Then since Windows caused the bother here, I suggest modifying the LyX
code to read
bool lyx_copy(string const & from, string const & to)
{
+#if defined (WIN32)
ifstream ifs(from.c_str(), ios::binary);
+#else
+ // A bug in the gcc 2.95 implementation of ifstream
+ // means that we can't use ios::binary here (even though
+ // it should have no effect on unix machines).
+ ifstream ifs(from.c_str());
+#endif
if (!ifs)
return false;
ofstream ofs(to.c_str(),
ios::binary | ios::out | ios::trunc);
if (!ofs)
return false;
ofs << ifs.rdbuf();
if (ofs.good())
return true;
return false;
}
I'll make a patch.
