Hi All,
viele danke!
I have some more comments on the documentation issue. Yes, thanks for
the information.
(1) I stared at my screen for an hour or so, and found also the problem
with the 'space'. I then
tried to run the script using:
c:\path\to\bash\bash.exe -e Setup1.sh 1.1.6fix1
and it ran OK, handling the space problem fine. However bash died
because it could not
find the 'start' command. (This might be a problem with my cygwin
installation of course.)
So the problem lies with 'sh.exe' not being able to handle the peculiar
Microsoft 'feature'
of allowing spaces in directory and filenames! And the solution to
re-install MikTex to another
place is a good answer.
(2) The documentation I downloaded stated that MikTex is by default
loaded into 'c:\texmf',
well with the latest MikTeX, I think I ran its setup routines using its
defaults, and its defaults
put the program under 'Program Files'. So this could be a problem with
the documentation.
Perhaps the default downloads have been changed by MikTeX people and
this has made LyX
documentation wrong. (Yes, you know about this quite well.)
(3) It would be helpful I think if some more information is put into the
LyX documentation
indicating the need to have a working Cygwin environment. (I have in
fact used the Cygwin
than comes with Enhydra, and did not have a new pure Cygwin on my
machine. (I have installed
one now.)) - I note that the requirement to have Cygwin installed is
mentioned in the Setup1.sh
script.
(4) Why not replace sh.exe with bash.exe? It handles the spaces! If not,
then I think there
should be a comment in the documentation saying that because sh.exe is
like it is, the user
should NOT install components into directories that have spaces in their
paths. I say this
because I am rather ignorant about Microsoft things and would assume
that spaces were ok.
They are ok with bash in any case.
Also I see that we are using different environments, and installations
of things might be
different for different (non-English) environments.
Thanks for help. I will try again to install. (Then I can write my
thesis too! :) )
Regards
Freddo
