Objet : [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.3.7 is released
- The windows version has received some polish, in particular in the
installer and in the handling of file names.
The installer doesn't work... there is a message at the end saying
that I shall manually "execute sh configure" form a given directory
but I don't know how to do that!
That is strange, my installer didn't generate that message before,
when next getting that textclass.lst missing error message.
Msys has a tool called sh.exe which if you used the default
install can be found in C:\Msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe
You should have Msys installed because it is part of the LyX
helper programs installation suite. One way to start sh.exe is to
go to Windows ->Start ->Mingw ->Msys -> and click on Msys
This should pop up the Msys command prompt window.
You want to navigate to the folder where the file "configure"
is located. If you installed LyX to C:\Lyx the command typed
from the Msys prompt would be: cd /c/LyX/Resources/lyx <enter>
Then you would type at the prompt: sh configure <enter>
Suppose instead you installed LyX to program files; equivalently
Start Msys as before.
Type from the command prompt:
cd /c <enter>
cd /"program files" <enter> {SH: with the quotes}
cd /LyX <enter>
cd /Resources <enter>
cd /lyx <enter>
Then you would type at the prompt: sh configure <enter>
This should start a process that may last a couple of minutes
but after that LyX should work OK, as long as all the helper
programs have been installed. You can find additional info
about helper programs at: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX137
