... I've spend some time to analyse the problems I have on my system.
One problem is, that although starting a command in background (&) from any
interactive shell will work, that is NOT TRUE from within LyX! I replaced
/bin/sh with an own written wrapper, to get informed about what is passed to
the shell. I was impressed, that every command to be run in background leads
to a windows popup-window, telling me that there goes something wrong within
'Sh'.
So I make another change in src/lyx_cb.C as follows near line 591:
#ifndef __EMX__
if (!wait)
#ifdef WIN9X
cmd += " #";
#else
cmd += " &";
#endif
#else
I replaced the &-sign with an comment-sign and rewrote your script files as
follows:
=== START: external/xdvi =================================
# we only need the filename, i.e. the last argument!
# and we have to start in the background, so we're
# using Windows's start-mechanism!
while [ $# -gt 1 ]
do
shift
done
start yap.exe $1
=== END ===================================================
=== START: external/ghostview =============================
while [ $# -gt 1 ]
do
shift
done
start c:\\gstools\\gsview\\gsview32 $*
=== END ===================================================
>From this point on, calling 'View dvi file' works fine! Calling 'View ps'
will also start gsview, but (I don't know why yet) the file *.ps_tmp is not
found, i.e. it is not created! Calling 'Update ps' and then 'View ps' works
well!
But: inline viewing of pictures still will not work. I have installed your
gs4.03 as explained and made a link into /apps/lyx112/external/gs. It seems,
that gs isn't called successfully (I got those MS-popup-windows as
described)! Reading src/insets/figinset.C I think, that the mechanism is
based on the LyxServer, isn't it? When debuggung the Lyxserver I get some
(not all) information out of that file, like
GS[pid#]: error 255 E: 0 0 S: 0 127
Any idea what's wrong with my system?
Have a nice week
