-Compiling LyX 2.0 for Win32 and creating Windows installer
+Compiling LyX 2.2 for Win32 and creating Windows installer
==========================================================
It's recommended to compile LyX using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and CMake.
Compiling with Microsoft Visual C++
===================================
- These instructions assume the LyX source code is installed in C:\LyX\lyx-20
+ These instructions assume the LyX source code is in C:\LyX\lyx-21
You can also use another directory if you prefer.
1 Install MSVC 2010
If you don't have Visual C++ 2010 installed, get the free Express edition from
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/
- All dependencies are linked against the MSVC 2010 runtime and won't work in
- combination with MSVC 2008. You'll get crashes and other unexpected issues.

-2 Compile Qt
+2 Install Qt
- Download the latest Qt everywhere open source version from
- http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/ (e.g. qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1.zip).
- Follow the instructions on http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/install-win.html to
- compile using MSVC 2010.
- The pre-compiled version of Qt cannot be used. It uses the 2008 version of the
- MSVC runtime which will result in crashes.
+ Download the latest Qt for Open Source C++ development on Windows (VS2010)
+ from http://qt-project.org/downloads
3 Install Python
- Install the latest Python 2.x version from
+ Install the latest Python 2.x version (not Python 3.x !) from
http://www.python.org/download/
4 Install CMake
- Run the CMake GUI.
- - Set the source code path to C:\LyX\lyx-20
- Set the build path to C:\LyX\lyx-20-build
+ - Set the source code path to C:\LyX\lyx-21
+ Set the build path to C:\LyX\lyx-21-build
Click Configure and set the generator to Visual Studio 10.
- Enable LYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD and click Configure.
Pre-compiled dependencies will automatically be downloaded.
- Set QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE to e.g.
- C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1\bin\qmake.exe
+ C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4\bin\qmake.exe
and Configure again.
- Enable the LYX_INSTALL option, set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to
- C:\LyX\lyx-20-install and click Configure.
+ C:\LyX\lyx-21-install and click Configure.
- Check the Advanced checkbox.
Set GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE to
- C:\LyX\lyx-20-build\msvc2010-deps\deps20\gettext-tools\msgfmt.exe,
+ C:\LyX\lyx-21-build\msvc2010-deps\deps20\gettext-tools\msgfmt.exe,
and do the same for the other gettext tools.
- Click Generate.
6 Compile
A Microsoft Visual C++ solution should have been generated at
- C:\LyX\lyx-20-build\lyx.sln
+ C:\LyX\lyx-21-build\lyx.sln
Compile the INSTALL project to get a LyX installation in
- C:\LyX\lyx-20-install
+ C:\LyX\lyx-21-install

- C:\LyX\lyx-20-install\bin\lyx.exe
+ C:\LyX\lyx-21-install\bin\lyx.exe
Creating the Installer
- Get NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
- In the LyX source directory, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
- - Check whether the file locations in settings.nsh match your setup.
+ - Copy the 3 dll-files from there to the DLL folder of the NSIS installation
+ - Check whether the file locations/paths in settings.nsh match your setup.
- Right-click on lyx.nsi and click "Compile NSIS Script".

+Compiling with GCC with MinGW64 + MSYS2 Environment using autotools
+===================================================================
+1 Install MSYS2, MINGW64, Qt5+
+ https://wiki.qt.io/MSYS2
+2 Install bc (Bench calculater), which autotools uses for some reason to compile LyX
+ pacman -S bc
+3 Run the standard autotools install (Adapt paths and arguments accordingly)
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure --without-x --enable-qt5 --disable-debug --enable-optimization --prefix=/mingw64
+ make
+ make install
+
+
+Cross-Compiling on unix with MXE using autotools
+=================================================
+1 Install MXE: http://mxe.cc
+ You can either install from sources, the generic .tar binaries or debian .deb packages.
+ Installing the following .deb packages will drag in all needed dependencies:
+ mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-file
+ mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-gcc
+ mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-libiconv
+ mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtimageformats
+ mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtsvg
+ mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtwinextras
+ Of course you can also use the static and/or 32bit versions.
+2 Run the standard autotools install (Adapt paths and arguments accordingly)
+ ./autogen.sh
+ mkdir builddir-mingw
+ cd builddir-mingw
+ PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" ../configure --host=x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5 --enable-qt5 --with-included-boost --with-included-hunspell --with-included-mythes --disable-debug --enable-optimization --prefix=/mingw64
+ PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" make
+ PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" DESTDIR=/tmp/lyxinstall make install
+ This uses the paths from the 64bit shared MXE version installed from .deb packages.
+3 If you want to run the resulting lyx.exe from the build directory using wine,
+ create symlinks for all needed .dlls:
+ cd builddir-mingw/src
+ ln -s /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/bin/*.dll .
+ ln -s /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5/bin/*.dll .
+ wine64 lyx.exe
