Yes, I also had that port. Actually, it was because of that port (and
cygwin) that I began booting Windows instead of Linux on my laptop ;-)
My idea is to provide a cygwin package for LyX. This could be hosted on
the ftp.lyx.org server with all other binary packages.
I don't know about an official cygwin package, because they require that a
package be compilable from sources and I don't use their Qt/X11 package.
Then, I don't know if I'll have the time to support the package, but I
think that once you start it someone else could take over ;-)
As regards the howto, I am attaching a revised version here. In the
previous version, step 5) can be safely skipped: it was a remnant of
another howto (how to compile a mingw LyX using cygwin).
Once things settle, most of the howto can be replaced by a single patch
file to be applied to the Qt sources.

In this howto all examples are shown for tcsh, but it is trivial to change them
for bash. Mainly, it is simply a matter of substituting "export XXX=YYY" in
place of "setenv XXX YYY" (or simply use tcsh instead of bash).
QT3/Windows Free Edition
------------------------
In the following, it is assumed that the Qt sources are in /usr/local/src/qt3.
If you have them in another place, simply replace the above path with what is
appropriate.
The Qt sources can be obtained though CVS. In /usr/local/src enter
$ setenv CVSROOT ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qtwin"
$ cvs login
<return> (no password)
$ cvs -z9 -r QT_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH -d qt3 qt-3
1) Add the following line
export QTDIR=/usr/local/src/qt3
at the very start of the following sh scripts:
config.tests/unix/endian.test
config.tests/unix/ipv6.test
config.tests/unix/largefile.test
config.tests/unix/ptrsize.test
config.tests/unix/stl.test
2) Add the following line to mkspecs/cygwin-g++-win32/qmake.conf
(immediately after the line "CONFIG +=")
DEFINES += UNICODE
3) Add the following lines at the very start of
mkspecs/cygwin-g++-win32/qplatformdefs.h
#ifdef UNICODE
#ifndef _UNICODE
#define _UNICODE
#endif
#endif
4) Add the "-f" flag to ln in qmake/Makefile.unix
(in the qmake: target) as follows:
ln -s -f ../qmake/$@ @BUILD_PATH@/bin/$@
5) For the CVS version that I checked out, I also had to add some #include's
to src/kernel/qapplication_win.cpp and src/kernel/qfont_win.cpp:
$ diff qapplication_win.cpp.orig qapplication_win.cpp
47a48,49
> #include <locale.h>
> #include <ctype.h>
$ diff qfont_win.cpp.orig qfont_win.cpp
64a65
> #include <locale.h>
6) In src/kernel/qapplication_win.cpp substitute _flushall()
with the following code:
#if defined (Q_OS_CYGWIN)
fflush(NULL);
#else
_flushall();
#endif
7) Protect the inclusion of winsock.h in src/kernel/qeventloop_win.cpp:
#if !defined (Q_OS_CYGWIN)
#include <winsock.h>
#endif
8) Protect the definition of QT_WA in src/network/qdns.cpp:
#if !defined (QT_WA)
#define QT_WA( uni, ansi ) ansi
#endif
9) In tools/designer/app/app.pro change the occurrence of "designercore.lib"
into "libdesignercore.a"
10) Apply the qtfix.diff patch:
$ cd /usr/local/src/qt3
$ patch -p0 < /path/to/qtfix.diff
11) Configure and compile Qt
$ setenv QTDIR /usr/local/src/qt3
$ setenv PATH "$QTDIR/bin:$PATH"
$ ./configure -platform cygwin-g++-win32 -v -release -static -qt-imgfmt-png
-qt-imgfmt-jpeg -qt-imgfmt-mng -no-exceptions -disable-opengl -disable-sql
-disable-network -no-style-compact -no-style-cde -no-style-motif
-no-style-motifplus -no-style-platinum -no-style-sgi -no-sm -no-xft -no-xkb
-no-xrender --enable-accessibility
(Please, note the double '-' in --enable-accessibility above)
Now edit Makefile and comment out sub-tutorial and sub-examples
(in the all: target) placing '#' in front of sub-tutorial as follows:
all: symlinks src-qmake src-moc sub-src sub-tools #sub-tutorial sub-examples
$ make
12) Install a minimal Qt (such that the source tree could even be deleted)
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/qt-cygwin/bin
$ mkdir /usr/local/qt-cygwin/include /usr/local/qt-cygwin/lib
$ cp -p /usr/local/src/qt3/bin/{moc.exe,uic.exe} /usr/local/qt-cygwin/bin/
$ strip /usr/local/qt-cygwin/bin/{moc.exe,uic.exe}
$ cp -p /usr/local/src/qt3/lib/libqt.{a,la,prl} /usr/local/qt-cygwin/lib/
$ cd /usr/local/src/qt3/include
$ tar cf - . | (cd /usr/local/qt-cygwin/include; tar xvBpf -)
$ rm -rf /usr/local/qt-cygwin/include/CVS
Now edit /usr/local/qt-cygwin/lib/libqt.la and change
a) "library_names='libqt.dll.a'" to "library_names='libqt.a'"
b) "libdir='/usr/local/qt3/src/lib'" to "libdir='/usr/local/qt-cygwin/lib'"
LyX

1) Unpack lyx-1.4.0pre4.tar.bz2 in /usr/local/src
2) Apply the following patch:

-#ifdef Q_WS_MACX

3) Configure LyX
$ cd /usr/local/src
$ ./lyxconfig-cygwin lyx-1.4.0pre4 static
4) Add the following lines to src/config.h (at the bottom)
#if defined(X_DISPLAY_MISSING) && defined(__CYGWIN__)

$ cd lyx-1.4.0pre4/build
