The crash window runs as follows: > `The TEX2LYX.EXE file is linked to missing export > KERNEL32.DLL:GetFileAttributesExA' Ahhhhhhh: $ grep -r GetFileAttributes lyx/devel/src lyx/devel/src/support/fs_extras.C: DWORD const attr = ::GetFileAttributes(ph.string().c_str()); lyx/devel/src/support/fs_extras.C: DWORD const attr = ::GetFileAttributes(ph.string().c_str()); lyx/devel/src/support/fs_extras.C: DWORD const attr = ::GetFileAttributes(ph.string().c_str()); I'm sure that we can work around this in much the same way. Hmmm. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/fs/getfileattributes.asp says that it should work on Win95 too... I'm confused :( Ahhhhhhhhhh. $ grep -r GetFileAttributes lyx/devel/boost lyx/devel/boost/libs/filesystem/src/operations_posix_windows.cpp: if(::GetFileAttributesA( ph.string().c_str() ) == 0xFFFFFFFF) lyx/devel/boost/libs/filesystem/src/operations_posix_windows.cpp: return false; // GetFileAttributes failed because the path does not exist lyx/devel/boost/libs/filesystem/src/operations_posix_windows.cpp: DWORD attributes = ::GetFileAttributesA( ph.native_directory_string().c_str() ); lyx/devel/boost/libs/filesystem/src/operations_posix_windows.cpp: if ( !::GetFileAttributesExA( ph.string().c_str(), lyx/devel/boost/libs/filesystem/src/operations_posix_windows.cpp: if ( !::GetFileAttributesExA( ph.string().c_str(), http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/fs/getfileattributesex.asp states that GetFileAttributesExA is not available on Win95. I'll post a message to the Boost mailing list. >> Moreover, the attached patch should allow the code to be compiled on >> Cygwin as well as on MinGW.
