importing tex files into lyx with windows xp

2003-04-02 Thread Sergio Camiz
I installed Lyx 1.3.0 with Cygwin under Windows XP home.
Everything seems to be all right, but two things do not work: I cannot get 
the main manual and I cannot import tex files, that were working ok with 
MiKTeX.

Is there anybody who can help me? Please, answer to my mail address. Thank you

importing tex files

2002-07-16 Thread Struan Cockcroft

I have recently crossed over from windows, in which I was using
scientific workplace, to linux (and burned the bridge).  I tried
ktexmaker, but I need wysiwym so I installed lyx 1.2.0.  It's very nice
but it cannot import my tex files from swp or ktexmaker, cannot relyx. 
Can anyone help me, please. I have attached a file.

I have no problems wth reLyX on your file. maybe you should convert the DOS
line endings first, but I don't think that's a problem. What did reLyX say?

Note that you use some tcilatex.sty (which I believe is coming with
Scientific Workplace).  You need that, too, or - probably better -
re-insert your pictures using LyX thereby getting rid of the SW dependance
and getting visual feeback within LyX.

If I am not mistaken SW is built on an old version of LaTex (At least this
was the case sometime ago when I had to deal with an export problem between
Mathematica and SW.)
This may be one of the problems?

I don't think so. LaTeX per se is a pretty stable format which has not
changed much. The problem is the usage of non-standard packages as
tcilatex.sty.

As far as I know SW even has a option to safe clean LaTeX which produces
more portable .tex but once the bridges are burnt there is no easy way to
re-try. I try from time to time to run SW under Wine (and last time I even
got the interaction with Maple working but the .ps generation failed), so
maybe that's an option for larger quantities of files. For individual files
I'd hand-clean the .tex.

And to be honest, it is not much better the other way the other way
round...
