Hello list,
I've got a few questions (simple ones I think, although I don't seem to be
able answer them myself) regarding LyX with cygwin and the cygwin XFree86
package:
There you go: I've set up LyX as described in Claus Hentschel's How-To on
www.lyx.org. Apart from some minor problems (mostly because it's a little
outdated and me not using X-Win32) LyX works now under cygwin with a
running XServer. There is the binary "lyxwin32.exe" in cygwin\bin which
starts up LyX fine, but it seems that some preferences and options
regarding environment and the like are not set.
The most serious problem is that LyX cannot export to DVI for example,
giving me the error message "Cannot export file - No Information for
exporting to DVI".
On the other hand, starting LyX from an xterm in cygwin's XFree86 seems
to work pretty well, I can export to DVI, pdf, PS, ASCII, etc very well
but this time, LyX uses the cygwin directory heirarchy, /home/ant that is,
instead of the LyX-directory I supplied in /etc/lyxprofile (c:\doc\lyx or
/cygwin/c/doc/lyx that is) which are two seperate directories. This is a
bit of an inconvenience, but quite clear in that context.
So my question is: Why wont LyX load a proper environment when started by
cygwin\bin\lyxwin32.exe? Or does the problem lie somewhere else? Or could I
solve this by telling LyX to use /cygwin/c/doc/lyx instead of /home/ant?
But how do I do so?
I would be very thankful for any pointers on that.
Thanks in advance,
regards
