OK. Those are long threads dealing with many different issues. Not that I want to beat a dead horse, but looking quickly at some of the things dealt with I can see that there seems to be a mix of forward and backward slashes in many of the paths. Forward slashes does work (sometimes) in paths on NT based Windows, but not at all in the others. Also I spotted things like PATH="c:\path1\;c:\path2\" That will not work, since Win will see only one path component. It must be PATH="c:\path1\";"c:\path2\" if quotes are used at all. I guess some of those problems could be put to rest if the installer used short names everywhere on DOS based windows. And apart from all of that, does Lilypond *really* work on Win95 and it's cousins? -- Sven Axelsson _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
