tex/latex/perl/python/sh/sed, etc., and since many people (like me) make
extensive use of cygwin, having a cygwin package (that understands its
posix-like paths) would be very valuable.

Have you also tried to build a cygwin version? Since cygwin already suppies

SH: When I looked into Cygwin, this is what I found, make file attached:

Hello,

"Are there plans to integrate LyX to the cygwin distribution?  AFAIK,
this compile is the only one that works on every known flavor of Win32."

1.3.7 xforms dependencies: X11, perl, python, ghostscript,
imagemagick...

1.4.0 xforms dependencies: X11, python, ghostscript, imagemagick...

Qt compiled LyXes also depend on the Qt library distributed with
cygwin.

All builds work with either the windows native MiKTeX or cygwin's
teTeX. I think that should be left to user's choice.

"There are no plans here to do so. Of course, if someone wishes to
do so then that's great!"

"It is of course good to have such an option. However, with the new
all-in-one windows installer, I can not see an urgent need for it."

"I am using the LyX CVS 1.4 version. Building LyX from source on
Cygwin is easy, but you need a down-revved GCC (version 3.3.3).
For some reason, anything higher does not play well with the QT
library (also compiled from source).

Get QT3 from the cygwin-kde site and install it according to the
cygwin-specific directions (I can dig these up later, if you need,
I am at work now).

Next, you need to make sure to use the ld-script included with QT-3.

I have attached a script I use to make LyX (1.4.0CVS) with Qt3 on Cygwin.

This is how I set my system up:

~/src/lyxbuild/
    lyx/ <- This is the CVS source directory
    qtbuild/ <- build directory for QT LyX
    make <- This is the script I have attached.

Then:

cd ~/src/lyxbuild/qtbuild
../make all-qt

You will have to change some paths to get this to work for you."

Perhaps Enrico has more current information.
