tell me you don't have that kind of problems with Cygwin
Here's a thought:
Write a smart installer using NSIS that can query your system and pull over
everything that you don't have but need to develop on Windows.
In 6 months time you'll be able to return to development of LyX itself ;-)
Year, don't have the courage, nor the ability to do that ;-)
I was thinking of zipping my "d:/mingw" and "d:/cygwin" directories and
offer that on my site. After setting some environment variables (PATH
mainly) and modifying /etc/profile on cygwin, this should just work and
be much easier than going through the hassle of installing everything by
yourself.
Simply copying "d:/cygwin" will not work. You'll have to provide the
output of "mount -m" and instructions about how modifying it in case
it is copied in a different place than "d:/cygwin". It should not
be difficult.
What is the equivalent of /etc/fstab on cygwin? This information is in
the registry?
--- excerpt from the mount man page ---
-m, --mount-commands
write mount commands to replicate user and system mount points
and cygdrive prefixes
