Hi All, on a windows 8.1 machine I am trying to follow the instructions here:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/INSTALL.Win32 to compile Lyx 2.0.7 for windows as I want to modify the (hard coded) icons size, otherwise illegible on my high definition convertible laptop. I have downloaded the source (2.0.7), installed QT and Cmake, but I do have a problem when I get to running the Cmake gui - first of all, upon entering the paths for the source and where to put the build, I get an error message in red in the message box at the bottom stating: "CMake Error: The source directory "C:/LyXSource/lyx-20" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI." Yet, the file is there, but it only contains comments: should I replace the "empty" Cmakelists.txt" files in the various sources with those available here: http://fossies.org/linux/misc/lyx-2.0.7.1.tar.gz/index_o.html or what else should I do? Secondly, I do not understand how to carry out the next instructions (I cannot see where I should insert them in the CMakegui window) which are - Enable LYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD and click Configure. Pre-compiled dependencies will automatically be downloaded. - Set QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE to e.g. C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1\bin\qmake.exe and Configure again. - Enable the LYX_INSTALL option, set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to C:\LyX\lyx-20-install and click Configure. - Check the Advanced checkbox. Set GETTEXT_MSGFMT_EXECUTABLE to C:\LyX\lyx-20-build\msvc2010-deps\deps20\gettext-tools\msgfmt.exe, and do the same for the other gettext tools. Forgive the absolute noob questions, and if this is too long to explain to me, I will just have to wait for the next version. Many thanks, Paola
