| Hum, right now it's impossible to build 1.4cvs with mingw because of

Hmm... I do not remember seeing a report about that.

"As things stand, I'm afraid that the port of automake 1.9 to Windows
isn't yet ready for prime time. (Hence it isn't part of MSYS yet).
That means I can build neither LyX 1.4 nor tex2lyx on Windows using
mingw/msys. (This is with an otherwise pristine source tree.)"

I also noticed that MinGW no longer allows you to build 1.4.0cvs. As a
workaround, I use cygwin's automake to generate the Makefiles. It works
as expected but, of course, it isn't nice to have to install and use
cygwin in addition to MinGW. Thank god, we ship the final 1.4.0 source
distribution with the auto-generated files so that the users do not have
to run automake by themselves.
A MinGW version of both Qt and LyX can be built by using the cygwin g++
with the -mno-cygwin switch. If there is interest I'll post my howto.
It is not for the faint-heart, though ;-)
