Nope. The build environment (the GNU autotools, configure, make) requires MinSYS. I've also been using MinGW to provide the compiler (soooo slow coming from the linux world, but working). However, others are reporting success in compiling with MSVC. They've had to use a wrapper to invoke the compiler but, hey!, this is early days for us ;-) > Does it require X Windows? Nope. The cygwin-kde people are writing a Qt/Win32 native port of the GPL-ed Qt/unix libraries. They certainly haven't finished, but LyX requires only the GUI parts of Qt and this stuff appears to work. None of this is mainstream yet of course. Regards, Angus |
