Several reasons. Cygwin offers a posix compliant environment. It already has all the tools needed by LyX and they can be installed with no hassle. A LyX/Cygwin package can be installed by the standard cygwin setup.exe using pre- and post-install bourne shell scripts. There is a command line utility (regtool) by which you can easily manipulate the registry. I think that in the past a cygwin port was not considered an option by most people due to the fact that they would also need an X server (tons of Mb).

I am really pleased that it seems I have to patch nothing in the LyX sources ;-) Well... I had to manually add -DQ_CYGWIN_WIN to the defines in the Makefiles in src/frontends/qt2, but only because I didn't want to reconfigure. Is there a better way than adding that define to CXXFLAGS? After all it is only needed for the sources in qt2. Or, better, why not add it to the sources? Perhaps in config.h, something along the lines of #if defined(X_DISPLAY_MISSING) && defined(__CYGWIN__) #define Q_CYGWIN_WIN 1 #endif -- Enrico
