Re: How to make LyX work with Mac OS 13.1:solved
Hal, I use the python3 installed by the Homebrew package manager which will remind me during my (almost) daily upgrade if the XCode Command Line Tools are not installed to do the xcode-select, so I am used to that (without having to pay attention to Python). greetings, el On 14/12/2022 18:08, Hal Kierstead via lyx-users wrote: > > >> On Dec 14, 2022, at 8:55 AM, Dr Eberhard Lisse wrote: >> >> Hal, >> >> the command is >> >> sudo xcode-select --install >> >> you will then be asked for your password. >> >> It is a system wide installation of the command line tools (of XCode) >> and hence must be done as administrator (technically root). >> >> The complete XCode will of course also install python3 but is a few GB >> too much. >> >> el >> > El - > > Thanks.

Re: How to make LyX work with Mac OS 13.1:solved
Hal, the command is sudo xcode-select --install you will then be asked for your password. It is a system wide installation of the command line tools (of XCode) and hence must be done as administrator (technically root). The complete XCode will of course also install python3 but is a few GB too much. el On 14/12/2022 13:50, Hal Kierstead via lyx-users wrote: >> On Dec 13, 2022, at 5:38 PM, Scott Kostyshak wrote: >> >> On Tue, Dec 13, 2022 at 05:02:30PM -0700, Hal Kierstead via lyx-users wrote: >>> All - >>> >>> I just upgraded to Mac OS 13.1.

closing a named buffer?
Hi, I can easily close the current buffer with a command like (on the mac) LYXPIPE=$(find ~/Library/Application\ Support ~/.lyx \ -name .lyxpipe.in 2>/dev/null | head -1) echo "LYXCMD:P2:buffer-close" > "$LYXPIPE" Is it possible to close a named buffer even another was "active" using the LYXPIPE mechanism? Let's say the file names I am editing are a.lyx and b.lyx, and a.lyx is in front, how would I close b.lyx while keeping a.lyx in front/active?

I forgot to reply to the list. For some reason this failed to install xcode, but downloading it from the app store worked, and now my LyX is working.
