Compiling LyX 2.3 for Win32 and creating Windows installer
==========================================================
It's recommended to compile LyX using Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 and CMake.
Compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC)
===================================
The easiest way to install LyX with MSVC is to follow this Wiki page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Compilation
If you find there any errors please write a mail to the lyx-devel mailing list.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following instructions assume the LyX source code is in C:\LyX\lyx-23
You can also use another directory if you prefer.
1 Install MSVC 2015
If you don't have Visual C++ 2015 installed, get the free Community edition
from https://www.visualstudio.com/. Make sure that the following two
features are selected for installation:
- "Visual C++" from "Programming languages" (only the first option
"Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" is needed)
- "Tools and Windows SDKs" from "Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools"
The latter one requires Windows 8.1. If you use an older windows version
please install the "Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) für Windows 8.1"
from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-8-1-sdk.
This version requires at least Windows 7.
If the build complains later that it cannot find the file
C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props then the SDK is not installed properly.
2 Install Qt
Download the latest Qt for Open Source C++ development on Windows (VS2015)
from https://qt.io/download-open-source/
Qt 5.6.x is recommended, but 5.7.x or later versions should work as well.
If you want to build LyX as 32bit application, you need Qt x86.
If you want to build LyX as 64bit application, you need Qt x64.
Make sure that the bin subfolder of the Qt installation (e.g.
C:\Qt\Qt5.6.1\5.6\msvc2015\bin) is listed in the PATH environment variable.
3 Install Python
Install the latest Python 2.x or 3.x version from
https://www.python.org/downloads/
4 Install CMake
Install the latest CMake from http://www.cmake.org
5 Download dependencies
Download the LyX for Windows build dependencies from
ftp.lyx.de/LyXWinInstaller/lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015.zip
6 Configure
- Open the "Developer Command Prompt for VS2015" from the
"Visual Studio 2015\Visual Studio Tools" subfolder of the start menu.
Run the CMake GUI from the command window that was opened.
Alternatively, you can create a .bat file that first contains the line
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
and then calls the CMake GUI and use this .bat file to start CMake.
This is for building a 32bit LyX, if you want to build a 64bit LyX replace
'x86' by 'amd64'.
The MSVC 2015 command prompt or vcvarsall.bat set some environment
variables that are needed for CMake to find the compiler.
- Set the source code path to C:\LyX\lyx-23
Set the build path to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build
Click Configure and set the generator to "Visual Studio 14 2015" to
build a 32bit LyX or "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" to build a 64bit LyX.
- Set LYX_USE_QT to QT5 and click Configure.
- Set GNUWIN32_DIR to the folder that contains the dependencies.
(This alternative does currently not work:
Enable LYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD and click Configure.
Pre-compiled dependencies will automatically be downloaded.)
- Enable the LYX_INSTALL option and click Configure.
- Click Generate.
7 Compile
A Microsoft Visual C++ solution should have been generated at
C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\lyx.sln
Compile the INSTALL project to get a LyX installation in
C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED.
8 Copy dependencies
Copy
- C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\bin
- C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\imagemagick
- C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\Python
- C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\ghostscript
- C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\msvc2015-deps\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2015\Resources
to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED
And copy from the Qt bin directory (see item 2 "Install Qt" above)
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Svg.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
Qt5WinExtras.dll
Qt5Cored.dll (if compiling Debug version)
Qt5Guid.dll (if compiling Debug version)
Qt5Svgd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
Qt5Widgetsd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
Qt5WinExtrasd.dll (if compiling Debug version)
to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin
9 Define path prefix
Add the following line to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED\Resources\lyxrc.dist,
so LyX will find the bundled tools such as Python, ImageMagick
and Ghostscript:
\path_prefix "$LyXDir\bin;$LyXDir\Python;$LyXDir\imagemagick;$LyXDir\ghostscript"
You may also add the location of your LaTeX installation if it's not on the
system PATH, and the location of JabRef.
10 Start LyX
C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin\lyx.exe
Creating the Installer
======================
- Get NSIS from http://nsis.sourceforge.net
- In the LyX source directory, go to development\Win32\packaging\installer
- Follow the steps in the file Readme.txt
Compiling with GCC with MinGW64 + MSYS2 Environment using autotools
===================================================================
1 Install MSYS2, MINGW64, Qt5+
https://wiki.qt.io/MSYS2
2 Install bc (Bench calculater), which autotools uses for some reason to compile LyX
pacman -S bc
3 Run the standard autotools install (Adapt paths and arguments accordingly)
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-x --enable-qt5 --disable-debug --enable-optimization --prefix=/mingw64
make
make install
Cross-Compiling on unix with MXE using autotools
=================================================
1 Install MXE: http://mxe.cc
You can either install from sources, the generic .tar binaries or debian .deb packages.
Installing the following .deb packages will drag in all needed dependencies:
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-file
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-gcc
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-libiconv
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtimageformats
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtsvg
mxe-x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared-qtwinextras
Of course you can also use the static and/or 32bit versions.
2 Run the standard autotools install (Adapt paths and arguments accordingly)
./autogen.sh
mkdir builddir-mingw
cd builddir-mingw
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" ../configure --host=x86-64-w64-mingw32.shared --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5 --enable-qt5 --with-included-boost --with-included-hunspell --with-included-mythes --disable-debug --enable-optimization --prefix=/mingw64
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" make
PATH="/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" DESTDIR=/tmp/lyxinstall make install
This uses the paths from the 64bit shared MXE version installed from .deb packages.
3 If you want to run the resulting lyx.exe from the build directory using wine,
create symlinks for all needed .dlls:
cd builddir-mingw/src
ln -s /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/bin/*.dll .
ln -s /usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/qt5/bin/*.dll .
wine64 lyx.exe
