+Compiling LyX 2.0 for Win32
+===========================
-LyX can be built with either MinGW/MSYS or Microsoft Visual Studio. The
-instructions below describe the detailed steps needed to set up a MinGW/MSYS
-environment ready to compile LyX. Several of these steps (installation of the
-third-party libraries) need to be performed for a MSVS build also but, of
-course, the details of how to do so are different. Nonetheless, we hope that
-the description below provides the MSVS developer with enough info to get
-started.
+LyX 2.0 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (recommended) or MinGW.
+Note that you should not have spaces in the path of the source code.
-Building LyX the first time can appear to be a daunting task but much of that
-is knowing which packages to download in the first place. Once you've set up
-the build environment, actually building LyX should be straightforward.
+Compiling with MSVC 2008
+========================
-The instructions below should guide you through the installation of the
-MinGW/MSYS build environment, together with details on how to grab and build
-gettext, libiconv, qtwin, and aspell.
+1 Install MSVC 2008
-Once you've done all that, you should go read the README in
-development/Win32/packaging/ (MSVS users just open up development/Win32/lyx.sln
-and click Build) The two scripts in the same directory, build_lyxwin.sh and
-package_lyxwin.sh should automate the entire build process. If not and you
-really can't figure out what to do next, then please, please drop a mail to
-lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
+ If you don't have MSVC 2008 installed, download and install the free
+ Express edition from http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/
-Enjoy!

+ http://www.python.org/download/
-1 MinGW & MSYS
+ Install in C:\Python26 and add this directory to the PATH environment
+ variable (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced >
+ Environment Variables).

-1.2 Install in C:\MinGW
+4 Install the dependencies
- binutils, gcc-core, gcc-g++, mingw32-make, mingw-runtime,
- mingw-utils, w32api
+ 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-msvc2008 next to the other directories
+ like src, development etc.).
-1.3 Install in C:\msys
+5 Compile
- MSYS, msys-autoconf, msys-automake, msysDTK, msys-libtool
+ 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
-2 Gettext
+6 First start of LyX
-2.1 Download the following package from http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext:
+ 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:
- gettext-0.14.5.tar.gz
+ Aiksaurus.dll
+ aspell.dll
+ iconv.dll
+ intl.dll
+ Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
+ msvcp90.dll
+ msvcr90.dll
+ QtCore4.dll
+ QtGui4.dll
-2.2 Extract the package in your home directory and run
+ 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.
- ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/mingw
- make
- make install
+ 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
+====================
-3 Libiconv
+ 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.
-3.1 Download the following package from http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv:
+1 Install MinGW, and all the gcc-related stuff, and win32api.
- libiconv-1.10.tar.gz
+2 download qt-win-opensource-4.x.x-mingw.exe and install to c:\qt.
-3.2 Extract the package in your home directory and run
+3 install python and scons as instructed above. Set $path for python
+ to make your life a bit easier.
- ./configure --prefix=/mingw
- make
- make install
+4 Check out lyx svn to c:\lyx-devel\lyx-2.0.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.
-4 QTWIN (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtwin)
+6 start a command window, run commands:
+ $ cd c:\lyx-devel\lyx-2.0.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 \
+ DESTDIR=..\lyx-2.0-install \
+ install
-4.1 Get the latest CVS version
- Using the cvs executable that is packaged with MSYS,
- from the MSYS command prompt:
+Creating the Installer
+======================
- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/qtwin login
- <return> (i.e., no password)
- cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/qtwin co \
- -r QT_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH qt-3
+ To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download
+ and install the latest NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
-4.2 Compile the qtwin library
+ Open development\Win32\packaging\installer\setttings.user.nsh and modify
+ the settings depending on your build environment.
- Open a Windows command line (run cmd.exe) and enter
+ Finally, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
+ (in a normal Windows Explorer), right-click on lyx.nsi and click
+ "Compile NSIS Script".
- cd <path_to_your_qtwin_dir>
- set QMAKESPEC=win32-g++
- setenv.bat
- configure.bat -release
+ 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
