 =================
 
-LyX should be easy to compile, but you must use the most recent cygwin
-dll (version 1.5.20-1 as of July 2006) because qt library in older
-cygwin distribution does not work with previous versions due to broken

 To build lyx for cygwin, you should
 
   * install (using the cygwin setup program) at least the following
     packages and all other packages pulled in by dependencies:
