4. Windows/cygwin
=================
-LyX should be easy to compile, but you must use the most recent cygwin

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-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
