It is supposed to use Qt but I don't know if Qt3 is used for

That's just a directory name thing. CVS isn't very smart when it comes to
renaming things or adding directories.
I build LyX against the QT_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH branch of the qtwin project.
Grab it with the cvs command:
$ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qtwin \
login
<press Enter when asked for a password>
$ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qtwin \
checkout -r QT_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH qt-3
Have a look at development/Win32/packaging/build_lyxwin.sh to see what
needs to be done to build LyX using the MinGW/MSYS environment. In truth,
I haven't used this with 1.4 for ages because I tend to use the MSVS.Net
2003 compiler (there's a .sln file in development/Win32). However, it
certainly used to work. (You might want to add "--disable-stdlib-debug" to
the options passed to the LyX configure script; it speeds up LyX's
execution by an order of magnitude.)

Thank you. I have MS C++ visual?, but have only used
Cygwin and Msys. I'm actually going to try this. Do
you happen to know the syntax for the config --frontend qt
I've seen it and can probably find it if you don't know
it off the top of your head. I want to see if change/tracking
works in windows. BTW, I still can't install to C:\Lyx using
1.3.7_3 without getting the textclass.lst error. OTOH, that
may well have a low priority. I keep learning, I didn't know
that Miktex wasn't crucial to LyX for instance.
Regards,
Stephen
