Now, since Qt4.3.2 the MSVC compilation support is enabled in the official release so you don't even have to patch it anymore. I can send you precompiled dll if you want. Or you can use the one bundled in the last lyx installer (www.lyx.org). > so that's the reason I was stick to mingw > (although now it comes more and more clear to me that the shipped > version has problems with release compiled libraries) The first reason why we went away from mingw was because it was way too slow to compile Qt and LyX. With MSVC the binaries are much faster. Abdel.
