Re: Portable LyX & PortableApps

[Matthias Schmidt]

Some days before I gave a request for a portable Lyx to the
request-forum of portableapps.com. Today came an answer: there is
someone, who would build a portable lyx!

Have a look at http://portableapps.com/node/27981. He closes his
considerations with: "I've started putting together the LyX Launcher,
but I thought I'd post my research, to see if anyone's willing to
collaborate on this."

As I don't understand anything about programming, perhaps someone else
of you would like to contact him?

There was a version of LyX at PortableApps.com but it was difficult to get
to work. I never succeeded in running it. It has also been deprecated for
lack of updates.

I'm not volunteering to undertake this port. I don't have access to a
Windows PC at all except at client sites where having LyX as a portable app
would be helpful.

I gave this request to the PortableApps Forum "Request Apps"
yesterday (http://portableapps.com/node/27981) :

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and not simply
their appearance (WYSIWYG): http://www.lyx.org.

Some years befor there has been topics about a portable LyX in
PortableApps. But they didn't induce a portable Lyx. 

On http://code.google.com/p/lytex/ there has been a portable Lyx für a
while. It worked well, but it is abandoned now. 

LyX had a a great leap forward now with the version 2.0, that was
published this month. 

I suggest to create a portable Lyx:
Lyx needs for running some other programs (see
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller). I myself never made a
portable app before. Is someone here who agrees to create a portable
LyX?
