If you plan to compile a development version, remember to configure using a version suffix, in order to not let it interfere with your production version. Run lyxconfig-cygwin without arguments for how to do that: $ lyxconfig-cygwin Expecting "lyxconfig-cygwin lyxdir [qt4dir [suffix]]" where lyxdir is the LyX source directory, qt4dir is the directory where your Qt4 library is installed, and suffix is 'none', 'default' or the version suffix to use So, you should use something as $ lyxconfig-cygwin lyx-devel /usr/local/qt/4.5.1 default Then, you don't need to install the devel version, but you can run it in place such as "build-cygwin/src/lyx.exe". Last thing: remember to set the execute bit on the .ttf fonts in lib/fonts otherwise, for a reason unknown to me, they will not be found. That should be all. -- Enrico
