Salutations!
I have been using LyX since writing my master's thesis. Now I've used it
for academic papers, coursework, my phd thesis and more. A big thank you
to the development team, the software has saved me a lot of work and
made writing academic documents much easier!
But, of course, there are always features I would like included and
certain improvements that I can envision. I know c++ pretty well, and am
curious if I would be able to make some contributions to the source
code. But I have never participated in an open source project before,
and the initial effort required to get involved is somewhat daunting...
I tried to compile LyX from the source code, but I use a 64-bit Windows
computer for work, and it seems like this platform is incompatible with
the source code package from the web site.
Is there any possibility for packaging the source code so that it would
work with Win64 and a collection of free (as in no-cost) software?
