Re: Preparing for development
After some research and trial and error work I finally understand what is happening there. The old imagemagick with the old ghostscript works, that means, that magick is found correctly. But then magick searches registry for "CoderModulesPath", because it needs some module for converting. The version magick in installed lyx is 7.0.7, LyX installer creates registry entries for that version, so the installed LyX works. And when I copy them to compiled LyX, it finds magick in there, but then uses the modules within the installed LyX version, because the registry entries poin to that one. The dependencies folder contains 7.0.8 imagemagick, so that magick will search for the registry entry in a different place, but It is not there, because noone registers it in there, so it fails. I had to put following entries for imagemagick into registry with regedit (the paths are given conform to the INSTALL.Win32 guide): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ImageMagick\7.0.8\Q:16] "CoderModulesPath"="C:\\lyx\\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\\imagemagick\\modules\\coders" "BinPath"="C:\\lyx\\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\\imagemagick" "ConfigurePath"="C:\\lyx\\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\\imagemagick" "FilterModulesPath"="C:\\lyx\\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\\imagemagick\\modules\\filters" "LibPath"="C:\\lyx\\lyx-windows-deps-msvc2017\\imagemagick" I just found the entries for the imagemagick in installed LyX under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ImageMagick\7.0.7\Q:16] and looked in there which entries variables I need and to what folder to point them to. Additionally I needed an registry entry for ghostscript, because by default magick would try to call "gswin32c.exe" if it needs it, but the dependencies contain 64 bit ghostscript (so "gswin64c.exe"). This is the entry I needed to do: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GPL Ghostscript\9.50] "GS_DLL"="gswin64c.exe" Not sure if the ghostscript in the dependencies is v9.50, but it works like this. I have installed ghostscript 64 bit from website, experimented with it a bit and came up with this entry. This is a usefull information for me for creating the windows installer :) Now can we let CMake make these entries while configuring for Visual Studio? because we point CMake to the GNUWIN32 dir, which is the dependencies folder, anyway... or should I update the INSTALL.Win32 guide?

Re: Preparing for development
Thanks :), In the mean while I have investigated the issue, where pdf files are not displayed for me. I have seen that there is a python script generated in a temporary folder, which is then executed. It first should convert pdf6 to eps and then eps to png. The first step seems to succeed but the second not. Then LyX can't load the png file because it does not exist. As far as I can tell it fails here: os.system(r'magick ' + '"' + infile + '"' + ' ' + '"' + outfile + '"' + '') I have tried to type this command manually into python command prompt (of course after importing "os" and creating all the other variables, which are created in the script, and making sure that the infile exists), but all I get is . Strangely it works on the installed 2.3.3 version, which I downloaded from lyx.org and installed, but it does not on both versions (master and stable), which I have compiled on my PC. Even though the scripts are same. What also just worked, I copied the LyX.exe which I compiled on my PC (stable) into the bin folder of the installed LyX (moved the origional one to a different place beforehand) and tried it out with that one, pdf file was displayed so the python script succeeded. Any idea what is going on there? Eugene -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel

Looks like everything can be started from under 'LyX.sln' And you need only 'install' target(==project in Win terminology) Most of the other targets are done automatically, since 'install' depends on them. Some of the (e.g. lyx_run_tests) are only for tests. But don't use it until we are ready to compile and install everything.

I think I actually found a clue. In the LyX.sln there are 36 projects, one of them is called install, compiling that one creates a LYX_INSTALLED folder. I just went with Build > Build Solution in VS menu bar. Now I see that in the stable branch it is described differently with "Compile the INSTALL project to get a LyX installation in C:\LyX\lyx-23-build\LYX_INSTALLED.", makes sense.

Hi again, thank you for welcoming. I have looked into this a bit more and got LyX to recognize Python, I had to change some strings in the support static library for that, I will send a diff file later and we can discuss that. As for the development environment, I think that QT Creator is a good choice. Visual Studio for example makes "Debug" and "Release" subfolders in the "bin" folder, and because of that things get more complicated. Also you can edit the UI elements in QT Creator. I could not manage to get into the main window UI yet though, maybe you could tell me how it works? As for the other issues I have described, here are a few updates of what I found: 1. Seems to be a bug with QT Creator, see: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-23060. 3. As said I could resolve that. 4. Even though LyX finds Python, it still does not display inserted pdf files (I guess that Python is used to display them). Maybe someone could give me a hint on where to start looking? I have not had a chance to learn Python yet. But if you could point me in the right direction, like which function to debug and what it basically does, it would be helpful. I will extend the windows guide once I get along with the Python issue. I am up for maintaining the windows installer, I will train that and see what I can do. regards, Eugene Am Do., 2.

Hi Eugene, welcome here. We have almost no windows devs, so there will be rather small feedback with windows specific questions, the more that you decided for a new workflow (qt creator instead of visual studio). So extending INSTALL.Win32 with section how to make things work with qt creator could be your first contribution :) Anyway, if you are somewhat profecient with windows we currently lack someone who would help to maintain windows installer, if that sounds even remotely fun to you :) Cheers, Pavel -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
