Non-native QtLyX for Win32

[Steven van Dijk]

Hi,

The plan: checkout LyX from CVS, download the cygwin Qt-port ( http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/ ) and compile LyX with a Qt-frontend. Granted, I would still need an X-server, but I have that always running anyway so I don't care.

I checked out lyx-devel from cvs yesterday. First I wanted to build it with Xforms, since that seemed safer. I got stuck halfway because in src/.libs a file is generated called impgen.c . The sed-script that should strip the hashes failed because the file contains "#\t" and not "# ". I fixed this manually and then compilation proceeded to the link of lyx.exe. I get a whole bunch of linker-errors, which I append at the end of this message. I wanted to try it again today but a new checkout gives me "autoconf 2.57 not supported" (I updated my cygwin installation). Can somebody try this out who knows what he's doing? (Ruurd?)

Ok, this is what I got:
