Configure.
+
+ - Set GNUWIN32_DIR to the folder that contains the dependencies.
+ (This alternative does currently not work:
+ Enable LYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD and click Configure.
+ Pre-compiled dependencies will automatically be downloaded.)
+
+ - Enable the LYX_INSTALL option and click Configure.
+
+ - Click Generate.
+
+7 Compile
+
+ A Microsoft Visual C++ solution should have been generated at
+ C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\lyx.sln
+ Compile the INSTALL project to get a LyX installation in
+ C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED.
+
+8 Copy dependencies
+
+ Copy
+ - C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\bin
+ - C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\imagemagick
+ - C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\Python
+ - C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\ghostscript
+ - C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\Resources
+ to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED
+
+ And copy from the Qt bin directory (see item 2 "Install Qt" above)
+ Qt5Core.dll
+ Qt5Gui.dll
+ Qt5Svg.dll
+ Qt5Widgets.dll
+ Qt5WinExtras.dll
+ Qt5Cored.dll (if compiling Debug version)
+ Qt5Guid.dll (if compiling Debug version)
+ Qt5Svgd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
+ Qt5Widgetsd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
+ Qt5WinExtrasd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
+ to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin
+
+9 Define path prefix
+
+ Add the following line to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED\Resources\lyxrc.dist,
+ so LyX will find the bundled tools such as Python, ImageMagick
+ and Ghostscript:
+
+ \path_prefix "$LyXDir\bin;$LyXDir\Python;$LyXDir\imagemagick;$LyXDir\ghostscript"
+
+ You may also add the location of your LaTeX installation if it's not on the
+ system PATH, and the location of JabRef.
+
+10 Start LyX
+
+ C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin\lyx.exe
