RE: RE: How to invoke Lilypond-book (Windows / Ubuntu)

[Bostjan Kuzman]

Thanks for the advice.

However, though double clicking lilypond-book.py does something in
Windows, I still don't know how to process the files.
Running

python c:/Progra~1/LilyPond/usr/bin/lilypond-book.py 

from Command prompt looks OK, but if I do

python c:/Progra~1/LilyPond/usr/bin/lilypond-book.py test.lytex,

then I get

Path not found.
lilypond-book.py (GNU LilyPond) 2.7.27
Reading C:\Documents and Settings\gost\Desktop\test.lytex...
Running latex...lilypond-book.py: error: `latex' failed (signal 1)
lilypond-book.py: error: The error log is as follows:

system
    sys.stderr.write (open (error_log_file).read ())

Of course, latex runs normally from the command prompt, so that should
not be the problem.
(BTW, I had to put "C:\Progra~1\Lilypond\usr\bin" at the end of my PATH
variable to be able to execute python from command prompt.)

lilypond-book _is_ a python script, and it should be marked executable.
Try 
running it!
