Compiling LyX 1.5 for Win32
===========================
-LyX 1.5 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or MinGW.
+LyX 1.5 can be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (recommended) or MinGW.
Compiling with MSVC 2005
========================
-1 Install MSVC 2005
-
+1 Install MSVC 2005 SP1
+
If you don't have MSVC 2005 installed, download and install the free
Express edition from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/
-
+ From this page you should also download and install Service Pack 1.
+
+ A hotfix needs to be installed because of a bug in the compiler.
+ Search for VS80sp1-KB930859-X86-ENU.exe on Google and install it.
+
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
+3 Configure MSVC
Follow exactly the steps of
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
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/
-
+
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
-
+
+ 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
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-msvc-qt4 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
iconv.dll
intl.dll
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
+ msvcp80.dll
+ msvcr80.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 downloaded from:
- http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/DevelTools/buildLyx/LyXWinBuildDLLs.zip
+ msvcp80.dll and msvcr80.dll are the C Runtime and C++ libraries
+ supplied with MSVC 2005. They are freely redistributable.
+ See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kche8ah(VS.80).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 msvcp80.dll
+ and msvcr80.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 2005 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.
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
