Hi everyone!
Ultimately I'm still trying to get the combination of memoir + noweb +
mathpartir + diagxy going, but I thought I'd start with the basics:
getting noweb as already supported by LyX going.
I have noweb installed and self-building. I have LyX 1.5.6 installed
under Mac OS X 10.5.5. I copied "listerrors.lyx" from the "examples"
directory buries in the LyX.app bundle to someplace I can get at it.
So far, so good.
I opened "listerrors.lyx" and attempted to preview it with pdflatex.
It turns out that there isn't a "NoWeb -> LaTeX (pdflatex)" converer
preconfigured in LyX 1.5.6. Luckily, fixing this was as easy as
selecting "NoWeb -> LaTeX (plain)," selecting "LaTeX (pdflatex)" in
the "To format:" drop-down, and clicking the "Add" button. With this,
previewing "listerrors.lyx" as PDF works like a charm, and is actually
very impressive, with its cross-referencing, indices, and external
links. Exactly what I'm looking for! I should try exporting to HTML
next...
Now for the build-script support. I scrupulously followed the
instructions in "Extended Features -> LyX Features needing Extra
Software -> Literate Programming -> Generating documents and code ->
Generating the code." That is, I created a script named "build-script"
as follows:
#!/bin/sh
#
notangle -Rbuild-script $1 | env NOWEB_SOURCE=$1 sh
I ensured that it's executable, and ensured that it is on my PATH. I
also added the "NoWeb -> Program" converter using "build-script $$i"
as the command and "parselog=listerrors" as the "Extra flags." But
when I select "Build Program" from the "Document" menu, I get nothing.
No alert, no results, nothing. Just to be super-sure, I exported
"listerrors.lyx" to NoWeb, which worked fine, and then ran "build-
script listerrors.nw" from my shell, which also worked perfectly: it
generated the "listerrors" script in the same directory as
"listerrors.lyx" (and "listerrors.nw," for that matter).
Does anyone know what the missing link from "Build Program" to "NoWeb -
> Program" to "build-script" could be?
Thanks!
Paul
