I use the lgrind latex package, which can be used in LyX using ERT.
Works with preprocessing using a shell command (lgrind) which must
be installed in the bin directory of the LaTeX installation.
Provides pretty printing and line numbering of various languages,
and can be used standalone, e.g.
%lgrind -lC -o foo.tex foo.c
%latex foo;dvips foo
provides a printed version of C code in foo.c.
There are about 40 recognised languages.
Does not fold long lines however, you have to format yourself.
So with LyX:
- get the package from the nearest CTAN archive
- install it in the LaTeX tree
- make it available (texhash with teTeX)
- preprocess the code for inline inclusion in a latex doc, e.g.
%lgrind -i -lC -o foo.c.tex foo.c
- edit the premable in LyX, e.g.:
\usepackage[lineno5,leftno,norules]{lgrind}
- at the right location in the doc, insert in ERT
\lgrindfile{foo.c.tex}
Should work OK, perhaps a bit sophisticated for simple pieces of code,
in which case a simple Lyx input of the code embedded between
\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}
could be sufficient.
