[Lots of very good reasons to use Cygwin]
You don't have to convince me Enrico I am already on your side ;-)
My question was about the general windows user. For this kind of user,
I think installing cygwin is I think a no-go; using native package
(python, etc) is the way to go. But teaching the end-user about Cygwin
is of course a very nice thing to do also ;-)
Just my two cents: Forget Cygwin for the average windows user. He won't
accept it. Period.
Agreed...
I only have 256 Mbytes of memory and for the first time in my life
I saw a "memory exhausted" error when trying to build a dynamic
Qt after about 12 hours of computing. I will not try that anymore.
Obviously 256 Mo is not enough :-(
I have 512 MB and building a shared library is still no fun. Let's be
pragmatic. Shared vs. static is not a religuous question.
Well, let's be even more pragmatic: help me polishing the Qt4 port!
I mean it, compiling lyx without debug info requires a maximum of 50
Megs and is very fast!
