Anders,
Stephen Witt mentioned that he was using RSVG-convert. So I installed, using
macports librsvg. I did a reconfigure on Lyx, and now the svgz snippets show
up.
Don’t know why it is required to have this package, as Lyx should supply
everything it needs to make all these conversions work.
No.
rsvg-convert is independent of lyx, as is also inkscape or any other executable.
While Inkscape is not provided with LyX, rsvg-convert is, at least on
Windows.
Daniel
By lyx? (If yes, then I think that is not OK, since it is not a program we
created).
I am pretty sure by LyX since it is in the LyX bin directory.
(I guess it is OK as long as no licenses are violates. On Windows, which
has no package dependency system like some Linux distributions, it is
pretty common that applications come with such helper applications,
especially for open source software.)
Daniel
I am surprised. Riki, is that part of our installation script?
Kornel
OK, found a file with a list of executables
development/Win32/packaging/installer/include/filelist.nsh.
Very strange policy for a unix user.
Yes, there's a bunch of stuff we install with LyX on Windows. My
understanding, as Daniel said, is that this is because configuring this
kind of thing on Windows is very difficult, due to path issues and the
registry, etc, etc.
Riki
Do you happen to know where the rsvg-convert.exe installed with LyX
comes from, e.g. where it can be obtained?
Daniel
Don't know from where it comes to lyx, but a short googling reveals
https://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2012/06/rsvg-convert-svg-image-conversion-tool.html
(rsvg-convert-2.40.20.7z)
Seems pretty old, but OTOH, on my linux it is even older version ...
$ rsvg-convert --version
==> rsvg-convert version 2.40.13
Kornel
Thanks. The version with LyX is actually a bit newer. Anyway, seems like
there is no installer for it. So, LyX probably couldn't reliably find it
without it being shipped with LyX. Which seems like a good case for
installing it with the LyX installer.
Daniel
