These patches constitute the difference between the official LyX 1.3.x release and Ruurd's Win32 port. You don't need to touch them. In fact, we should roll them back into the official LyX source. Your problem appears to be that the 'supporting software' that LyX uses isn't up to the task on your system. That's things like 'perl', 'python' and a 'shell environment'. Ruurd provides stripped down versions of these utilities; perhaps they are insufficient for your needs and you should get the real things instead. -- Angus
