Re: LyX Server on XP?

[Ken]

There have been some edits to the wiki at the bottom of the page which
are very good.  But perhaps some of the rest of the page needs a bit
of reworking.

Some general comments:
(1) Using LyXServer On Windows is at the bottom of the page whereas
using it in UNIX or OS/2 is at the top.
(2) In between are some technical details on writing code to work with
the LyXServer.
(3) A newbie to the LyXServer may only be interested in (a) what does
it do, (b) how do I set it up, and (c) how do I push referencs from
JabRef to LyX.  So perhaps the UNIX, OS/2 and Windows instructions
should probably be grouped close to each other at the top, with usage
guidelines below, and technical details to follow at the end or in a
separate page.

Those are just some of my thoughts but I don't think I know enough of
the details to do the editing myself.

Best,
Ken

That was 100% correct!

Also, It seems

1,After changing the named pipe in Lyx, I need to restart Lyx to let it 
use the named pipe correctly.
2,I need to firstly add the Bib database from 
Menu-insert-List/Toc-BibTex bibliography.

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for that.  LyX launched without an error message. The only problem is
that I do not understand what the reference \\.\pipe\lyxpipe means and I do
not know where in my filesystem I should look for the lyxpipe.  Where might it
be located?

I work on Windows XP pro with the last version 1.6.5 from the alt installer.

Here what I did :

There's a button to configure the lyx server

Re: LyX Server on XP?

[Ken]

That is excellent. It works perfectly! And I love being able to push the
citations from JabRef to LyX now!

Some comments:
(1) The wiki probably needs updating with this information.

(2) In the Additional Features document they write:
These are usually located in UserDir and have the names “lyxpipe.in” and
“lyxpipe.out”
with footnote: On Windows, local named pipes are special objects located in
\\.\pipe

I did not see this footnote on first pass and assumed that lyxpipes were
regular files (esp. when I read that on Linux it looks like a regular
directory with /home/myhome/lyxpipe). This is the first time I have come
across pipes so it was quite a new concept to me.  Perhaps the wiki could

 I work on Windows XP pro with the last version 1.6.5 from the alt
 installer.

 Here what I did :
 ToolsPreferencesDirectories
 Lyxserver :
 \\.\pipe\lyxserver
 In JabRef :
 OptionsPreferences
 There's a button to configure the lyx server
 I put
 \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.in

 The \\.\pipe\lyxpipe is a notation in Windows to use a named pipe, so I
 don't think there's really a directory attached to this object.

 Now, I can use the Lyx button of JabRef to automatically insert a reference
 into my Lyx document.

 Hope it helps.

Named pipes in Windows

In Windows, the design of named pipes is based towards client-server
communication, and they work much like sockets, other than the usual
read and write operations. Windows named pipes also support an
explicit passive mode for server applications (compare: Unix domain
sockets). Windows 95 supports named pipe clients, Windows NT based
systems can also be servers.

The named pipe can be accessed much like a file. Win32 SDK functions
such as CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile and CloseHandle can be used to
open, read from, write to, and close a pipe. There is no command line
interface like Unix.

Named pipes aren't permanent and can't be created as special files on
any writable filesystem, unlike in Unix, but are volatile names (freed
after the last reference to them is closed) allocated in the root
directory of the named pipe filesystem (NPFS), mounted under the
special path \\.\pipe\ (that is, a pipe named foo would have a full
path name of \\.\pipe\foo). Anonymous pipes used in pipelining are
actually named pipes with a random name.

They are very rarely seen by users, but there are notable exceptions.
The VMware Workstation PC hardware virtualization tool, for instance,
can expose emulated serial ports to the host system as named pipes,
and the WinDbg kernel mode debugger from Microsoft supports named
pipes as a transport for debugging sessions (in fact, VMware and
WinDbg can be coupled together - since WinDbg normally requires a
serial connection to the target computer - letting driver developers
do their development and testing on a single computer). Both programs
require the user to enter names in the \\.\pipe\name form.

 That is excellent. It works perfectly! And I love being able to push the 
 citations from JabRef to LyX now!

 Some comments:
 (1) The wiki probably needs updating with this information.

 (2) In the Additional Features document they write:
 These are usually located in UserDir and have the names “lyxpipe.in” and 
 “lyxpipe.out”
 with footnote: On Windows, local named pipes are special objects located in 
 \\.\pipe

 I did not see this footnote on first pass and assumed that lyxpipes were 
 regular files (esp. when I read that on Linux it looks like a regular 
 directory with /home/myhome/lyxpipe). This is the first time I have come 
 across pipes so it was quite a new concept to me.  Perhaps the wiki could 
 make this a bit clearer and explain what is going on as it is not hard to set

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for that.  LyX launched without an error message. The only problem is
that I do not understand what the reference \\.\pipe\lyxpipe means and I do
not know where in my filesystem I should look for the lyxpipe.  Where might it
be located?

Thanks,
