In my original post.... i stated that i try and run the test.ly and all it does is open the bash shell and nothing eles. The I get nothing was a statement back to Matt. about placing the test.ly into /home/username folder. Nothing happend when i ran it except that the bash shell would open. nothing eles. I will post the whole msg again Obviouly something happend as to where you were only able to read half of it...


My original post....

Hello after installing this twice.. just to make sure i didnt miss anything... When i double click test.ly all it does is open the command window and im at the prompt bash-2.05b$ it doesnt generate a test.log file either it does nothing else. I downloaded it twice from two different ftps just to make sure i didnt get a bad package.. IM running windows xp home and im at a loss. Any help would be good
thank you
David

What happens if you
- copy your test.ly file into C:\cygwin\home\<your login name>\
- Click on the Cygwin icon to get a bash prompt
- Run the command
lilypond test.ly
- If you get a test.pdf in your C:\cygwin\home\<your login name>\
  try to view it.

Please followup to the mailing list.

Same thing happens... tho there was no \home directory so i created it so its now C:\cygwin\home\David\test.ly and still i get nothing... im sure im missing something simple but who knows...

Hello, with that amount of information it seems quite impossible to give you any reasonable help. Normally a home directory is created by cygwin, so there _could_ have been some problem during the installation of cygwin, but who knows? Second: What have you _done_ (i.e. typed into the keyboard) and what response did you get? "I get nothing" is very vague, and I don't believe that. Maybe you just don't know that lilypond is a tool, which is usually called in a shell, like Mats suggested you to do.
any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
Honestly, I don't believe that. Otherwise you would try hard to make it easy for us to have any idea what the problem might be. Alois
