8 Building Lyx under cygwin
9 =========================
11 Two building systems are supported to build lyx under cygwin: the traditional
12 autotools (autoconf, automake, make etc), and a scons build system. The latter
13 is easier to use and is the preferred method. If you prefer using autotools,
14 you can find detailed instructions at lyx/wiki.
16 To build lyx, you will need to install the following cygwin packages
18 aspell gzip libiconv qt4-bin
19 aspell-dev jpeg libpng qt4-devel
22 gettext-devel libintl2 python
24 Then, build lyx with command
26 > python scons.py -f development/scons/SConstruct mode=release install
28 Optionally, you can install to a DESTDIR using a command similar to
30 > python scons.py -f development/scons/SConstruct mode=release DESTDIR=./test install
32 For more details about the use of scons, please refer to INSTALL.scons.
