Actually, the LyX configure is not working so I have no textclasses and
I cannot "Reconfigure...".
The console shows the following (which might be related):
support\Systemcall.cpp (261): Systemcall: 'python -tt
"C:/Users/Daniel/LyXSource/lyx/lib/configure.py"
--binary-dir="C:/Users/Daniel/LyXSource/lyx-build/LYX_INSTALLED/bin/"'
did not start!
support\Systemcall.cpp (262): error The process failed to start. Either
the invoked program is missing, or you may have insufficient
permissions
to invoke the program.

This looks wrong to me. Binary-dir and the path to configure.py
should be related.
I would have expected configure.py to lie in
"C:/Users/Daniel/LyXSource/lyx-build/LYX_INSTALLED/Resources/"
(I may be wrong of course)
Next question:
How did you start lyx?
If you want to use the source dir as system dir (instead of installed
dir) then you may start lyx with
# lyx -sysdir "C:/Users/Daniel/LyXSource/lyx/lib"
Kornel
I was starting LyX from
C:/Users/Daniel/LyXSource/lyx-build/LYX_INSTALLED/bin/
... But still get
Library directory: ~\LyXSource\lyx\lib\
Since configure.py is indeed in
"C:/Users/Daniel/LyXSource/lyx-build/LYX_INSTALLED/Resources/"
I tried
# .\LyX.exe -sysdir "C:\Users\Daniel\LyXSource\lyx-build\LYX_INS
TALLED"
Expecting LyX to change the system directory accordingly. But still get
the same error.
Here is all the stuff I am seeing in the console until I have created a
new document. Maybe something makes sense:
PS C:\Users\Daniel\LyXSource\lyx-build\LYX_INSTALLED\bin> .\LyX.exe
-sysdir "C:\Users\Daniel\LyXSource\lyx-build\LYX_INS
TALLED"
Looking for python v2.x or 3.x ...
Examining C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/x64//pythontex.exe
Warning: No python v2.x or 3.x binary found.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's a main reason. Without python in path, you can neither configure nor
read old lyx-files.
(lyx2lyx needs python for instance)
LyX: reconfiguring user directory
support\Systemcall.cpp (268): Systemcall: 'python -tt
"C:/Users/Daniel/LyXSource/lyx/lib/configure.py"
--binary-dir="C:/Users/Daniel/LyXSource/lyx-build/LYX_INSTALLED/bin/"'

I reinstalled Python and noticed that the option to set the PATH is not
checked by default. So I checked it. This should probably be mentioned
in the documentation on building LyX on Windows.
Changed CMakeLists.txt:288 to
set(LYX_USE_STD_REGEX 1)
even with the latest changes you made it didn't work without, as I
commented previously. By the way what means
if(MSVC10)
set(LYX_USE_STD_REGEX 1) #TODO should we use it in ECMAScript
mode?
endif()
Shouldn't it be MSVC15 for Visual Studio 2017? Some something like
"MSVC10 or above"?
