I've been meaning to get into the development (source wise) of LyX

As compilation takes quite a while, I need a fast machine for this.

reduces my options to a laptop with Windows. I see a few options:
* Make the machine dual boot and install Linux
(I'd prefer this, but it's a work laptop and I don't want to break
it)
I'm in the same situation otherwise I've gone the Linux route.
I'm really tempted to try it anyway... Or at least partition the
harddrive and boot using a LiveCD or something. As long as I dont mess
with the MBR I shouldn't be able to screw up the Windoze installation.
At your own risk ;-)
* Use windows and ???
- MSVC2005 (either Scons or CMake), that's what Bo, Michael, Edwin,
Peter and me are using.
- msys/mingw with autotools: I think this is not supported anymore
because of automake version.
- scons/mingw: This still works AFAIK.
- CMake/mingw: This still works AFAIK.
Can I (legally) download MSVC2005 gratis?
yes, search for the Express edition.
Does it include a debugger?
Yes and a very good one.
What compiler do you use in the latter alternatives, gcc?
yes.
Abdel.
