I think INSTALL.Win32 is seriously out of date and needs to be looked over
by someonw who knows this stuff... Here's a patch where I'm *guessing* -
it should *not* be applied as it is.
I changed 'MinSYS' be changed into 'MSYS', is that correct?
Does the procedure described in this file even work?
Maybe the file should refer to the Windows installers that exist?

Christian, Angus, Uwe,
today I managed to compile LyX 1.4.0 using MinGW (as usual...). Ok, I
had to use cygwin's automake but this won't be a problem for the final
LyX 1.4 tar package.
I cleaned up and updated my compile instructions (see attachment). If
you like to, you can have a look at my file and update INSTALL.Win32
accordingly (sorry, I will have no time before next weekend).
Please note that my compile instructions differ in two ways from what is
described in INSTALL.Win32 and supported by the build scripts in
./development/Win32/...:
- I link the Qt library statically rather than dynamically (link times
are below 4 minutes on my 3 GHz machine).
- I use Aspell 0.60.4 rather than 0.50.X (much fewer problems when
building with MinGW)
There seems to be an apparent bug in
./development/Win32/packaging/package_lyxwin.sh: AFAICS, LyX 1.4 no
longer has a "lyx" directory in "Resources". The script should be fixed
independently from INSTALL.Win32. Does anybody volunteer?

3.1 Get the latest CVS version
Open the MSYS window/bash. In your home directory, enter
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qtwin login
<return> (no password)
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qtwin co \
-r QT_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH qt-3
3.2 Compile a static (!) QT library (dynamic linking with MinGW causes
nightmares!)

- Adjust LYX_INSTALL_DIR to ="/c/Programme/LyX-1.4"
- Remove "${QT_DLL}" "${LIBICONV_DLL}" "${MINGW_DLL}" in line 45
- !!! Replace all occurrences of "Resources/lyx" by just "Resources"
- Run the packaging script (in the directory in which it is located!)
5.7 If you like to, add icons to lyx.exe using the ResourceHacker (open source
software)
- Start ResourceHacker.exe
- Load /c/Programme/LyX-1.4/bin/lyx.exe
- Action>Add a new Resource...
- Open file with new resource... lyx_32x32.ico
- set Resource Name to 1
- Add Resource
- Repeat for lyx_doc_32x32.ico, setting the Resource Name to 2
- Save the modified lyx.exe
