Re: text font problems with 2.6.4 for windows?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Thanks for your efforts! However, is it really that hard to make a simple
test case yourself? There are still a number of problems to solve:

When you run from the Windows (XP) command window:

1. Python is still not setup correctly. For example, you get:
>>midi2ly
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 24, in ?
   import getopt
ImportError: No module named getopt

2. More on Python. I tried to run it stand-alone and got:
>>python
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Nov  2 2005, 01:27:15)
[GCC 3.4.4 (mingw special)] on mingw32msvc2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

 When I did
>>set PYTHONHOME="C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\lib\python2.4

 it worked somewhat better, but it still doesn't find all modules:
>>python
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Nov  2 2005, 01:27:15)
[GCC 3.4.4 (mingw special)] on mingw32msvc2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> import getopt
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named getopt
>>>

3. You still have to call lilypond with full path, otherwise you get:

>>lilypond
GNU LilyPond 2.6.4
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path
                                                                               

 As far as I could see from the CVS change logs, it seems that you tried
 to fix this problem but it still doesn't work.


4. On the positive side: It seems that your settings of PATH, PATHEXT
 and PYTHONPATH work well, at least on WinXP after the first
 reboot.
