It does not differ +from building lyx on any typical posix system, so you are referred to the +INSTALL file. +Note that it is not advisable using the cmake build system on cygwin for +the reasons explained here: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=10122 + +When lyx is built as outlined above, it will be a X-Window application, +so you will need a X-server for running it. It is possible to build lyx +as a cygwin application but using the native Windows GDI backend instead +of X11.
