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.

Daniel

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/"'
did not start!

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"?

Daniel
Well, I forgot the most important part:

With that all being set everything seems to work now (as far as I have
checked)!

Daniel


Sure. What is the value of MSVC10, respective MSVC15?
    message(STATUS "Value of MSVC is \"${MSVC15}\"")
Maybe asking for the version could help
    message(STATUS "Version = \"${MSVC_VERSION}\"")

Are you asking me to try that out? I have been only using the CMake GUI
so far. But I do not see anything there to run commands. So, more
specific instructions would be helpful.

in that case the 'if' statement could be
    if (MSVC_VERSION VERSION_GREATER "10.0")
        set(LYX_USE_STD_REGEX 1)
    endif



Yes, please edit the CMakeLists.txt and add the commands.

    Kornel

Okay. I believe there were brackets missing after endif. Looks like this now:

....
else()
     set(LYX_USE_STD_REGEX 1)
     message(STATUS "Value of MSVC is \"${MSVC15}\"")
     message(STATUS "Version = \"${MSVC_VERSION}\"")
     if (MSVC_VERSION VERSION_GREATER "10.0")
         set(LYX_USE_STD_REGEX 1)
     endif
endif()
....

Seems compiles fine. Though I have just reconfigured, generated and build and not erased the whole build directory. Let me know if that's necessary to test.

Daniel

Obviously I should have changed back the first line:

...
else()
        set(LYX_USE_STD_REGEX 0)
        message(STATUS "Value of MSVC is \"${MSVC15}\"")
        message(STATUS "Version = \"${MSVC_VERSION}\"")
        if (MSVC_VERSION VERSION_GREATER "10.0")
                set(LYX_USE_STD_REGEX 1)
        endif()
endif()
...

And here is the output of CMake:

Value of MSVC is ""
Version = "1915"

Still compiles fine (without cleaning build directory).

Best,
Daniel
