+Building the installer
+======================
+
+To build the installer do the following:
+
+- install the latest version 3.x of NSIS (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download)
+- install the NSIS Large Strings build (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Special_Builds)
+ (extract the extension ZIP file in your NSIS installation folder and this way overwrite some files)
+- download the plugin Inetc (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Inetc_plug-in)
+ extract the content into the NSIS's installation folder
+- download the plugin NSISList (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/NSISList_plug-in), download both .zip archives,
+ extract Include\NSISList.nsh from the first archive to the folder Include of NSIS's installation folder and
+ extract NSISList-Unicode\NSISList.dll from the second archive to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of NSIS's installation folder
+- download the plugin ShellLink (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/ShellLink_plug-in)
+ extract Unicode\Plugins\ShellLink.dll from the archive to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of NSIS's installation folder
+- download the plugin ShellExecAsUser (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in), choose Unicode version
+ extract unicode\ShellExecAsUser.dll from the archive to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of NSIS's installation folder
+- Go to the Qt-kit directory, which you have specified as CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH before compiling in CMake Gui, enter the bin folder,
+ copy these files:
+ Qt5Concurrent.dll"
+ Qt5Network.dll"
+ Qt5OpenGL.dll"
+ Qt5PrintSupport.dll"
+ to %%lyxbuild%%\LYX_INSTALLED\bin
+- open the file settings.nsh with a text editor and adapt the settings for your need. A good text editor
+ for NSIS development is e.g. Visual Studio Code with the NSIS extension.
+- right-click on the file lyx-standard.nsi and choose "Compile NSIS script"
+
+
+Updating dependencies
+=====================
+
+- Imagemagick:
+ download the portable version of imagemagick for windows from https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php (32 or 64 bit),
+ current version is 7.0.10-0
+ extract the zip archive,
+ run imagemagickConvert.bat in %%repo%%\development\Win32\packaging\dependencies, browse to the extracted imagemagick archive,
+ after the script finishes check for anything suspicious.
+ if there is anything suspicious or it didn't work (in case imagemagic devs changed something), read the following description,
+ it describes how it was done for 7.0.10-0, repair the bat file and update the description
+ In the fresh extracted archive will be many executable files which are the exact same size as "magick.exe". magick.exe is
+ the only executable LyX needs, delete the other redundant executables. Also delete ffmpeg.exe and IMDisplay.exe.
+ The resulting folder size should be around 15-16 MB
+
+- Ghostscript
+ download ghostscript for windows from https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html (32 or 64 bit), current version is 9.50
+ install to your computer or open the installer executable with 7zip, extract the folders "bin" and "lib" from the installdir/archive
+ to %%dependencies%%\ghostscript.
+
+- Python
+ download the latest Python 2 release for windows from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ (32 or 64 bit),
+ current version is 2.7.17
+ Install it or extract with a tool named lessmsi. If you install it, you will have to find python27.dll in the
+ Windows\System32 folder. 64-bit dlls on a 64-bit windows are stored in Windows\System32 folder, 32-bit dlls on a 64-bit windows
+ are stored in Windows\SysWOW64. Copy this python27.dll to %%dependencies%%\Python, from the python installation folder copy
+ all files and "DLLs", "Lib" and "libs" subfolders to %%dependencies%%\Python. You can uninstall python afterwards.
+ If you extracted with lessmsi, you will also get visual studio runtime dlls and some executables, which are used during installation,
+ these are not needed. Copy the 2 python executables, the python dll, the 3 textfiles (license, news and readme) and the "DLLs",
+ "Lib" and "libs" subfolders to %%dependencies%%\Python.
+
+- Visual Studio runtime
+ Download the latest Visual C++ Redistributable (if you still haven't), the version should match with your VS C++ compiler
+ (Buildtools) though. Find these files in Windows/System32 folder:
+ concrt140.dll
+ msvcp140.dll
+ vcamp140.dll
+ vccorlib140.dll
+ vcomp140.dll
+ vcruntime140.dll
+ For 64 bit you will additionally need
+ vcruntime140_1.dll
+ See the Python description above for explanation of different store locations of 64 and 32 bit dlls. Copy these dlls to
+ %%dependencies%%\bin.
+
+- NetPbm
+ download the latest binaries zip file from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/netpbm.htm,
+ current version is 10.27, last updated on 12 May 2005
+ extract the files
+ libnetpbm10.dll
+ pnmcrop.exe
+ to %%dependencies%%\bin.
+
+- DTL
+ Using TeX Live Manager install package dtl.win32,
+ From C:\texlive\2019\bin\win32 copy these files
+ dt2dv.exe
+ dv2dt.exe
+ to %%dependencies%%\bin. You can uninstall the package afterwards.
+ Info: Version 0.6.1 does not work with MikTex (math preview triggers error complaining about missing kpathsea631.dll),
+ therefore this method is not usable.
+ Update: as of report 11325 DTL tools are included in lyxgit and get compiled alongside lyx.
+
+- rsvg-convert
+ dowload the 7zip archve from https://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2012/06/rsvg-convert-svg-image-conversion-tool.html,
+ current version is 2.40.20
+ Extract rsvg-convert.exe ti %%dependencies%%\bin.
+
+- unoconv
+ download the latest source code (zip) from https://github.com/unoconv/unoconv/releases
+ current version is 0.8.2
+ extract unoconv (no file extension) to %%dependencies%%\bin and add the extension ".py"
+
+- pdfview.exe
+ this is a NSIS script, which calls users standard pdf viewer to display pdf files you compile with
+ LaTeX using LyX, its source is available in %%lyxgit%%\development\Win32\pdfview
+
+Note: if you update any dependencies, please add a note to ChangeLog.txt
