ANNOUNCE: LyX 1.3.1 for Win32
Current release 1.3.1 now is available for Windows, too. Download as usual from http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm This release is based on XForms 1.0 and again compiled using the old gcc 2.95-10 'out-of-the-box'. Building Lyx using the current gcc 3.2 from Cygwin is not possible at the moment because XForms 1.0 can't be build using that compiler. Also building a Qt-based version of Lyx 1.3.1 was not possible due to some strange errors while linking. Claus

ANNOUNCE: Lyx 1.3.0 for Windows
A new compiler and the new Xforms 1.0 library ... a lot of work the past week ;-) But now it's done: the new release 1.3.0 using the new Xforms-1.0-based frontend now is available for Windows, too. Download as usual from http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm Hopefully I can release Lyx using a Qt3-based frontend (like that known from KDE on Linux) the next days. At the moment there seems to be only one problem: converting eps images for viewing inside the Lyx window doesn't work. Have fun! Claus

{ANNOUNCE] Lyx 1.2.0a for Win32
I've updated LyX 1.2.0 for Win32 (and named it 1.2.0a): - reconfiguration called from inside LyX now works correctly. - setting individual margins with A4 papersize now does work. (they were ignored in 1.2.0 before on all operating systems!) - if an image file does exist in different formats located in the same directory, LyX will not convert the image file. (this is the same behaviour as in LyX 1.1.6fix4) - lyxwin32.exe now does accept filenames as arguments. Therefore it is possible to dragdrop LyX files on to the desktop icon. The complete distribution file (ZIP format) as well as all updated packages (BZ2 format) are available as usual here: http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm Claus

Re: Document Classes Not Found
I installed Lyx 1.2.0 for Win32 on Cygwin/Xfree86. It can not find the document classes, all packages in Latex Configuration file are labeled Found: ???. Any idea? You have to reconfigure Lyx. But: Don't call Edit-Reconfigure from inside LyX. Instead open a bash window and enter /usr/local/share/lyx/configure Furthermore remove any LaTeXConfig.lyx file in your $HOME/.lyx directory tree. LyX will open that file instead of the global one, if present. Claus P.S: A new updated LyX 1.2.0a will be available tomorrow(!) where reconfiguration from inside LyX is working. Furthermore that release will support drapdrop of .lyx files as well as file association in Explorer.

Re: Running Lyx under Windows 98SE
The problem is that Lyxwin32.exe does not run, but lyx.exe does - however I get the error that it cannot find the x-server. I have set up the paths as suggested on Claus's website. Any ideas appreciated. (Lyx runs very well under Linux, but I sometimes have to use it under Windows.) I have upgraded from Cygwin 1.3.3 to 1.3.6, too and had the same problem. Some tests show that I have to change the wrapper program lyxwin32 a little bit, because beginning with cygwin 1.3.6 the bash called will no longer be invoked as a login shell by default. Passing a nother argument ( --login ) to the bash will do the trick. Anyway! I have released a new wrapper program on my web page http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm Download and install the tarball as described there and Lyx can be started as before!

Re: lyx unload problem
I notice in Windows Task Manager on my Win2K machine running the Cygwin version of lyx that lyx.exe, lyx32.exe, and bash.exe do not unload themselves from memory when lyx is closed. Sometimes I have to manually remove 10 or more copies by hand. Is there any cure for this? I've checked that, too on my system (Win2k). But all processes do terminate. As lyxwin32.exe is the parent for bash.exe and that for lyx.exe and so on, maybe there is any child process they are waiting for exiting. (What about your X-Server? Or any gs.exe process for inline viewing of images? Or any bibtex process waiting for a key input? ) Claus

Re: lyx install on a win 2000 machine
Although I am not a (Bib)TeX guru here are some questions and hints to check if your installation of MikTex/LyX is correct: When I try to export a PDF file I get one error box with a bunch of lines in it say something like Warning: Citation 'some citation' on page 4 undefined on input I don't understand why this is happening. I have my bst in the same director as my lyx file. The dir structures are essentially the same as on my Linux system where the lyx files were originall created. First of all I don't think it's a LyX problem but -- as mentioned in all responses -- a TeX problem due to any difference between UNIX and Win32/DOS. So far as I do know ( see above: I am not familiar with BibTex ;-) your citations are located in a bib file and a bst file is a style file which tells how to present your references. (Right?!). So have you tried to use any of the standard bst files (e.g. plain.bst) that come with MikTeX? If that works with pdftex (and it does on my Win2000/MikTeX-system) we definetly know that anything with your bst file is wrong in the MikTeX contents. On the other hand: Are you sure that your citations are complete? pdftex told that 'some citations' are undefinied. So the others seems to be available (if present). My bib files all are DOS files (CR/LF)! Have you tried to change your bib (not the bst) file to DOS? (In vi use ':set ff=dos' and then ':wq' to save your file). Maybe that can fix your problem. Claus

My bib files all are DOS files (CR/LF)! Have you tried to change your bib (not the bst) file to DOS? (In vi use ':set ff=dos' and then ':wq' to save your file). Maybe that can fix your problem. Claus
Re: lyx install on a win 2000 machine
Although I am not a (Bib)TeX guru here are some questions and hints to check if your installation of MikTex/LyX is correct: > When I try to export a PDF file I get one error box with a bunch of lines in > it say something like > > "Warning: Citation 'some citation' on page 4 undefined on input" > > I don't understand why this is happening. I have my bst in the same > director as my lyx file. The dir structures are essentially the same as on > my Linux system where the lyx files were originall created. First of all I don't think it's a LyX problem but -- as mentioned in all responses -- a TeX problem due to any difference between UNIX and Win32/DOS. So far as I do know ( see above: I am not familiar with BibTex ;-) your citations are located in a bib file and a bst file is a style file which tells how to present your references. (Right?!). So have you tried to use any of the standard bst files (e.g. plain.bst) that come with MikTeX?

Re: Printing problem.
I now have everything installed, but obviously not properly. When I click View/DVI I get the message: Can not view file: Error while execution windvi-paper us 'file.dvi' Windvi (SUPELEC 0.67.2) does open however, and displays the file beautifully. As described on the Lyx-Win32 web page, this error is duw to sh.exe which is called to execute any external program. As described at Cygnus sh.exe produces an internal error when forking. In the 'Problems' section you can find a way described how to fix it, i.e. how to use bash.exe instead of sh.exe. But when I try to print to paper the type is so big that only the upper left quarter of it fits on the page. This may be due to a wrong dpi setting for your printer and screen. Both dpi settings should be equal so far as i do know. Claus

Re: GSview 4.0
You do need TWO (2) versions of ghostscript. One (the AFPL version for Win32) for viewing/printing postscript files in Windows and one (gs4.03) to view images inside Lyx's X11 window!

Re: Trouble installing lyx
After successfully running lyx on Windows98 for over a year, I am now trying to install lyx on windows 2000. Unfortunately, I cannot get latex (Miktex) to run from lyx. Latex is never called, and no error messages appear. Miktex's dvi view, yap is called successfully, although it is not able to open the garbage dvi file that appears in the lyx temp directory. The path variables check out, as latex runs from the dos prompt. I tried reinstalling lyx, but that wasn't successful. Any suggestions? It seems that you have installed Cygwin's tetex package (which is not configured and therefore not usable). So any DOS program will find latex.exe from the MikTex package but any Cygwin program (like Lyx) will find /usr/bin/latex.exe because all internal pathes in Cygwin are in front of $PATH! So uninstall the tetex package this way: 1. Open Setup.exe in X:\CygInstall 2. Select 'Install from Local Directory' 3. In the package list press the 'Full/Part' button 4. Locate the tetex package line 5. In the 'New' column select 'Uninstall' using your mouse 6. Go on until Setup has finished. Claus

Most X-Servers automatically serve the default IP address of your system. 127.0.0.1 (or localhost, i.e. the corresponding net name) is only valifd if you do have a DUN on your system. 2. If you have installed a firewall on your system (like me) than you have to create a new rule so that LyX can connect to the X-server.

LyX and Xfree 4.1 on Win32
Due to an increasing number of mails concerning problems using LyX together with XFree 4.1 on Win32 I have checked this configuration myself. First of all: Using XFree needs much more time to configure (at the moment hopefully) than just installing and uing Starnet's XWin32 nearly out-of-the-box. Using the current releases of Xfree on Win2000 SR2 and this batch file to start LyX: cut here @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET PATH=.;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%PATH% SET HOME=d:\MyHomeDirectory SET LANG=DE rem cleanup after last run attrib -s \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 rmdir \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x32 -engine 4 start /B lyx.exe -geometry 800x700+100+5 start /B twm exit cut here opens LyX inside the Xfree window. As display manager I have choosen the standard twm which is part of Xfree itself. Because I didn't spend too much time to test this configuration my keyboard layout was not correct. But I have read about a location to pick localized keyboard layout files on Xfree's web site. So hopefully the keyboard could be configured correctly as well ;-) Now the PROBLEMS with this configuration (Because I have used Lyx before there exists a preference file in $HOME/.lyx on my system!!! All who have installed Lyx/Xfree for the first time: please look below at MAIN PROBLEM): 1) Opening any existing LyX file no text is visible. Solution: I had to disable 'scalable fonts' in Edit-Preferences inside LyX to view the text of my documents. After that LyX behaved as if using Xwin32 instead. 2) If any error box come up Xfree seems to be frozen (the cursor has been gone). Waiting 60-90 seconds brings back the cursor and work can be continued. (That's indeed no solution ;-) The MAIN PROBLEM arrised when exiting LyX/Xfree and restarting both. Due to the change I have made in Edit-Preferences LyX has created a file $HOME/.lyx/preferences.xform which only has COLOR settings as follows: \gui_background 0 0 0 ... \gui_text 0 0 0 So all colors are set to black (RGB setting 0 0 0)!? This will be default, too when installing XFree/LyX for the first time! Now nothing can be seen on the screen but a big black hole as the LyX window. Obviously LyX isn't able to determine the color values from Xfree. This seems to be a bug in Xfree or a bug in Xforms (we have to use Xforms 0.89 although Lyx on Unix is based on 0.88).

LyX and Xfree 4.1 on Win32
Due to an increasing number of mails concerning problems using LyX together with XFree 4.1 on Win32 I have checked this configuration myself. First of all: Using XFree needs much more time to configure (at the moment hopefully) than just installing and uing Starnet's XWin32 nearly out-of-the-box. Using the current releases of Xfree on Win2000 SR2 and this batch file to start LyX: cut here @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET PATH=.;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%PATH% SET HOME=d:\MyHomeDirectory SET LANG=DE rem cleanup after last run attrib -s \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 rmdir \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x32 -engine 4 start /B lyx.exe -geometry 800x700+100+5 start /B twm exit cut here opens LyX inside the Xfree window. As display manager I have choosen the standard twm which is part of Xfree itself. Because I didn't spend too much time to test this configuration my keyboard layout was not correct. But I have read about a location to pick localized keyboard layout files on Xfree's web site. So hopefully the keyboard could be configured correctly as well ;-) Now the PROBLEMS with this configuration (Because I have used Lyx before there exists a preference file in $HOME/.lyx on my system!!! All who have installed Lyx/Xfree for the first time: please look below at MAIN PROBLEM): 1) Opening any existing LyX file no text is visible. Solution: I had to disable 'scalable fonts' in Edit-Preferences inside LyX to view the text of my documents. After that LyX behaved as if using Xwin32 instead. 2) If any error box come up Xfree seems to be frozen (the cursor has been gone). Waiting 60-90 seconds brings back the cursor and work can be continued. (That's indeed no solution ;-) The MAIN PROBLEM arrised when exiting LyX/Xfree and restarting both. Due to the change I have made in Edit-Preferences LyX has created a file $HOME/.lyx/preferences.xform which only has COLOR settings as follows: \gui_background 0 0 0 ... \gui_text 0 0 0 So all colors are set to black (RGB setting 0 0 0)!? This will be default, too when installing XFree/LyX for the first time! Now nothing can be seen on the screen but a big black hole as the LyX window. Obviously LyX isn't able to determine the color values from Xfree. This seems to be a bug in Xfree or a bug in Xforms (we have to use Xforms 0.89 although Lyx on Unix is based on 0.88).

Re: unknown textclass scrbook
How does MikTex work(?): While installing MikTeX you have to decide where the default tree of all (Mik)TeX files will be placed. By default this is 'C:\Program Files\MikTeX\texmf'. BTW: I do recommend to install MikTeX into C:\MikTeX instead of 'C:\Program Files\MikTeX' because that path does not include a space character! (Some programs can't handle a PATH with space characters included.) I will use this PATH in the following short description. The second thing you have to decide is where all local files could be found by MikTeX, i.e. files which are not part of MikTex itself like any specific style file. By default those files have to be placed in a directory called 'localtexmf' which lives beside the directory 'texmf'. Therefore you should use 'C:\MikTeX\localtexmf' to install your personally needed latex files! If you want to install any latex style file or package, then do the following: 1. Ensure that the directory tree C:\MikTeX\localtexmf\tex\latex does exist 2. Download the package from any CTAN server like www.dante.de (If you append a suffix .zip to the directory name in your browser, than the CTAN server will send you the complete directory as a zip file ;-) 3. Extract that zip file into C:\MikTeX\tex\latex (a new pacage directory will be created) 4. Check if any file with suffix '.ins' is available (the install file) If not, there should be any .sty-file and you can step to (6) 5. Open a command prompt and change into that directory. Call latex yourPackageName.ins. Watch the screen output. You may have to call this again until you're told all was done correcrtly. Exit your command shell.. 6. Call StartMenu-Programs-Miktex2.1-MikTexOptions and press the 'Refresh Now'-Button to referesh the filename database 7. You need to backup only the localtexmf directory tree!! That's what you have installed and what will not be available if you have to re-install MikTex (or your system) If you do follow these hints you will never touch/change any MikTeX installed file. Therefore you can remove and re-install or upgrade/update MikTex at any time. After you've restored your localtexmf tree and do what's described in (6) MikTeX (and LyX ;-) behaves as before! Claus
How to change a paragraph's background color
I want to change the background color of some pargraphs (of type 'Quote' but
this should be of no interest IMHO) into light gray. My preamble does
include this:
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{lightgray}[rgb}0.75,0.75,0.75}
If I do include (in red) \color{lightgray} at the beginning of my Quote
paragraph the text in the complete environment will become lightgray. But I
do want to change the background color, instead! I don't have found any
variable in color.sty like \background or similar to change the background
color in a similar way.
Using a colorbox, i.e. (completely in tred, too)
\colorbox{lightgray}{here is may text which goes over many lines}
will set the background color, BUT the complete text goes into one line
(which of course can't be read off the page).
So is there any latex trick to fix that problem?
Thanks in advance

How to change the font for 'typesetting' family
Using the default typesetting font some characters like '' were
interpreted as a single character and will be shown as a black square in any
viewer!
I have succesfully changed the font used in algorithm floats as follows in
the LyX preamble:
\newcommand{\algjlst}[1]{%
\lstinputlisting[stringspaces=false,frame={},tabsize=3,
lineskip=-1pt,extendedchars=true,
basicstyle=\fontfamily{pcr}\fontseries{m}\selectfont\footnotesize,
labelstep=1,labelstyle=\tiny,indent=2em,language=Java,
breaklines]{#1}\vspace{1ex}%
}
With this preamble all characters are presented correctly in any algorithm
environment. But any typesetting characters used in any standard environment
(by just changing the font family inside LyX) still will present those black
squares.
How can I change the default typesetting font to the font used above??

Re: LyX on a CD
As I am responsible for the Win32-Releases I have followed the whole topic and this is my comment: At the moment, because LyX is NOT a Win32 native application you do need any available X-Server. Xfree IMHO is not ready to be used by all users because many things have to be configured manually depending on the color depth your screen is using etc.! As fas as I can see most users prefer to use the commercial XWin32-server because it's stable and can be installed as a native Win32-application! On the other side LyX as an Unix application needs access to Unix tools! There still are bugs in CygWin and therefore newer releases will become public! It is necessary to paticipate on these releases inside LyX so the best way is to use the most current releases of CygWin for LyX! (Should anyone prepare CD-ROM-Images each two weeks???) The other problem are tools necessary to run LyX, say Ghostscript (oe for Win32 to print and one for Cygwin to view images inside LyX). Only the latest release is free according to the GPL. Same as above: Should anyone prepare And don't forget: Who has enough Web-space available to store say 400MB (Including fpTeX, CygWin, Ghostscript any free XServer, TkPaint, JFig etc.) as an ISO-image??? Our (Ruurds and me) goal was to separate LyX from all dependending tools so each package can be installed without (hopefully) any need to instal the complete stuff again! So my question (as mentioned on my Lyx/Win32 web-page): What's bad with the current installation procedure for LyX on Win32? You do have a native Win32-setup.exe for LyX itself as well as for useful packages (which not all users are using)! And a complete Setup will take say less than 2 hours if you do have a 56kbit-Modem!

I had no problems inserting the bibtex references and citations, and my .bib file is in the same directory as my .lyx file.
