Hi there, just want to let you know that it is now possible to build a native LyX on the evil OS with just free tools. All of this because the qt port in the kde on cygwin project is maturing. What you need is:
-LyX 1.3.x CVS -latest mingw with GCC 3.4 http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml -MSYS with autotools (msysDTK) -GPL win32 Qt port. http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3-win32/index.php -The patches on my page http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/. These need to be updated btw. Itīs still not a 100% working solution, because there are still some bugs in the Qt port. Weird things happen when mathed comes into play. But....these can of course be fixed if someone takes the time. Building the qt port with a cross compiler is difficult, but I think that the rest can easily be cross compiled. A fairly good explanation is found here: http://www.technosis.de/mingw/crosscompile/ I will try to update my patches a bit. Thereīs less patching needed if gcc is used. Ruurd
