Installing LyX/Cygwin
---------------------

1)  Install all the prerequisite packages (see README.txt)

2)  Download the cygwin setup program http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
    and launch it.

3)  Choose "Install from Local Directory", leave the "Root Directory"
    pointing to your cygwin installation, and then choose as
    "Local Package Directory" the one containing this file.

4)  In the "Select Packages" view, you should see a LyX category. Click
    on the + to expand the category. Now you should see three packages
    listed: LyX, aiksaurus, and dvipost.

5)  If you are upgrading from a previous version, all upgradable packages
    should already be selected and you need to do nothing. If this is your
    first installation, click on the S-shaped icon labeled "Skip" for the
    LyX package to install it. Now you should see that "Skip" has changed
    to the version number and that aiksaurus is also marked for installation.

6)  If you want to also install dvipost, click on its S-shaped icon.
    Dvipost is a latex post filter to support change bars in postscript output.

7)  Once you made your choices, click on next to complete the installation.
    Please, be patient while the post-installation scripts are running.

8)  When the setup program finishes, you should edit the file /etc/lyxprofile
    to fill in your HOME directory, if it is not already set up in your system
    environment, and change the LANG variable if you want menus translated in
    your language. Possibly, you will also have to adjust OUTPUT_CHARSET if
    it doesn't match your character set, but the default value should be fine.

9)  You should not need changing anything else, unless you will use the
    Qt/X11 version of LyX *and* your X-server is not XWin (the cygwin X-server).
    In this case, you should change the variable XSERVERNAME such that
    it reflects the name of your X-server as it appears when issuing the
    command "ps -efW" while it is running. You should also modify
    the script /usr/local/bin/startxserver in order to let the wrapper
    program lyx-x11.exe launch by itself the X-server when needed.

10) LyX/Cygwin should now be installed.
