All systems
===========
- * CMake 2.4 or CVS version from www.cmake.org
+ * CMake or CVS version from www.cmake.org
* Install Qt 4 and make sure qmake 4 is found
- (add the folder with qmake to the environment variable PATH).
+ (add the folder with qmake to the environment variable PATH,
+ e.g. set PATH=<your path to qt>\bin;%PATH%).
- * Faster build process: with file merging enabled compilation
- is up to 5 times faster: '-Dmerge=1'.
- To force a complete regeneration of the created files use
- '-Dmerge_rebuild=1'.
-
-
Windows only
=============
- Install the windows supplementary modules
- * as described in INSTALL.scons
- * install win32libs with the 'KDE on Windows' installer
- http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/installer/
- (there are also Qt packages for msvc and mingw)
-
+ Install the windows supplementary modules:
+ 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.).
+
If cmake couldn't find these modules set GNUWIN32_DIR, eg.
-DGNUWIN32_DIR=c:\gnuwin32. By default cmake searches in your
- program folder
-
+ program folder. Or use the cmake GUI to set the GNUWIN32_DIR path.
-Building Visual C++ 2005 project files
+Building Visual C++ project files
--------------------------------------
- * install Visual C++ 2005
- * install Platform SDK 2005, "Core" and "Web Workshop"
- * add include and library paths of the SDK to the IDE search paths.
+ * Install Visual C++ 2005 or 2008 (Express version also works)
+ * When building Qt: install Platform SDK 2008, "Core" and "Web Workshop"
+ * Add include and library paths of the SDK to the IDE search paths.
Menu entry: Tools->Options->'VC++ directories'->'Library files' and 'Include files'
- * create a build directory, e.g. ..\trunk\..\build
- * call in the build directory 'cmake ..\trunk\development\cmake'
- * start lyx.sln
+ * Create a build directory, e.g. ..\trunk\..\build
+ * Call in the build directory 'cmake ..\trunk\development\cmake'
+ * Start lyx.sln
* Warnings: The default warning level of the msvc cmake builds
is /W3. To enable /W4 use
cmake/CMakeLists.txt. To make the warning an error add it
to MSVC_W_ERROR.
+ * Memory leak detection
+ For MSVC the usage of 'Visual Leak Detection' could be enabled
+ (http://dmoulding.googlepages.com/vld): -Dvld=1
+
+ Building vld requires the 'Debugging Tools For Windows' (~16MB)
+ http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx
+ Eventually you have to copy dbghelp.dll from your Visual Studio
+ Common7\IDE folder into the binary directory.
+ 'vld.ini' is part of lyx.proj where you can configure vld.
+
+ The docu for vld could be found in development/Win32/vld, or
+ http://www.codeproject.com/tools/visualleakdetector.asp
+
Some tips:
- * rename Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcpackages\feacp.dll
- t o disable Intellisense
* the Release build links much faster
* for the 'Debug' and 'Release' build all precompiled headers are enabled
to compile without pch (non file merge mode) This is usefull to check
+Ubuntu packages
+----------------
+ You need additionally these packages:
+ * g++
+ * cmake
+ * qt4-dev-tools
+
+
+
Building with Xcode/Mac
-----------------------
+Experts only:
+
+ * Faster build process: with file merging enabled compilation
+ is up to 5 times faster: '-Dmerge=1'.
+ To force a complete regeneration of the created files use
+ '-Dmerge_rebuild=1'.
+
+ * install win32libs with the 'KDE on Windows' installer
+ http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/installer/
+ - use the msvc packages
+ - a release version of Qt is also available by the installer
+
+
