I managed to get a working LyX on Cygwin with qt-3!! I compiled qt-3 from source, following the instructions at this page closely: http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3/compiling.php Then, I ran the resulting binary and got the message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)" After browsing around, I found this page which contains the answer: http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/faq.php#0xc000005 So, I applied the fix (changed the linker options in src/Makefile by hand) and re-linked lyx to get a working executable. Unfortunately, I still can not View->PDF or Export->PDF (same symptoms as my lyx-xforms binary: an immediate crash). In order to see if this is a recent problem, I am recompiling a lyx-xforms binary using a CVS date of "1 month ago". I suspect that some recent process handling changes may have broken things on Cygwin, since I can not reproduce the issue on Linux. ---Kayvan
