I installed LyX using the installer by Joost to test them on a pure win32 environment. They work provided that the patch I posted earlier in this thread is applied to dvipost. This patch is needed because to make dvipost compile on windows I modified the source to use system() instead of fork()/exec() to spawn an external program. However, doing so one must be careful to properly quote the argument passed to system() as that will be interpreted by the windows shell. The way the windows shell deals with double quotes is weird, to say the least, so I was missing this problem in my first patch. -- Enrico
