Angus, what about a configure.bat script? Perhaps it can also solve the problem that the configure script is not launched in 137pre5 at installation time (I also have this problem). Here is the one I use. It extracts the \path_prefix from configure to properly set up the path before calling sh.exe configure. Please, manually join the lines ending with \ to the line following them. I had to resort to break them this way as the gmane interface does not let me post lines longer than 80 chars. --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-------- @echo off if "%OS%"=="Windows_NT" goto win2k goto usage :win2k setlocal enableextensions if not exist "configure" goto noconf if "%ComSpec%"=="" goto nocmd if "%windir%"=="" goto nocmd :: Make sure native windows commands are (initially) ahead in the path for /f "usebackq tokens=* delims=" %%A in (`echo %ComSpec%`) do \ set PATH=%windir%;%%~dpA;%PATH% :: Extract \path_prefix from configure and prepend it to the path for /f "usebackq tokens=2 delims= " %%A in (`type configure ^| \ find "path_prefix"`) do set pathprefix=%%A set pathprefix=%pathprefix:"=% set pathprefix=%pathprefix:\\=\% set PATH=%pathprefix%;%PATH% :: We are ready to launch configure C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe configure goto end :nocmd echo. echo Cannot find the command interpreter or the system dir. goto end :usage echo. echo This script works on Windows NT 4 / 2000 / XP echo and performs a system wide configuration of LyX. goto end :noconf echo. echo Cannot find the configure script. :end if "%OS%"=="Windows_NT" endlocal --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
