Here is what your lyxprofile should look like:
************************************************
# Set up your home directory (in Cygwin syntax)
export HOME="//d/LyxDocs"
# Set up your Language (if you do not want English)
#export LANG=DE
# ========================================================
# Below this line you should not change anything if you're
# not familiar with configuration of an unix application!
# ========================================================
export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:$PATH"
export USER="`id -un`"
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export MAKE_MODE=unix
unset DOSDRIVE
unset DOSDIR
unset TMPDIR
unset TMP
for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
if [ -f $i ]; then
. $i
fi
done
cd "$HOME"
test -f ./.bashrc && . ./.bashrc
*****************************************************
and your runlyx.bat in your cygwin directory should look like:
*****************************************************
@echo off
:: START YOUR X-SERVER HERE
:: First change into its directory (The path should
:: be quoted if there is any space character in it!)
:: Then call the executable, i.e. xwin32 here!
:: ================================================
echo "Starting X-Win32 ..."
cd "F:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32"
start .\xwin32.exe
:: Change your geometry settings in the last line so
:: the LyX window will fit on your screen!
:: ================================================
cd F:\cygwin\bin
start .\lyxwin32.exe -geometry 900x800+100+5
*****************************************************
When you start lyx, this is the file that you run, not any other. It starts
your X server then Lyx.
Hope this helps,
Amer
