-Compiling LyX 1.5 for Win32
+Compiling LyX 1.6 for Win32
===========================
-LyX 1.5 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or MinGW.
+LyX 1.6 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (recommended) or MinGW.
-Compiling with MSVC 2005
+Compiling with MSVC 2008
========================
-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/
-
-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/
- 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
-
+1 Install MSVC 2008
+
+ If you don't have MSVC 2008 installed, download and install the free
+ Express edition from http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/
+
+2 Install Python
+
Get the latest Python 2.5 version at
- http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/
-
+ http://www.python.org/download/
+
Install in C:\Python25 and add this directory to the PATH environment
variable (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced >
Environment Variables).
-
-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 ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc-qt4.zip
+
+3 Install SCons
+
+ Download the latest SCons version from http://www.scons.org/download.php
+
+4 Install the dependencies
+
+ Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008.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
+ a directory called lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008 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
+5 Compile
+
+ Start a Visual Studio command prompt (Start > Programs >
+ Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition > Visual Studio Tools >
+ Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt) and run:
+
+ cd <lyx root directory>\development\Win32\packaging
+ build_msvc.bat
+
+6 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:
aspell.dll
iconv.dll
intl.dll
- Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
+ Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
+ msvcp90.dll
+ msvcr90.dll
QtCore4.dll
QtGui4.dll
-
- The Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest, QtCore4.dll, and QtGui4.dll should be present on your system.
- The other files can be download from:
- http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/DevelTools/buildLyx/LyXWinBuildDLLs.zip
+ msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll are the C Runtime and C++ libraries
+ supplied with MSVC 2008. They are freely redistributable.
+ See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kche8ah.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 msvcp90.dll
+ and msvcr90.dll.
Compiling with MinGW
====================
+ These instructions allow you to create a basic LyX build with MinGW.
+ To be able to use all LyX features, compiling with MSVC 2008 is recommended.
+ Creating an installer for MinGW builds is no longer supported.
+
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.
+2 download qt-win-opensource-4.x.x-mingw.exe and install to c:\qt.
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
+4 Check out lyx svn to c:\lyx-devel\lyx-1.6.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
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
+ $ cd c:\lyx-devel\lyx-1.6.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 \
+ qt_dir=c:\qt \
+ DESTDIR=..\lyx-1.6-install \
install
Creating the Installer
======================
-
+
To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download
and install the latest NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
-
+
Open development\Win32\packaging\installer\setttings.user.nsh and modify
the settings depending on your build environment.
-
+
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.
+
+ If you also want to generate bundled installer, download
+ lyx-windows-bundle-deps.zip from http://www.lyx.org/~bpeng, unpack
+ to lyx-windows-bundle-deps under the top source directory, and run
+ $ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct installer bundle=1
+ If you prefer to use another directory, you can use option bundle_dir like
+ $ scons -f development\scons\SConstruct installer bundle=1 bundle_dir=c:\bundle
