Those questions are not related directly to LyX but to the chosen
converter backend.
In lyxrc.C:
@@ -259,8 +261,9 @@ LyXRC::LyXRC()
view_dvi_command = "xdvi";
default_papersize = PAPER_USLETTER;
custom_export_format = "ps";
chktex_command = "chktex -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -n22 -n25 -n30 -n38";
+ tth_command = "tth -t";
I'm a bit unsure which program should become the preferred LaTeX->html
translator for LyX for OS/2. I've no experience here. Maybe for emx
port we should use the empty string ""??? Shigeru, any recommendations?
Nevertheless there are exciting possibilities: I can e.g. imagine a
filter that pipelines directly to a html->ipf formatter. This would
enable to compile OS/2 online books directly from LyX! LyX could become
a first class documentation tool for OS/2 documentation writers,
exporting LaTeX, html and ipf.
Apart from the 'tth', etc. issue - which I'd like to discuss first -
I'm now able to do the release immediately. For this (last) time I'd
prefer emx 0.9c (gcc 2.7.2.2), but I don't have a particular problem to
use gcc 2.81 (emx 0.9d) or pgcc 1.1.1 if this might be preferable.
BTW:
News from recent Warpstock Europe event.
www.warpstock.de
There's great work going on by volunteers to get a nearly 'foolproof'
installation program and even to be able to start X and LyX (including
all backends), gimp, enlightenment, gnome directly from CD even without
any installation. This is a project rooted at
www.teamos2.ipcon.de
with some support from
www.netlabs.org
The automatic X install is already functional (CD's containing LyX with
nearly 600MB of mostly Xfree and emx related open source software have
been sold at Warpstock here in Bochum for 5,- Euro). The release is
scheduled to happen towards the end of this year. Although OS/2 has not
at all a M$ market share, there's a great number of very active and
enthusiastic OS/2 users and developers, organized in mutual support
rings, with regular events, meetings, workshops, seminars, and who can
open a door for LyX (and open source) for those reluctant to learn how
to master and administrate UNIX/LINUX.
