I have updated the Windows NT/95 Binary distribution site
http://home.austin.rr.com/jbr/jeff/lilypond/
NOTE:
If you are upgrading from a previous version of lilypond you will most
likely need to flush your font cache. I generally just toss
D:\localtexmf\fonts\tfm\public\ehrhardt and
D:\localtexmf\fonts\pk\ljfour\public\ehrhardt in the Recyle Bin. Your
local font directory may be different, please refer to your local
installation of TeX.
Windows users please let me know how it goes.
NEWS
The FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS file system problems have been corrected. I
have tested various installations that are known to be
operational. The following configurations that have been tested.
o Windows NT
o Installed on NTFS
o Runs from NTFS partion
o Runs from FAT16 partion
o Installed on FAT16
o Runs from NTFS partion
o Runs from FAT16 partion
o Windows 95
o Installed on FAT16
o Runs from FAT16 partion
o Runs from FAT32 partion
o Installed on FAT32
o Runs from FAT16 partion
o Runs from FAT32 partion
The installer was created with CreateInstall. This is a shareware
application that has capabilities close to the high dollar installers
InstallShield, Install Vise, and WiseInstaller. CreateInstall does
cost $38 to register which is probably going to be frowned upon, but I
was unable to find a freeware install builder that was suitable. The
self extracting distribution currently:
o Installs the lilypond distribution on any valid file system.
o Optionally creates a Lilypond shortcut group on your start menu
with the following shortcuts.
o lilyshell
o uninstall
o Allows unistall through the Add/Remove Program interface on the
control panel.
o The lilyshell uses the /E and /K switches to extend the environment
size and initialize the shell environment.
o It has the look and feel of a real Windows installer
The lilyshell shortcut initializes the environment so you can generate
music from a MSDOS prompt with commands like:
ly2dvi
convert-mudela
mudela-book
lilypond
mi2mu
I have also converted the Manual Pages for the above tools to HTML for
easy browsing. This release has been tested on Windows NT 4.0sp3 and
Windows 95 and found to be operational. If you have any troubles and
or comments please do not hesitate to drop me a line
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
This is what the version 1.1.53.jbr2 brings:
pl 53.jbr1
- scripts/ly2dvi.py: A fix for the multitude of file systems supported
by windows. As long as the paths that the cygwin apps use are
UNC style and the paths that the native windows apps use are DOS
style everybody is happy. I add quick and dirty unc2dos function
to facilitate this approach.
Happy engraving,
Jeff
