Hi there,
I took the dive to compile LyX on windows 10. Interesting experiment...
Intalling Visual studio takes maybe one hour (not downloading), Qt takes
just as much, selecting what platform to install is like evading a maze.
But, thanks to the nice INSTALL file, I did it (Qt 5.9.3 64bits) for
2.3.x+properpaint branch (I will switch to master soon).
First (good) news: there is no black screen like on the Mac.
Second (bad) news: the performance is terrible, much worse that 2.2.3 as
packaged by Uwe. Uwe, what is your secret? Do I have to set some
optimization level?
I tried to run with a profiler (Very Sleepy CS), but without debug I do
not see any LyX function, and with debug what I see is some string
manipulation from the C++ library.
What does debug mean? Is this only debug information or also
instrumenting for run-time checking?
Kornel, what is a good set of parameters for profiling?
