I would like to point out that the major push for this release was
to get some feedback about new Docbook output format we provide.

If anyone with related expertise could give it a try and provide
us the feedback that would be approeciated...

Probably best here to (i) file an enhancement request at the bug tracker
<https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome> and (ii) send a version
of this message to lyx-devel. That'll get it maximal exposure.

I’ve been looking at the new table features (xltabular, tabularx…) and I
love the improvements.

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum for feature enhancements to v2.4,
but I’d love a pair of “suppress column space beforeafter” tickboxes that
put “@{}” before/after the column specifier.

For example, if I have a table with several columns, one of which is a
“Variable” width column, and then use the “LaTeX argument” field to
override the definition, this triggers LyX into thinking you no longer want
the X (“Variable”) type column any more, and instead of a “tabularx” table
you get a “tabular” (which has no concept of an X column).

Looks like the same thing happens on multi-page tables too :-(

I suppose a more general solution might be to have text fields where you
can put in whatever “@{}”-style overrides you like without interfering with
LyX’s column specifier.

Both source code and binaries for Windows and OSX can be found here:

Can confirm: it compiles and runs fine (during my very limited tests) on

BTW if you are using Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS I created a 
copr repository:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jamatos/lyx-devel/ 

There is just one package in that repository: lyx-devel. The package is 
parallel installable with the stable version and it does not change, neither 
uses any of the stable settings. That means that it is safe to use and 
uninstall that it will not mess with the current stable 2.3.5.2.

Beware that if you save a document with lyx-devel the stable version will not 
be able to read it (yet). On the other hand you can have a look of what is 
coming next in LyX without risking any work and helping to stabilize the next 
version.

This applies as well, all feedback is welcome either here or on the lyx-devel 
mailing list.

Would it be possible to set it up seperately, while keeping the current 
stable LyX 2.3.5.2. Particularly Windows.


I know I have several installations of LyX on my PC and I did not have

nice...

i guess this solves an issue with the old installer not being able to

that's where the problem was)



with the normal installers (230 and 2351) LyX would just always crash on

Yeah this happens on any software which is not known to Windows (from what
the web says
).
Programs, which not many users use (however Microsoft gets that data) are
considered insecure, this prompt will stop showing up eventually when
enough users run the installer. It will also not appear when you want to
run it a second time after you clicked on "run anyway" on previous
execution. FYI I just downloaded the official installer and got this prompt
when trying to run it for the first time.

> Also, when starting the installer, it complained that LyX was already
open, even though it was just a development version. I suppose that this
check should be performed much later, i.e. just when actually starting the
installation: is the LyX version installed in that folder already started?

Ok, your feedback has reached me, I will see what I can do there.

Testing form landscape

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

it's obviously a LaTeX question, but clicking landscape in a document
results in this:

\documentclass[landscape]{scrartcl}

How can I test in the Preamble whether landscape is being used so that I
can sue a different font and fontsize?

Any idea?

mfg, el

Testing of the 2.2.x Branch (esp Slowness)

[Richard Heck]

We (specifically, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes) have recently made some changes
to the text rendering algorithms in LyX. We would appreciate it if those
who are able could compile and use the 2.2.x branch of the git
repository, so that these changes can receive sufficient testing before
we schedule the release of LyX 2.2.3.

For those on Linux, this should not be terribly difficult. You will need
to install some headers libraries, e.g., zlib-devel and especially
qt-devel (naming may vary on various distros), as well as the usual
compilation tools (automake, make, gcc). You will also need to install
git to be able to check out the repo. But the compilation procedure is
otherwise fairly straightforward.

Do this, from whatever directory you choose (in which you have write
privileges):

> git clone git://git.lyx.org/lyx/
> cd lyx
> git checkout 2.2.x

You have now checked out the 2.2.x branch, which is what will become
2.2.3. Have a look, if you wish, at the INSTALL file for some
information about what else you may need to do. Compiling is then the
usual three-step:

> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --enable-build-type=rel

This flag gives you a "release version" rather than a "development
version", which is what 2.2.3 would actually be.

> ./configure --help

if you want more information on other options. It is, for example,
possible to install LyX to a location other than the default, which is
/usr/local/, and which will normally require root privileges.

You may find that configuation fails. This will usually be due to your
not having all the dependencies installed. The configuation script is
usually pretty good at telling you what you need. If you have problems,
then please respond to this email, and we'll help.

> make
> sudo make install

You can add an option "-j N" to the first command make to speed things
up. This tells make to compile N files simultaneously. Roughly speaking,
you can set N to the number of cores you have (or even a few more).

Could you contact the Debian packager about this? I think they need to

Just upgraded to 2.2.0 on debian testing

[David L. Johnson]

Debian testing just included the upgrade to lyx 2.2.0.  I want to point 
out one thing:  If you don't see menu icons, you need to add the svg 
versions of the qt library (it may still be linked with qt-4.??, but 
looking for the svg libraries with apt-cache search found what I needed).


I have yet to check it all out, but I am absolutely floored by the 
scrolling ability in math eqnarray finally.  As one who never can keep 
the line length in check during the writing process, it is a blessing to 
be able to see the whole line.  Formerly I have had to either set the 
font really, really small or (more recently) stretch the window over two 
monitors.  This is a great advance; thanks to all who developed it.


I have yet to see what has changed with the beamer layout.  I hope it is 
not too much of a PITA to change old files to the new layout, since I 
have classes on Tuesday that I need it for.  I will find that out 
tomorrow

Solution for the PDF viewing problems with Acrobat DC and request for testing

[Uwe Stöhr]

Dear LyXers,

as you might have noticed, it is not possible to view and update the 
view of PDF files with LyX 2.1.3 if you use Acrobat Reader DC as viewer 
for PDF files.


The solution it to replace the file pdfview.exe on your PC (in the same 
folder as the lyx.exe) with this one:


http://ftp.lyx.de/LyX%202.1.3/pdfview.exe

Viewing and also updating the view is then done via LyX's view button 
(the update button won't do anything visible).


Please test and report back if it works for you.
If it doesn't work, please write what version of Acrobat you are using 
and what Windows. Please also write the name of the Acrobat program 
window when a PDF is opened (e.g. Hello.pdf - Adobe Acrobat DC Pro).


many thanks and regards
Uwe

No problem. I'll happily update it's contents to reflect your
findings on this matter. For LyX 2.1.X e.g. the gettext requirement
doesn't exist anymore. The Qt version for production is 4.8.5.
For development I've tried 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 too. 
Version 5.2 definitively doesn't work - the menu is missing
almost completely. On current Mac systems Qt-Carbon isn't
available anymore.

I'm using the script development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh.
Something like that (note the back slashes):

ARCH=x86_64
Qt4Version=4.8.5
Qt4API=-cocoa
LyXVersion=lyx-2.1.0beta2
QtConfigureOptions=-debug-and-release Qt4API=${Qt4API} 
Qt4Version=${Qt4Version} \
 sh ${LyXVersion}/development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh \
   --with-sdkroot=10.8 --with-macosx-target=10.6 --with-arch=${ARCH} \
   --with-qt4-dir=$HOME/lyx-build/qt-${Qt4Version}-frameworks${Qt4API}-${ARCH}

It has been suggested that someone produce a homebrew recipe that would 
allow more
ordinary users to compile and test the most recent versions, or even 
develop some
system that would produce nightly, or perhaps weekly, builds. It would 
be best if this
could be done for both trunk (2.1.dev) and branch (2.0.8dev, as things 
stand). Those
of us on Linux can do this fairly easily, of course, but it's harder for 
people on OSX
(or, God forbid, Windows). I confess that the one time I tried to 
compile LyX on OSX

I failed and gave up.

No problem. I'll happily update it's contents to reflect your
findings on this matter. For LyX 2.1.X e.g. the gettext requirement
doesn't exist anymore. The Qt version for production is 4.8.5.
For development I've tried 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 too. 
Version 5.2 definitively doesn't work - the menu is missing
almost completely. On current Mac systems Qt-Carbon isn't
available anymore.

I'm using the script development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh.
Something like that (note the back slashes):

ARCH=x86_64
Qt4Version=4.8.5
Qt4API=-cocoa
LyXVersion=lyx-2.1.0beta2
QtConfigureOptions=-debug-and-release Qt4API=${Qt4API} 
Qt4Version=${Qt4Version} \
 sh ${LyXVersion}/development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh \
   --with-sdkroot=10.8 --with-macosx-target=10.6 --with-arch=${ARCH} \
   --with-qt4-dir=$HOME/lyx-build/qt-${Qt4Version}-frameworks${Qt4API}-${ARCH}

It has been suggested that someone produce a homebrew recipe that would 
allow more
ordinary users to compile and test the most recent versions, or even 
develop some
system that would produce nightly, or perhaps weekly, builds. It would 
be best if this
could be done for both trunk (2.1.dev) and branch (2.0.8dev, as things 
stand). Those
of us on Linux can do this fairly easily, of course, but it's harder for 
people on OSX
(or, God forbid, Windows). I confess that the one time I tried to 
compile LyX on OSX

I failed and gave up.

I am using this to the devel lits as this does not (yet?) concern a

Looking into this, I am wondering: what are the settings to create the
LyX binary for Mac? I could not find a hotwo on how to compile on mac?

This together with an update function from within LyX would work as well -
but the update from within LyX would be important  as otherwise one has to
manually visit the website and download to update.

This together with an update function from within LyX would work as well -

I'll ask on the homebrew list if there would somebody be interested in

 I use the 2.0.x branch, on Linux, for all my work, so I always
 have the latest updates, and the latest bugs, too ;-) Lots of
 Linux people do this, and so we always have a very up-to-date
 picture of how things are there. As a result, there are rarely
 surprise bugs on Linux. If you can compile, then it is actually
 very easy. Check out the 2.0.x branch via git, then compile it
 manually or set up a cron job to keep it up to date, if you really
 want to be hi-tech.
 
 As Scott said, we will release an updated version shortly. There's 
 a fix for this issue already in branch, if you want to check that 
 out, though it apparently causes other problems. For now, you may 
 want to go back to 2.0.6.

testing compiled lyx 2.0.6

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I have compiled lyx 2.0.6 according to

1) ./configure
   configures LyX according to your system. 

2) make
   compiles the program.

3) src/lyx
   runs the program so you can check it out.

while doing this, I get:

LyX: Done!
Warning: Could not read configuration file

Error while reading the configuration file
preferences.
Please check your installation.

and LyX is not showing up.

Does somebody know what I should check in the installation?

not yet done:
4) make install
   will install it. 

Thanks,

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

it's not a good idea to build in source tree.

You should make a separate build directory to build LyX. Like that:

$ mkdir lyxhome
$ cd lyxhome
$ tar xfz ${download_dir}/lyx-2.0.6.tar.gz
$ mkdir lyx-build
$ cd lyx-build
$ ../lyx-2.0.6/configure
$ make
$ src/lyx

Thats what I did !

I used in my home 
/lyx-2.0.6
and compiled there.

But as in my last mail the issue is solved now, after removing the .lyx

  $ make
  $ src/lyx
  
 Thats what I did !
  
 I used in my home 
 /lyx-2.0.6
 and compiled there.

Ok, I thought you used the source tree because of the ./configure step 
in your previous mail. 

 But as in my last mail the issue is solved now, after removing the .lyx 
 folder.

Yes, that's fine. But this should only be a problem if the contents of this 
folder was written by LyX 2.1.

 Hi Wolfgang,
 
 it's not a good idea to build in source tree.
 
 You should make a separate build directory to build LyX. Like that:
 
 $ mkdir lyxhome
 $ cd lyxhome
 $ tar xfz ${download_dir}/lyx-2.0.6.tar.gz
 $ mkdir lyx-build
 $ cd lyx-build
 $ ../lyx-2.0.6/configure

Hi Stephan,

Why is what you did above any better than ./configure; make; make
install from lyxhome itself? I didn't even know the separate build
directory could be done. Do you recommend the separate build directory
for compiling all programs where you need
to ./configure;make;make_install?

Once upon a time I built LyX in such a way that make distclean and make
clean didn't take out ghosts of compiles past, and I had to rm -rf and
tar again:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg62008.html
Could doing it your way, with a separate build directory, avoid that
problem? Is that why you're recommending it?

Thanks,

SteveT

I would recommend building out of source tree any package. Package which 
do not support this are buggy IMO. In theory, you can set your source 
directory tree to read-only and still compile.


The advantage is that starting from scratch is trivial. This is even 
more important when compiling from a git check out, where you do not 
want old file to cause problems. In this case a rm -rf * (or the 
windows equivalent that I forgot (deltree?)), will start over cleanly.

Yes, this is the reason. Sometimes it doesn't help to avoid the modification
of the source tree completely. It happens the .po files need a rebuild and this
is only possible in-place in the source tree.

testing compiled lyx 2.0.6

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I have compiled lyx 2.0.6 according to

1) ./configure
   configures LyX according to your system. 

2) make
   compiles the program.

3) src/lyx
   runs the program so you can check it out.

while doing this, I get:

LyX: Done!
Warning: Could not read configuration file

Error while reading the configuration file
preferences.
Please check your installation.

and LyX is not showing up.

Does somebody know what I should check in the installation?

not yet done:
4) make install
   will install it. 

Thanks,

Wolfgang
