And if you report problems about cmake could not find Qt5 something is fishy on your system. Damn no, I did not report this. I can compile Lyx with Qt 5.5.1 with MSVC 2010, but not with MSVC 2012 Or newer. CMake could and can find Qt, I only need to specify some Qt paths. I think that specifying only one should be sufficient too. That your script doesn't work is another issue. As I wrote I could compile with the script before you changed it. > And nobody had an idea what you are doing when creating the installer. I wrote you an email with the instructions. Have you read it? Have you tried it out? I'm upset to hear such statements if people did not even tried it. I asked you for feedback and got no reply. > >Sorry, but it is an effrontery to say that no dev has the time nor the >ability to build a reliable installer! > But it looked like you are not able to get a straightforward build, Please read what I wrote. I did not write thus! I wrote the opposite and requested you to test a ready installer. > you told you have to touch 40 pathes to get a build up. Hearing this, the > only reaction is "wtf is he doing". Just run CMake and set Qt to Qt4. For Qt 5 there are only 6 Qt paths. >> Of course the installer for beta works fine - tested for 2 days on 5 >PCs.

Damn, the INSTALLER. Of course I will build LYx wheb it is released. Uwe
