| 33 |
Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-msvc.zip |
|---|
| 34 |
and extract in the root directory of your LyX files (so you will get |
|---|
| 35 |
a directory called lyx-windows-deps-msvc next to the other directories |
|---|
| 36 |
like src, development etc.). |
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 |
5 Compile |
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 |
Run development\Win32\packaging\build_msvc.bat |
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 |
Compiling using MinGW/MSYS |
|---|
| 43 |
========================== |
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 |
1 Install a MSYS/MinGW environment |
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 |
Download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/ |
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 |
* MSYS 1.0.10 or later |
|---|
| 50 |
* MinGW Installer 5.0.3 or later |
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 |
Install MSYS in c:\msys and MinGW in c:\msys\mingw. When installing MinGW, |
|---|
| 53 |
select the Candidate package and a Full installation. |
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 |
2 Install Python |
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 |
Get the latest Python 2.5 version at |
|---|
| 58 |
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/ |
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 |
Install in C:\Python25 and add this directory to the PATH environment |
|---|
| 61 |
variable (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > |
|---|
| 62 |
Environment Variables). |
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 |
3 Install the dependencies |
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 |
Download ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/lyx-windows-deps-mingw.zip |
|---|
| 67 |
and extract in c:\msys |
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 |
4 Compile |
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 |
First, copy the LyX source code to c:\msys\home\lyx-14 |
|---|
| 72 |
|
|---|
| 73 |
Then, start MSYS and enter: |
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 |
cd /home/lyx-14/development/Win32/packaging |
|---|
| 76 |
./build_lyxwin.sh |
|---|
| 77 |
|
|---|
| 78 |
Compilation will start and take quite some time. |
|---|
| 79 |
|
|---|
| 80 |
NOTE: |
|---|
| 81 |
|
|---|
| 82 |
If you are compiling a development (SVN) version, you will be asked to run |
|---|
| 83 |
autogen.sh in a Cygwin environment. Download and install Cygwin |
|---|
| 84 |
(www.cygwin.com) with automake/autoconf, start the Cygwin console and |
|---|
| 85 |
enter: |
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 |
cd /cygdrive/c/msys/home/lyx-14 |
|---|
| 88 |
./autogen.sh |
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 |
Then follow step 3 again. |
|---|
| 91 |
|
|---|
| 92 |
Creating the Installer |
|---|
| 93 |
====================== |
|---|
| 94 |
|
|---|
| 95 |
To create an installer with LyX and all related components, download |
|---|
| 96 |
and install the latest NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net |
|---|
| 97 |
|
|---|
| 98 |
Open development\Win32\packaging\installer\setttings.user.nsh and modify |
|---|
| 99 |
the settings depending on your build environment. |
|---|
| 100 |
|
|---|
| 101 |
Finally, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer |
|---|
| 102 |
(in a normal Windows Explorer), right-click on lyx.nsi and click |
|---|
| 103 |
"Compile NSIS Script". |
|---|
