Actually you might prefer to just use the LyX dependencies package that
we provide for Windows developers, it contains Qt. I paste here the
relevant part of our 'INSTALL.Win32':

Thanks, I've tried it but without success because I need MSVC 2005
installed, and currently is not.

Right.

Anyhow for now I have produced a version with mingw that seems more or
less to work, when I have a bit of time I will install MSVC 2005 and
try if with that compiler is better...

I would like to help you with that but I can't retrieve the repository:

Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

$ git --version
git version 1.5.3.6.1791.gfd264

'git clone ssh://...' seems to work but I guess I need a login and password?

Maybe I am doing something wrong here? Sorry, my first time ever with git...

Abdel.

PS: Sorry for the cross posting but I guess this issue is maybe of
interest to msysgit people.

Why would anything that has to do with MSVC2005 be interesting to msysGit?  
Note the "msys" part of "msysGit".

FWIW a member of our team works on compiling/including qgit into msysGit.  
But definitely not using closed-source compilers.  I would violently 
oppose that.

Ciao,
