Why not? The latex export is complicated by the need to parse the latex log file in order to ascertain whether latex needs to be run again. It seems to me that you have two possible strategies: You have two choices. 1 (simple to implement): keep this control code within LyX but move it into a separate function that is called when the forked latex process finishes and emits a signal to say so. 2. (more work but perhaps more elegant): convert the C++ control code to (say) python and run this script. You may find that LyX doesn't even need to know when the forked process ends if the viewer can also be run from the script. -- Angus
