Compling LyX

[Michael Schmitt]

Hi Christian,

two comments on Angus' reply:

I suggest using LyX 1.3 for testing purposes. This version is solid rock 
software and in 99.9% of all cases you can assume that a drawing problem 
is indeed a problem of your Qt library.

I rather doubt that LyX 1.3 can be compiled with MSVC. However, I have 
created a short document that describes how to generate a LyX binary 
with MinGW in reasonable time. For debugging purposes, you can ignore 
the aspell part (step 4) as well as the LyX docs (step 5.2).

As Angus pointed out, linking takes endlessly with MinGW - unless you 
use a static version of the Qt library. The latter results in reasonable 
link time, although MSVC is certainly faster.

If you need more assistance: Let me know! (Send email directly to 
michael.schmitt (at) teststep (dot) org)

Regards, Michael
