RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings
Hello, I have checked my configuration: Latex.exe is in D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin is not in: HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment:Path But it is (once) in: HKey_Users\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1085031214-1580436667-839522115-4110\Environm ent:Path I guess the reason is that I have installed Miktex for myself only and not for all users. I usually do that if I have the choice. Thanks for doing this by the way, while I personnally prefer Angus' version, I really need your version for my colleagues. I will test your next version.

RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings
I forgot to precise that I used the small installer. I have checked the network one and it works fine. I plan to have miktex on the network for my colleagues anyway so I'll just use this one for now. Question: is it possible to add a kind of config file to the network installer that will specify the network path to Miktex? I know that the perfect solution is to try to teach them but I prefer the path of least resistance and a fully automated, network-base installation process would be perfect ;-) Thanks, Abdel. -Original Message- From: YOUNES Abdelrazak (M3SYSTEM) To: 'Uwe Stöhr '; 'lyx-users@lists.lyx.org ' Cc: YOUNES Abdelrazak (M3SYSTEM) Sent: 11/30/05 9:10 AM Subject: RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings Hello, I have checked my configuration: Latex.exe is in D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin is not in: HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment:Path But it is (once) in: HKey_Users\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1085031214-1580436667-839522115-4110\Envi ronment:Path I guess the reason is that I have installed Miktex for myself only and not for all users.

You should be able to add the path directly in the installer... Ultimately, you'll find that LyX generates a file C:\Program Files\LyX\Resources\lyx\lyxrc.defaults containing a '\path_prefix' entry. Mine is \path_prefix J:\MSYS\bin;C:\Python24;C:\MiKTeX\Main\miktex\bin;C \PROGRA~1\Perl\bin;c:\program files\Ghostscript 8.33\gs8.33\bin;C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.2.3-Q16 LyX uses this to modify the PATH environment variable that enables it to find these various executables. You can always adjust this variable, either by editing the file manually or by using the Edit-Preferences dialog. This latter approach will create a user-level file C:\Documents and Settings\Angus\Application Data\LyX\preferences that contains differences bwtween your preferences and the contents of lyxrc.defaults Does any of that make sense/help?

That's just a directory name thing. CVS isn't very smart when it comes to renaming things or adding directories. I build LyX against the QT_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH branch of the qtwin project. Grab it with the cvs command: $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qtwin \ login press Enter when asked for a password $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/qtwin \ checkout -r QT_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH qt-3 Have a look at development/Win32/packaging/build_lyxwin.sh to see what needs to be done to build LyX using the MinGW/MSYS environment. In truth, I haven't used this with 1.4 for ages because I tend to use the MSVS.Net 2003 compiler (there's a .sln file in development/Win32). However, it certainly used to work. (You might want to add --disable-stdlib-debug to the options passed to the LyX configure script; it speeds up LyX's execution by an order of magnitude.) -- Angus
