Can LyX-1.4.1 be installed on WinME? I tried the V1 setup program and
after searching (and correctly finding) the dependecies (msys, python,
etc.), it crashes with message: "Lyx-1 has caused an error in KRNL386.EXE"
from Windows.
So the crash is in the installer, right? There's not much we can do about
that.
I *do* know that Luis Rivera was using LyX 1.3.7 successfully on Win98 but
he
was unable to use the installer.
Do you have access to a more modern Windows machine? If so, install LyX on
that,
then zip up the contents of C:\Program Files\LyX (or whereever you install
it)
and unzip this .zip on your WinME machine. If you don't have access to such
a
machine then drop me a line and I'll zip something up for you.
You'll need to do a few things by hand that the installer would otherwise
do for
you. The most important of these is that you'll need to run the LyX
configure
script. To do that, you'll need to go open up a cmd console on the WinME
machine, go into C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources and run the configure
script:
set PATH=C:\Msys\bin;%PATH%
sh configure

Did that. And it worked. Thanks very much. But I still cannot use LyX. It
opens in a very small window, which cannot be resized in any way. Even by
pressing the full-screen button. This is the very same problem I had with
the 1.3.7 version in WinME. At that time I asked for help to the user's list
but noone could help. So I waited for the new version. I think that this a
problem (bug?) with the Qt library, and is specific to WinME.
