Re: can't open lilypond

[Diosnel Herrnsdorf]

Aksel,

 

Does your CygWin terminal show a prompt? Will it let you input commands? What do you mean by "cannot close the normal way"? Does it mean that it does not accept the "exit" command?

 

If it does, then at least the terminal is working. I thought I had the same problem, but then it dawned on me that I was trying to run lilypond from a DOS prompt... and CygWin installed a Unix version of it, so it wouldn't work.

 

As for the bug file, try doing a file search... if you did everything right, it should be in c:\cygwin\home\Aksel\ (or whatever your user name is)

 

Regards,

Subject: can't open lilypond

I have downloaded LilyPond 1.6.11, Windows version. As far as I can see i have about 50 megabyte files on my hard-disk, but I can't reach the files. I have got the cygwin-icon on my desktop, but when I try to open it I get nothing but a black window. which I  furthermore cannot close the normal way.

I have tried to run the the program using

C:\cygwin\usr\share\lilypond1.6.11 but I only get a list concerning the files and no hint what to do next.

I have also tried to make a bug.txt file as it is suggested in the online manual, but nothing seems to happen.

I hope you'll be able to help me.

Yours sincerely

Aksel Kjær
