Re: Beamer goto buttons and text hyperlinks

 I find this very interesting. If I understand correctly, it would work
 like this:
 
 When I go to insert  label, it inserts a button and everything works
 exactly as it does now, except that if I click on the hypertarget
 checkbox in the label settings dialog, the button is now a collapsable
 inset. And if there is a selection, insert  label can default to
 having the hypertarget checkbox checked and having that text put in
 the collapsable box. The current behavior when there is text selected
 is for the text to be deleted.

Yes, this kind of inset could be useful for many other tasks, I suppose.

 Would we also want to do this for the cross ref inset? It could work
 in a similar way: there is a checkbox for hyperlink. If checked, the
 inset becomes a collapsable inset. Note that in this case more is done
 if hyperlinkCB is checked: the hypertargets would be shown along with
 the labels, either in the same tree widget (perhaps we could give the
 hypertargets a prefix so that when grouped it's easy to navigate) or
 there could be a split tree widget, more clearly separating labels
 from hypertargets.
 
 Jürgen, do you still prefer to have the cross ref code copied over to
 the hyperref inset? My hesitation is that there would be a lot of
 duplicate code. Also, I think that the text hyperlinks have more in
 common with references than they do with hrefs to web, emails, and
 files. However, I think your argument is that overloading the cross
 ref dialog would make the user experience more complicated and there
 would be a larger chance of a regression for this important part of
 the code. This makes sense to me also.

I think both solutions make sense in a way. Just go with what you see fit.

Introducing myself to the community

[Daan Janssens]

Hello world!

Sorry for filling you're inbox with this, but I would like to introduce
myself properly, because I'm hoping for a long term relationship.

My name is Daan Janssens and I'm in my 4th year of university majoring
software engineering at the university of Antwerp, located in tiny Belgium.
I won't start summing up all courses that I took, because I guess it's
rather equivalent to any other first master year I guess. I do have 3 years
of extinsive c++ learning experience and I'm also up to date with the
majority of the new features of the c++11 standard.

Perhaps the thing worth mentioning is my bachelor thesis, which was a
project together with 4 other students, where we had to write increments on
an already existing program that simulated virtual leaves, namely, how
cells evolved in leafs. This was a project for the Biology department. And
however the topic doesn't seem to match to Lyx, but the technology used
did! We used Qt for GUI and threading, boost libraries and CMake, also GIT.
So I guess the experience I got out of this could be very useful now!

So what do I want to do as project?
I want to write a 'Fast and useful toolbar customization dialog'
For more information about the project, my motivation and driving force:
please read my draft proposal, which I uploaded already. I'm hoping to get
feedback on it soon, thanks in advance for reading it, cause I know it's
quite big, but I really spend a lot of work on it :)

If you got any question, feel free to ask.

kind regards,

Daan Janssens
PS: is there a way to contact mentors without filling everyone's mailbox
for every small question that I have, because irc seems quite dead to me.

Compiling LyX on Mac OS 10.7.5

[Elmar Hinz]

Hello,

before diving into coding I need to learn how to compile LyX.
The documentation for Mac is a little out-of-date, so I try to
find my own way.

I compiled Qt4 and LyX. The first build did break immediately upon start.
Currently I try to compile both with

export CPPFLAGS=-arch i386
export LDFLAGS=-arch i386

This will take some time. Any further suggestions required for a
contemporary Mac?

Regards

Elmar

Hi,

here is the command line I use (with cmake, out of source build) in a build 
directory (different from LyX main directory). It works with QT installed via 
the QT installer package (not from source):

cmake -DLYX_BUNDLE=ON -DLYX_COCOA=ON -DLYX_INSTALL=ON -DLYX_RELEASE=OFF 
-DLYX_DEBUG=ON PATH_TO_LYX_MAIN_DIRECTORY

and then

make LyX2.1 (to build the binary only)
or
make package (to get a mac bundle)

Best,
Benjamin

Can't compile lyx-outline

Hi all,

I was trying to compile the existing code for corkboard and outline view. I
followed instructions on this post:

I installed all programs as instructed (Qt 5.0.2, CMake, Bazaar), and when
I try to open that CMakeList.txt project, I have some problems:

1. There are a lot of CMakeList.txt in different directories within
document/cmake. There is one in the man folder and another in the doc
folder. And I found another one in the same directory as document folder.

2. Can't run cmake. Error messages:

Exporting the markup syntax is a different issue. I can think of a
couple ways to do it. The first, and most involved, would be to
write export routines, in the LyX source itself, similar to the
LyXHTML export routines. Another would be to write some kind of
simple converter that would convert some format LyX already
exports (perhaps the plaintext format?) to Markdown.


Hello Richard,

if I would like to transform LyXHTML to Markdown, I would need an XSL 
library or at least an XML parser.
Is there already something like this contained in the sources? If not, 
what is your suggestion to use?


The solution here is to rely upon an external parser, etc, being 
available, much as LyX relies upon LaTeX to be available. This can be 
checked for in the LyX (not autotools) configuration process.


The best thing would be if there is some python library that provides 
what you need. LyX already uses python pretty extensively.

Hmm. I'm not sure what I did there. I somehow managed to add an

If you want to implement this, you need to detect when an image is too
wide.. How do you plan to dot that ?

I was not planning on doing that. I was thinking that in many cases
the user knows when it is too large and would manually set this
option. There has been some very preliminary discussion (in the email
thread on the GSoC horizontal scrollbar project) of parsing the log
for specific overfull hboxes; but I do not think it makes sense to
automatically detect this and set \centerline without the user
knowing.

Usually we center images by centering the paragraph. This would then be 
another option that would confuse people, and I'm not overly 
enthusiastic about adding another option for a rare case that the user 
should try to avoid in the first place.

What do you mean ?

Checking whether a debug flag is valid and then setting that debug
flag both involve looping through all the debug flags. When initially
looking at this, the most natural thing seemed to me that there should
be only one loop. But I think this separation of validation and
processing is common in C++ and that I should learn to not worry about
looping twice instead of once. Especially for such a small vector,
this does not have any real performance issue.

Besides performance though it still seems to me that the code could be
more simple if there were just one loop. Is there a reason why it
would be bad in this case to have one loop and throw an exception if a
debug flag does not exist? Would it be reasonable to do a try/catch
around lyxerr.setLevel(Debug::value(arg)) and obviate the need for
Debug::isKnownValue(tmp) ?



I hate throwing exceptions. What is not simple about what I proposed ?

You shouldn't be worrying about performance in this kind of UI cases. It 
really doesn't care to do 40 checks compared to 20.  The same holds for 
the issue in another thread about disabling controls on every character 
entered. In that box you typically enter a few characters, so a few 
extra loops are really not an issue.. never.

I was not saying, you had not installed Qt (which you apparently did), but that

 I'm a very inexperienced programmer and this is the first time I use Qt. So

No problem, but since I do not own a MAC, I can't help enough.

I think it is a lot of translation work for messages that we actually

Yes. Although this is easy to translate, it refers to the variable position, 
which therefore
should not be translated.
But there are plenty of other messages like

Attempting to clone non-existent BufferParams!

I would say that this is not supposed to be understandable by the users,

  Hi Kornel and Alex,

 

  Thank you for your help. The thing is I think I have installed
 everything I

  5.0.2, which says that it will install both the libraries and the
 creator (

  http://qt-project.org/downloads = Qt 5.0.2 for Mac). I ran CMake (the

  first time it worked) but I couldn't compile the file (but I forgot the

  error message was). Then I closed and reopened and tried to run CMake and

  saw the error messages. I thought I missed some libraries, but I was

  confused because the libraries should be included in the package. I still

 still

  there.



 I was not saying, you had not installed Qt (which you apparently did), but
 that you did not install Qt-devel.

 (The name of this package may be different on MAC, on ubuntu it is e.g.
 libqt4-dev)



  I'm a very inexperienced programmer and this is the first time I use Qt.
 So

  please forgive me if I made some silly mistakes.



 No problem, but since I do not own a MAC, I can't help enough.

 Quick google for

 qt4 devel mac

 gives some answers though. (A candidate would be qt4-mac-devel, don't know)

Git Cloning Error

Hello

I'm having problem on cloning git through the command

git clone git://git.lyx.org/lyxas mentioned on

the error I get is this

$ git clone git://git.lyx.org/lyx
Cloning into 'lyx'...
error: Proxy CONNECT aborted while accessing https://git.lyx.org/lyx/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed

My college uses cyberoam as a filter to web.
Also, we work through a proxy:   http://172.16.73.12:3128

Hence, I tried adding this proxy to git as follows:
$ export http_proxy=http://172.16.73.12:3128
$ git config --global http.proxy $http_proxy

But still the same error remains.

Kindly help me with this issue.

 If you want to implement this, you need to detect when an image is too

 I was not planning on doing that. I was thinking that in many cases
 the user knows when it is too large and would manually set this
 option. There has been some very preliminary discussion (in the email

 for specific overfull hboxes; but I do not think it makes sense to
 automatically detect this and set \centerline without the user
 knowing.

 Usually we center images by centering the paragraph. This would then be
 another option that would confuse people, and I'm not overly enthusiastic
 about adding another option for a rare case that the user should try to
 avoid in the first place.

Makes sense. A module would be a solution if someone wanted this
built-in. Otherwise, I will forget about it.

 What do you mean ?

 Checking whether a debug flag is valid and then setting that debug
 flag both involve looping through all the debug flags. When initially
 looking at this, the most natural thing seemed to me that there should
 be only one loop. But I think this separation of validation and
 processing is common in C++ and that I should learn to not worry about
 looping twice instead of once. Especially for such a small vector,
 this does not have any real performance issue.

 Besides performance though it still seems to me that the code could be
 more simple if there were just one loop. Is there a reason why it
 would be bad in this case to have one loop and throw an exception if a
 debug flag does not exist? Would it be reasonable to do a try/catch
 around lyxerr.setLevel(Debug::value(arg)) and obviate the need for
 Debug::isKnownValue(tmp) ?


 I hate throwing exceptions.

Why? I have little experience with them so I don't know their
disadvantages. If you can point me to a discussion of their faults,
that would be great. I found some results by googling don't use
exceptions c++ but I thought that you might have something in mind
that's specific for this case. From what I remember, the authors of
the Professional C++ book are in love with exceptions. I have no
idea how highly/lowly regarded their opinions are.

What is not simple about what I proposed ?

simple wasn't the correct word. It is simple. It's just not what I
would have first imagined because it duplicates code. What if how we
loop through debug flags changes or there is a bug that is found in
one of the loops? The other loop doesn't automatically change. Again,
I'm not saying this is bad. I'm just trying to learn that this is not
bad so that next time I come across such a problem I will recognize
what the correct approach is.

 You shouldn't be worrying about performance in this kind of UI cases. It
 really doesn't care to do 40 checks compared to 20.  The same holds for the
 issue in another thread about disabling controls on every character entered.
 In that box you typically enter a few characters, so a few extra loops are
 really not an issue.. never.

I'm now convinced that performance is not an issue. I'm less convinced
that readability and maintainability are better than using exceptions.
I trust that you're right (and I see that what you're recommending
here is common in many other parts of the code). I'm just trying to
figure out why.

What do you think of the most recent patch I posted? I think I
implemented the important part of what you proposed.

I built and ran LyX (thanks for your fixes) and it does not need

As I wrote before, I do not know where the requirement for it came from.

Compiling LyX on Mac OS 10.7.5

[Elmar Hinz]

Hello,

before diving into coding I need to learn how to compile LyX.
The documentation for Mac is a little out-of-date, so I try to
find my own way.

I compiled Qt4 and LyX. The first build did break immediately upon start.
Currently I try to compile both with

export CPPFLAGS="-arch i386"
export LDFLAGS="-arch i386"

This will take some time. Any further suggestions required for a
contemporary Mac?

Regards

Elmar

Re: Compiling LyX on Mac OS 10.7.5

[Benjamin Piwowarski]

Hi,

here is the command line I use (with cmake, out of source build) in a build 
directory (different from LyX main directory). It works with QT installed via 
the QT installer package (not from source):

cmake -DLYX_BUNDLE=ON -DLYX_COCOA=ON -DLYX_INSTALL=ON -DLYX_RELEASE=OFF 
-DLYX_DEBUG=ON PATH_TO_LYX_MAIN_DIRECTORY

and then

make LyX2.1 (to build the binary only)
or
make package (to get a mac bundle)

Best,
Benjamin

Can't compile lyx-outline

[Ashley Shan]

Hi all,

I was trying to compile the existing code for corkboard and outline view. I
followed instructions on this post:
http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/06/25/lyx-outline02-1
I installed all programs as instructed (Qt 5.0.2, CMake, Bazaar), and when
I try to open that CMakeList.txt project, I have some problems:

1. There are a lot of CMakeList.txt in different directories within
document/cmake. There is one in the man folder and another in the doc
folder. And I found another one in the same directory as document folder.

2. Can't run cmake. Error messages:

CMake Error at development/cmake/modules/FindQt4.cmake:859 (message):

Qt libraries, includes, moc, uic or/and rcc NOT found!

Call Stack (most recent call first):

CMakeLists.txt:466 (find_package)

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

yeah! run cmake just in the base directory, this would link the rest. But you 
have also another problem, you doesn´t have all the dependencies you need try 
to figure out if you install the packages moc, uic or/and rcc !

Only the CMakeLists.txt in top-source directory the main cmake file used for 
compiling LyX.

This means, you have not the development packages for Qt installed.

Exporting the markup syntax is a different issue. I can think of a
couple ways to do it. The first, and most involved, would be to
write export routines, in the LyX source itself, similar to the
LyXHTML export routines. Another would be to write some kind of
simple converter that would convert some format LyX already
exports (perhaps the plaintext format?) to Markdown.


Hello Richard,

if I would like to transform LyXHTML to Markdown, I would need an XSL 
library or at least an XML parser.
Is there already something like this contained in the sources? If not, 
what is your suggestion to use?


The solution here is to rely upon an external parser, etc, being 
available, much as LyX relies upon LaTeX to be available. This can be 
checked for in the LyX (not autotools) configuration process.


The best thing would be if there is some python library that provides 
what you need. LyX already uses python pretty extensively.

 Audit all the LASSERT calls, and try to do something sensible at

 There are several places I was not sure what to do. These are marked

I'm getting an assertion now whenever I try to insert a table or

Hmm. I'm not sure what I did there. I somehow managed to add an 
assertion that wasn't previously there. That said, if you look at the 
code, it says: This is not supposed to happen. I'll fix it, but someone 
who understands this stuff should figure out whether there is a problem.

I built and ran LyX (thanks for your fixes) and it does not need

As I wrote before, I do not know where the requirement for it came from.
Could it be that one of the GNU(Win32) dependencies caused that?

Yes, that could be.

-DLYX_DEBUG=ON . # <= DOT, current dir

It is missing "libintl.h". Sie issue is mentioned here:

It tried to fix it with  "> brew install gettext" unforutnatly without

Any other workaround?

The option could be labelled one of the following:

It should be clear that this option is only used when the image is too wide.

If you want to implement this, you need to detect when an image is too
wide.. How do you plan to dot that ?

I was not planning on doing that. I was thinking that in many cases
the user knows when it is too large and would manually set this
option. There has been some very preliminary discussion (in the email
thread on the GSoC horizontal scrollbar project) of parsing the log
for specific overfull hboxes; but I do not think it makes sense to
automatically detect this and set \centerline without the user
knowing.

Usually we center images by centering the paragraph. This would then be 
another option that would confuse people, and I'm not overly 
enthusiastic about adding another option for a rare case that the user 
should try to avoid in the first place.

What do you mean ?

Checking whether a debug flag is valid and then setting that debug
flag both involve looping through all the debug flags. When initially
looking at this, the most natural thing seemed to me that there should
be only one loop. But I think this separation of validation and
processing is common in C++ and that I should learn to not worry about
looping twice instead of once. Especially for such a small vector,
this does not have any real performance issue.

Besides performance though it still seems to me that the code could be
more simple if there were just one loop. Is there a reason why it
would be bad in this case to have one loop and throw an exception if a
debug flag does not exist? Would it be reasonable to do a try/catch
around lyxerr.setLevel(Debug::value(arg)) and obviate the need for
Debug::isKnownValue(tmp) ?



I hate throwing exceptions. What is not simple about what I proposed ?

You shouldn't be worrying about performance in this kind of UI cases. It 
really doesn't care to do 40 checks compared to 20.  The same holds for 
the issue in another thread about disabling controls on every character 
entered. In that box you typically enter a few characters, so a few 
extra loops are really not an issue.. never.

Re: Re: Can't compile lyx-outline

[Ashley Shan]

Hi Kornel and Alex,

Thank you for your help. The thing is I think I have installed everything I
need but it still reports can't find library. So I first installed Qt
5.0.2, which says that it will install both the libraries and the creator (
http://qt-project.org/downloads => Qt 5.0.2 for Mac). I ran CMake (the
first time it worked) but I couldn't compile the file (but I forgot the
error message was). Then I closed and reopened and tried to run CMake and
saw the error messages. I thought I missed some libraries, but I was
confused because the libraries should be included in the package. I still
downloaded Qt 4.8.4 libraries and installed, and the error message is still
there.

I'm a very inexperienced programmer and this is the first time I use Qt. So
please forgive me if I made some silly mistakes.

I was not saying, you had not installed Qt (which you apparently did), but that 
you did not install Qt-devel.
(The name of this package may be different on MAC, on ubuntu it is e.g. 
libqt4-dev)

No problem, but since I do not own a MAC, I can't help enough.
Quick google for
qt4 devel mac
gives some answers though. (A candidate would be qt4-mac-devel, don't know)

Sure.
a.) You could use the lyx-provided libintl with
cmake ... -DLYX_EXTERNAL_LIBINTL=OFF ...

or prefered:
b.) Install the devel package for libc6 (on ubuntu libc6-dev)

Do you mean the "Invalid position" stuff? I made them translatable in 
case anyone wanted them to be---they do turn up in a dialog box---but it 
is easy enough to make them not translatable, if you think that is better.

Yes. Although this is easy to translate, it refers to the variable "position", 
which therefore
should not be translated.
But there are plenty of other messages like
...
Unable to find WorkArea for Buffer!
Attempting to clone non-existent BufferParams!
Cursor has no BufferView!
...

Do you mean the "Invalid position" stuff? I made them translatable in
case anyone wanted them to be---they do turn up in a dialog box---but it
is easy enough to make them not translatable, if you think that is better.


I would say that this is not supposed to be understandable by the users, 
but only by the developers. And we all know english.


We should spend our efforts in making sure that these messages do not 
appear in practice.

Hello,

IMHO there is no libc6 for mac. There is a

Anyway, That doesn't bring in the missing Info.plist.

I find a _debug* and a _profile* variant:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   475K 22 Mär  2012 /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   475K 12 Apr  2012
/usr/lib/libSystem.B_debug.dylib
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   475K 12 Apr  2012
/usr/lib/libSystem.B_profile.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel17B 22 Mär  2012 /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib ->

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel25B  2 Mär 13:51
/usr/lib/libSystem_profile.dylib -> libSystem.B_profile.dylib

However I am new with Mac OS and still can't explain how it handles the
stuff we know as libc6 and libc6-dev.
This gives start: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix3/mac/ch05_02.htm

For today I wanted to learn how to compile LyX and succeded largeley.

Next step is to bring in a patch to learn the workflow of the project.

There is. It should be created from Info.plist.in at configure time.
That file itself is in the build-directory.
(See main-CMakeLists.txt:308)

Hi Kornel,

I checked the installation log of my Qt 5.0.2, I searched for "moc", "uic",
and "rcc", and it seems I did have installed them:

I ran CMake again and it said uic, moc, and rcc not found. So I installed
Macports, installed qt4-mac (I tried to install qt4-mac-devel, but it said
"this port has been temporarily replaced by 'qt4-mac'; it will be updated
to 5.0 beta or a release candidate hopefully soon." So I typed in "sudo
port install qt4-mac" and it seemed to be installed. I ran QCreator and ran
CMake and it still said moc, uic and rcc not found. I'm so confused...

Git Cloning Error

[Abhishek Sharma]

Hello

I'm having problem on cloning git through the command

git clone git://git.lyx.org/lyxas mentioned on
the official site.

the error I get is this

$ git clone git://git.lyx.org/lyx
Cloning into 'lyx'...
error: Proxy CONNECT aborted while accessing https://git.lyx.org/lyx/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed

My college uses cyberoam as a filter to web.
Also, we work through a proxy:   http://172.16.73.12:3128

Hence, I tried adding this proxy to git as follows:
$ export http_proxy=http://172.16.73.12:3128
$ git config --global http.proxy $http_proxy

But still the same error remains.

Kindly help me with this issue.

Yours sincerely
Abhishek

Makes sense. A module would be a solution if someone wanted this
built-in. Otherwise, I will forget about it.

Why? I have little experience with them so I don't know their
disadvantages. If you can point me to a discussion of their faults,
that would be great. I found some results by googling "don't use
exceptions c++" but I thought that you might have something in mind
that's specific for this case. From what I remember, the authors of
the "Professional C++" book are in love with exceptions. I have no
idea how highly/lowly regarded their opinions are.

>What is not simple about what I proposed ?

"simple" wasn't the correct word. It is simple. It's just not what I
would have first imagined because it duplicates code. What if how we
loop through debug flags changes or there is a bug that is found in
one of the loops? The other loop doesn't automatically change. Again,
I'm not saying this is bad. I'm just trying to learn that this is not
bad so that next time I come across such a problem I will recognize
what the correct approach is.

I'm now convinced that performance is not an issue. I'm less convinced
that readability and maintainability are better than using exceptions.
I trust that you're right (and I see that what you're recommending
here is common in many other parts of the code). I'm just trying to
figure out why.

What do you think of the most recent patch I posted? I think I
implemented the important part of what you proposed.

Personally I think this would be useful. This happens quite often, and
having a GUI solution for this, built-in or module,  would be nice. If
you come up with a module it could be published on the wiki.
