Can a build system other than autotools be used?

Dear list, We are planning to submit lyx (www.lyx.org) to cygwin-apps. Although autotools is currently used as the primary build system, we have a scons based system that works better under cygwin, and may replace autotools in the future. Will cygwin accept a build system other than autotools? I

Re: Can a build system other than autotools be used?

The only requirement is that the packages should be buildable with things that are already in the Cygwin distribution. Since, AFAIK, scons isn't yet, you might want to ITP scons before you ITP lyx. This is not a problem since scons is python-based so no additional build process is necessary. Ly

[ITP] Lyx 1.4.3

Dear list, I am interested in becoming the package maintainer of the cygwin port of lyx (http://www.lyx.org/). Lyx is a latex based word processor. It is easy to use and has many advanced features like change-tracking. Lyx has been part of some major linux distributions like debian, gentoo suse a

I just checked the binary package: o /usr/doc should be /usr/share/doc o There is a lyx-1.4.3-1.README in the source package, but it's named lyx1.4.3-1.README in the binary package. I would rename that to be consistent with the rest of the packages. Building from source is fine. GTG if

Re: Please upload: lyx-1.4.4-1

Uploaded. Could you have a look over your setup.hint file? For instance, It mentions a dependency to libintl, but it uses the latest libintl8. I had a look at setup.hint and all other dependencies are fine. Please update setup.hint for me, or upload the attached file. Thanks. Bo setup.hint

cygwin / qt4?

Hi, I maintain the cygwin port of lyx. Lyx will release 1.5.0 soon but 1.5.0 is based on qt4. I can compile lyx 1.5.0 with qt4 open source myself, but I think it is impractical (or illegal) to distribute qt4 with lyx. Will there be a qt4 package for cygwin in the near future? Thanks. Bo
