With the help of the attached patch, I have built and uploaded a snapshot of the 1.4.x branch to:
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/LyX141pre/lyx-1.4.1-pre_win32_setup_v1.exe

Jean-Marc, could you apply the patch please? (I have been unable to create a writable subversion repository on Windows; something to do with my firewall, I think.)

I built against Aspell 0.6 and the latest and greatest snapshot of Qt/Win Free.

I configured --with-version-suffix='1.4.x' prefix, but after local installation in the installprefix directory, I manually changed the names of the executables in the bin directory to lyx.exe and tex2lyx.exe. I did this so that the lyx.bat generated by the installer would work as expected.

Here, I have the thing installed at J:\Program Files\LyX14x. User-level support files are to be found in C:\Documents and Settings\Angus\Application Data\LyX1.4.x. I continue to be able to use LyX 1.3.7.

Everything seems to work...

Would interested parties please try this out? If it proves to work as advertised I'll put together a page on the wiki and we can advertise more widely.

Regards,
Angus
