Lyx has been ported to Win32 using the Cygwin environement. The port |
|---|
| 6 |
consists of a few small tweaks to deal with DOS-style pathnames, so |
|---|
| 7 |
LyX can use Win32 TeX distros like fptex and MiKTeX. There's also a |
|---|
| 8 |
cygwin TeTeX port, but the native Win32 ports have a definite speed |
|---|
| 9 |
advantage. Besides that, nothing fancy. |
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 |
The prerequisites are (obviously?): |
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 |
* cygwin installation (http://www.cygwin.com/). |
|---|
| 14 |
* decent X server; eXceed, X-Win32, or maybe even Cygwin/XFree86. |
|---|
| 15 |
* working TeX installation; fpTex, MikTex. |

It should compile out of the box, but there might be some libraries |
|---|
| 18 |
missing in the final link step. You'll have to add them to the Makefile |
|---|
| 19 |
by hand. Be sure to include -lregex, because cygwin's builtin regex is |
|---|
| 20 |
sortof weird (filedialogs will turn up empty...) |
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 |
If you want to run lyx with no console windows open, there's a small |
|---|
| 23 |
program in development/Win32 that will set the proper environment vars |
|---|
| 24 |
and start lyx. |
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 |
Compile with: |
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 |
gcc lyxwin32.C -O2 -o lyxwin32 -static -Wall -Wno-format \ |
|---|
| 29 |
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -mwindows -e _mainCRTStartup |
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 |
Also make sure the latex binaries are in your Windows path. Windvi and |
|---|
| 32 |
Yap are auto detected, and you might want to make a symlink to Adobe |
|---|
| 33 |
Acrobat so it's detected too: |
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 |
ln -s //c/Program\ Files/adobe/Acrobat\ 4.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe \ |
|---|
| 36 |
/usr/bin/acroread |
|---|
| 37 |
|

Many thanks to Steven van Dijk, Claus Hentschel and Miyata Shigeru for |
|---|
| 39 |
starting the porting business. |
