I have been running Lilypond under Linux for 2 years quite successfully and am now wanting to move to Windows. There are 2 reasons:
- our Linux machine is silent (no sound card), and we are making increasing use of MIDI output. - although I have learnt a great deal about music and typesetting through using Lilypond I feel that the Linux-phobic musicians would be more effective if they did it rather than telling me what to do. I have installed Lilypond 1.4.14.jcn3-1 onto Cygwin 1.3.10-1, and GNU emacs 21.2 on Windows XP. I chose to install emacs directly onto Windows. LilyPond and Emacs are both working successfully and "lilypond-mode" is syntax-colouring the .ly files. My problem comes when I press the "2PS" command: cd c:/cygwin/home/Peter/ ly2dvi -P c:/cygwin/home/Peter/praedulium-fuga-E.ly 'ly2dvi' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 2PS exited abnormally with code 1 at Fri Jun 28 18:38:02 ---------------------------------- I tried changing the emacs variable 'shell-file-name' from "c:/emacs/bin/CMDproxy.exe" to "c:/cygwin/bin/sh/exe" and then got: cd c:/cygwin/home/Peter/ ly2dvi -P c:/cygwin/home/Peter/praedulium-fuga-E.ly ly2dvi: not found 2PS exited abnormally with code 127 at Fri Jun 28 18:42:33 -------------------------------- I then started emacs from cygwin using /cygdrive/c/emacs/bin/runemacs. After changing shell-file-name as above I got: cd c:/cygwin/home/Peter/ ly2dvi -P c:/cygwin/home/Peter/praedulium-fuga-E.ly Running LilyPond... GNU LilyPond 1.4.14.jcn3 warning: can't find file: `/home/Peter/c:/cygwin/home/Peter/praedulium-fuga-E' warning: no lilypond output found for /home/Peter/c:/cygwin/home/Peter/praedulium-fuga-E Running LaTeX... Running dvips... error: dvips: command exited with value 256 ... --------------------------------- I've searched http://lilypond.org/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ for hints on configuring emacs without success. What should I do? Peter Dixon _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
