Connecting LyZ to LyX #5

Closed barspurk closed 10 years ago

barspurk commented 10 years ago

Hello Will,

I've been struggling to get the lyx server settings correctly. I currently have both lyz and lyx set to F:\pipe\lyxpipe for the lyx server pipe path. I've tried restarting lyx but it won't create the server files in there and lyz tells me " Wrong path to Lyx server. Set the path specified in Lyx preferences."

How can I correct this issue? And thank you so much in advance.

Best, barspurk

Hi barspurk,

I'm not that familiar with the syntax LyX uses for the lyxpipe path on Windows. The default path of \\.\pipe\lyxpipe appears to be a relative path, though I'm not sure what it is relative to or if you can use an absolute path instead. I have used LyZ successfully on Windows using this default path, but I have never tried to change it. If you can't use the default value for the lyxpipe path, you might want to ask the LyX developers about the syntax for the lyxpipe path. I can't find any documentation on it via Google. LyX is running something it refers to as a server ("LyXServer") to communicate with other programs, so that server might not have access to arbitrary paths on your file system, or it might require special syntax to specify them.

I'm closing this because I don't think it is a LyZ issue, and there hasn't been an update on it in a while. The discussion can still be continued if there is any follow up.
