Note that Ruurd Reitsma has had success in the past using a cygwin tool that takes a g++ command and converts it to an msvc one. Do a google search on "wrapmsvc". Personally, I never succeeded in getting it to work, but then I never really tried that hard. The incentive to use it is that it would enable you to use LyX's existing automake/conf stuff to generate config.h and build the Makefiles and to then use MSYS's standard "make" to build LyX using MSVC. I attach a script that I've used in the past to play with all this. However, I don't think that I ever got configure to run successfully and I certainly didn't spend any time investigating why not. Perhaps you'll find this useful though? -- Angus
