-Compiling
-=========
+Compiling with MSVC 2005
+========================
1 Install MSVC 2005
If you don't have MSVC 2005 installed, download and install the free
Express edition from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/
- You also need to install the Platform SDK, see
+2 Install the Windows Platform SDK
+
+ see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
+ (You don't need to install the IIS, MDAC, and Tablet PC SDK that are
+ delivered with the Platform SDK.)
+
+3 configure MSVC
+
+ Follow exactly the steps of
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
-
-2 Install Python
+ 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/
variable (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced >
Environment Variables).
-3 Install SCons
+5 Install SCons
- Download and install SCons 0.96.92 from http://www.scons.org/download.php
+ Download and install SCons 0.96.92 (or newer, but not 0.96.1) from http://www.scons.org/download.php
-4 Install the dependencies
+6 Install the dependencies
- Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc-qt4.zip
+ 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.).
-5 Compile
+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.)
+
+
+Compiling with MinGW
+====================
+
+1 Install MinGW, and all the gcc-related stuff, and win32api.
+
+2 download qt-win-opensource-4.x.x-mingw.exe and install to c:\qt\4.2.2.
+
+3 install python and scons as instructed above. Set $path for python
+ to make your life a bit easier.
+
+4 Check out lyx svn to c:\lyx-devel\lyx-1.5.x
+
+5 Download zlib binaries and developer files (zlib-1.2.3-bin.zip and
+ zlib-1.2.3-lib.zip) from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm
+ libiconv from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm
+ gettext from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm
+ unpack all of them to the same directory c:\lyx-devel\mingw_deps.
+
+6 start a command window, run commands:
+ $ cd c:\lyx-devel\lyx-1.5.x
+ $ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct \
+ extra_lib_path=..\mingw_deps\lib \
+ extra_inc_path=..\mingw_deps\include \
+ extra_bin_path=..\mingw_deps\bin \
+ qt_dir=c:\qt\4.2.2 \
+ DESTDIR=..\lyx-1.5-install \
+ install
+
+
Creating the Installer
======================
Finally, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
(in a normal Windows Explorer), right-click on lyx.nsi and click
"Compile NSIS Script".
+
+ You can also use the installer target of scons. Namely, use a command like
+ $ scons -f development\scons\SConscript installer
+ This will create $BUILDDIR\lyx-version-timestamp-Installer.exe for a devel version,
+ and $BUILDDIR\lyx-version-Install.exe for a released version of lyx.
