Re: Help with lyx for windows

Here is what your lyxprofile should look like:


# Set up your home directory (in Cygwin syntax)
export HOME=//d/LyxDocs

# Set up your Language (if you do not want English)
#export LANG=DE

# 
# Below this line you should not change anything if you're
# not familiar with configuration of an unix application!
# 
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:$PATH
export USER=`id -un`
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export MAKE_MODE=unix

unset DOSDRIVE
unset DOSDIR
unset TMPDIR
unset TMP

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
  if [ -f $i ]; then
. $i
  fi
done

cd $HOME

test -f ./.bashrc  . ./.bashrc
*
and your runlyx.bat in your cygwin directory should look like:

*
@echo off
:: START YOUR X-SERVER HERE

:: First change into its directory (The path should
:: be quoted if there is any space character in it!)
:: Then call the executable, i.e. xwin32 here!
:: 
echo Starting X-Win32 ...
cd F:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32
start .\xwin32.exe

:: Change your geometry settings in the last line so
:: the LyX window will fit on your screen!
:: 
cd F:\cygwin\bin
start .\lyxwin32.exe -geometry 900x800+100+5
*
When you start lyx, this is the file that you run, not any other.  It starts
your X server then Lyx.
Hope this helps,
Amer

 Hi,
 This is my second mail on topic, but I don't know how to solve my problem
 in other ways.

 I've installed lyx for windows (1.1.6 fixc) in this environment:

 - Pc Laptop Pentium III (Acer 524TE)
 - Windows Millenium Edition
 - cygwin
 - X-win32 or Exceed
 - MikTex

 When I try to start lyx it says: Unable to access X display - exiting

 Someone told me to modify the DISPLAY variable in the file /etc/lyxprofile
 in order to change the value localhost to the true IP address of my
 machine, but nothing seems to change.

 I have no firewall or other protections.

 Someone could help me ???
 Thanks a lot

Re: Directory does not exist?

This is what happens, the GUI crashes.  When I use an alternative language,
it tells me that the directory does not exist.  When I try to use it anyway,
it crashes.

Ispell still not working

Hello,
I installed Lyx and ispell does not work even if I choose another

Another issue is that import latex does not seem to work either.

Ispell Problem

2001-07-12 Thread Amer Abufadel

Hello all,
I have just finished installing Lyx on a win2k machine running Cygwin.
When I want to spell check the document, the GUI freezes and it tells me
that the spell checker has died and that I should install a dictionary.  I
am using American/English.  I thought the dictionaries for these languages
are installed by default and in fact I am able to see the hash files.  In
the spell checker settings, I have use the document's default language
dictionary which is English.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your time and help.
