I tested it on cygwin. Here are the results. 1) After launching, the script was hanging in checkCygwinPath(). I had to kill the latex.exe process to let it continue (I use MikTeX, so latex.exe is a native win32 program, whereas python is a cygwin application). Doing so, the check for cygwin_path_fix was wrong, of course. 2) lyxrc.defaults had CRLF terminators. 3) All other files (packages.lst, textclass.lst, and doc/LaTeXconfig.lyx) were ok and a diff with the ones produced by the sh configure script showed no significant differences. So, apart from 1) and 2) above, it works. Good work! I think that the configure script should also provide for a default \path_prefix in lyxrc.default, probably based on platform. When sys.platform == 'cygwin', it would be: \path_prefix "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin" -- Enrico
