2) The View/DVI menu entry is missing.
I'm currently using LyX on the system since I was able to find an out of
band work around by exporting the LaTeX source, using LaTeX (the version I
got from cygwin) to render it to DVI, and displaying it using xdvi (also
from cygwin). The only complaint I have with this, other than the
inconvenience, is that TOC's don't get generated. This is likely just my
limited experience with LyX (I started using it Thursday).
You are right, I'm making some blind assumptions about what is causing the
missing menu entry. I don't really know why the menu entry isn't there, I
just thought it likely that its absence was due to my hack of the install
process, and LyX is looking for a resource that it can't find on my system
and therefore not populating the menu. If I knew what resource LyX is
looking for when it is deciding to populate the DVI entry on the menu,
then I can get what it wants and probably make it happy by fooling around
with paths and rerunning the configuration.
I posted this before but didn't see a reply: Is Edit->Preferences->File
formats->DVI->Viewer set to xdvi, and is the path to xdvi (presumably
the cygwin bin directory) included in Edit->Preferences->Paths->PATH
prefix? That should be all it takes.
