Here's what I did on Windows.
Checked out the LyX 1.4.x tree:
$ cvs -d ':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/lyx' \
login
The password is 'lyx'
$ cvs -d ':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/lyx' \
-z9 checkout -d devel lyx-devel
This creates a directory 'devel' containing the entire 1.4.x tree. It's
brought over compressed (-z9) to minimize bandwidth.
$ cd devel
$ ./autogen.sh
This generates the Makefile templates (Makefile.in files) and the
configure script.
$ mkdir build && cd build
It's nicer not to pollute the source with your build files.
$ ../configure --prefix='J:/Programs/LyX' --with-included-gettext
$ (cd boost && make)
$ (cd src/support && make)
$ (cd src/tex2lyx && make install)
$ (cd lib && make install)
This populates 'J:/Programs/LyX' with everything that tex2lyx, reLyX and
lyx2lyx could possibly need and then some. I went on to prune lots of
unneeded stuff. Note that the 'Resources' directory on Windows is the
'share' directory on Unix.
I left only the stuff below. The lyx2lyx and reLyX directories are fully
populated.
LyX/
bin/
reLyX
tex2lyx.exe
Resources/
lyx/
chkconfig.ltx
credits
lyx2lyx/
...
lyx2lyx
packages.lst
textclass.lst
configure
layouts/
lyxrc.defaults
reLyX/
It took me about 15 minutes to do all that.
Using it? See the mail
"tex2lyx, lyx2lyx round trip is still broken (worse!)"
on the lyx-devel list.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel:41487
and ensuing thread for a round trip lyx->tex->lyx->tex and attempt to run
latex on the .tex files for the LyX user guide.
