Hi Jean-Marc!
I send this to you because I know that you are one of the core developers;-)
I've picked the new pre1 source and have compiled the sources. So what?:
LyX1.1.5pre1 now is available under Win32! You can pick it here:
http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm
Congratulations to the whole team: Now there are only two things to fix to
make LyX run under Win32! I will append my patch file - maybe you are
interested in what is missing to compile it out of the box under CygWin.
One error - I never told before (shame on me ;) is that the lyxrc.example
has an error since 1.1.4fix2 release. In that file the option
\view_dvi_paper_option is described but as an example you only have written
\view_dvi_paper "". This results in an error message when starting LyX (in
the shell window) and after this results in error when yap.exe tries to open
a4.dvi from anywhere! The correction can be found in the appended patch!
BTW: I've got many messages from users interested in LyX on Win32 who wonder
why only Steven van Dijk's link is on your page with 1.0.4 release. It seems
that it is very hard to find my page! Maybe there is some space to include
the above link, too?
Best Regards
Claus
