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"

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)

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.
I am back to a python problem, I guess. I just redid the whole procedure
for compiling LyX. I have changed nothing else on my system. Here is the
error I get when (re)configuring LyX:

Not sure why LyX does not find the python binary any more...
Daniel
How do you start lyx? You could write a wrapper .bat file which sets the PATH
accordingly,
before starting lyx.
I guess I'll have to look into that then.
You know, this is not a python or lyx problem, but the environment in which
you start lyx is not OK.
Not sure I understand the comment about the environment. The environment
I am using is Windows 10, right? So Windows 10 is not OK? Not sure what
you mean. I have instructed python during installation to add to the
PATH and it was added. So, I don't see why LyX does not find it.
