Hello LyXers,
I just published the version 0.6 of the LyX installer for Windows.
Due to a bug of ftp.berlios.de it is only available from here:
http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117
This is the project homepage:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
Here's the changelog:
---
Version 0.6
- updated swedish translation of the installer (thanks to Christian
Ridderström)
- updated spanish translation of the installer (thanks to Marco
Celentani)
- uninstaller will uninstall GSview when it was installed together with
LyX
- uninstaller asks you if you want to uninstall MiKTeX and Aspell when
they were installed together with LyX
- Instant Preview does now also work when LyX is installed in a path
with spaces
- fix in the check for the TeXLive LaTeX-distribution
- updated Readmes (hints for the usage of TeXLive, updated license
stuff)
- updated LyX 1.3.7pre
---
There are some important notes concerning the TeXLive LaTeX-distribution:
I tried to use TeXLive together with my LyX installer but failed.
TeXLive comes with its own (very old) Ghostscript version 7.07, that is
incompatible with the version 8.x that is used in my installer. To avoid
this problem, install TeXLive without Ghostscript or delete the folder
~\etc\Ghostscript in LyX's install directory and delete its path in LyX
preferences.
I found also incompatibilities in the programs dt2dv and dv2dt, that are
used by LyX for the DVI-output. I don't know how to fix this.
TeXLive don't have the program "epstopdf" so that you have to redefine
the EPS -> PDF converter in LyX using the program "ps2pdf".
These problems and possibly more implies that I don't give support that
LyXWin works together with TeXLive, I can only promise that TeXLive is
correctly recognized by the installer.
But the LaTeX-distribution "ProTeXt" that is also on the TeXLive 2005
DVD will work, because it is based on MiKTeX.
best regards
Uwe
p.s. Please send every annotation directly to me. (I'm currently not on
a LyX-list).
