Something sets GNUWIN32_FIND_REQUIRED when building with MSVC, so that you get these messages from development/cmake/modules/FindGNUWIN32.cmake: message(STATUS "ERROR: Could NOT find GNUWIN32, please set GNUWIN32_DIR") message(STATUS "ERROR: or let cmake download all required files by using - DLYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD=1") This was reported by racoon, and I also vaguely remember another report about that. Unfortunately I do not understand how GNUWIN32_FIND_REQUIRED gets set. Although the variable is called GNUWIN32_DIR it is in fact gettext only when using the 3rdparty libs included with LyX (i.e. LYX_3RDPARTY_BUILD). Georg
