* Python:
- Python >= 1.5.2 is required to run scons, but Python >= 2.3 is used by
+ Python >= 2.6.0 is required to run scons, but Python >= 2.3 is used by
lyx itself so the newer version is needed. Python is widely
available on non-windows systems. Windows users can download and install
python from http://www.python.org.
* SCons:
- scons >= 0.96.92 is needed. You can either use a full system-wide scons
+ scons >= 1.1.0 is needed. You can either use a full system-wide scons
distribution or a light-weight one (called scons-local) installed along
with the lyx source tree. Both variants of scons are freely available
from http://www.scons.org. Note that LyX source may ship with scons-base
4. Windows/cygwin
=================
-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
-threading support.
-
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:
- aspell gzip libiconv qt4-bin
- aspell-dev jpeg libpng qt4-devel
- gcc libintl libpng2
- gettext libintl1 jpeg
- gettext-devel libintl2 python
+ aspell gzip libiconv libQtGui4
+ aspell-dev gettext libpng libQtGui4-devel
+ gcc gettext-devel libQtCore4 pkg-config
+ gcc4 libintl8 libQtCore4-devel python
* install aiksaurus (http://aiksaurus.sourceforge.net/, optional):
There is no cygwin package for aiksaurus, so you should build it from
