First of all: The new Lyx really looks great ;-)
I'm still preparing the Win32 port of Lyx 1.2.0. So far I've successfully
compiled 1.2.0 on Win32/Cygwin after some manually changes in config.h. These
changes were necessary because autoconf/configure wasn't able to check the
existance of some standard C functions like memmove(), strchr() and others. I
am using autoconf 2.13!
I'll send more details when the Win32-release will be finished!
New Lyx 1.2.0 needs epstopdf as well as ImageMagick. So I've installed
ImageMagick (for Windows) and compiled epstopdf. Both packages are not part of
Windows.
But I have trouble to work with my old files as well as with new files using
image files. Up to 1.1.6 you've better named an image file without an
extension. Lyx internally looked for an eps file and if pdflatex is called the
corresponding pdf file was looked for. That does not work in 1.2.0, right? You
should name an image file including any extension! (So it seems me and many
others do have to change all of my lyx files)
Although a gs version is present, Lyx isn't able to present any eps file. If I
do include an eps file I can see a box with the relative filename and the
message
Error converting to loadable format
Showing eps files is possible in 1.1.6 (it's the only format 1.1.6 can
handle). So what is missing here? What type is the loadable format?
Before announcing the new release that topic should be fixed because I've to
describe the procedure to upgrade to 1.2.0! (On Windows there are many things
missing that are by default present on any Linux system.)
Awaiting any answer ...
Claus
P.S.: Please mail directly to me because I'm not described in lyx-devel!
