Of course not. It's an attempt to define the various paths that LyX needs
to operate in a way that makes sense on the various operating systems.

No. It's a work in progress. It's also Christmas and I would like to have a
bit of a life...

Michael, I think that the quickest, easiest solution for now is to apply
the attached patch to a clean 1.3.x tree. I believe that it is very
similar to the changes taht you have in your own, personal tree. Note,
however, the code in os_win32.C
- homepath_ = GetEnvPath("HOMEDRIVE") + GetEnvPath("HOMEPATH");
+ homepath_ = GetEnv("USERPROFILE");
+ if (homepath_.empty()) {
+ string const homedrive = GetEnv("HOMEDRIVE");
+ string const homepath = GetEnv("HOMEPATH");
+ homepath_ = internal_path(homedrive + homepath);
+ }
>From the post '"HOME" on Windows?', 20 Dec:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
On *nix we specify "HOME" with
homepath_ = GetEnvPath("HOME");
On Windows, where $HOME doesn't exist, we currently use:
homepath_ = GetEnvPath("HOMEDRIVE") + GetEnvPath("HOMEPATH");
Trouble is, this doesn't seem very robust. The lyx_init.txt output that I
posted earlier this morning indicates that
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\
LOGNAME=Angus
USERNAME=Angus
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\Angus
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This explains the current result of
C//.lyx-136cvs
for your .lyx dir (you could always have started 'lyx -userdir foo'...)
I'd hope that you'll now get the equivalent of
C:/Documents and Settings/Angus/.lyx-136cvs
If not, I'm sure that you can get something similar to work. Hard coding,
even...
There is no warranty associated with the attached patch. It will *not* be
applied to the LyX sources.
