Thanks for replying,

I specially installed Visual C++ Express for this. So I followed points 1-5
in INSTALL.Win32. After entering build_msvc.bat it says:

Reading SConscript files ...
....
Checking for C header file windows.h ...

and then complains. The config.log is below:

file C:\Utilities\lyx-devel\development\scons\SConstruct,line 563:
  Configure(confdir = .sconf_temp)
scons: Configure: Checking for C header file windows.h...

Hi,

Your first mail didn't contain a lot of details, so it was difficult to guess.

I think it's strange that you use the windows.h file from lyx-windows-deps-msvc2008\include. "windows.h" should be available on your system.

What happens if you remove it from this directory ?

I use(d) Visual C++ Express too and I have only <aspell.h, iconv.h, libintl.h, zconf.h and zlib.h> in this directory (and some hunspell stuff).

If you can't work it out, you might want to try using CMake.
