Re: Help needed - missing .pdf file after running lilypond sucessfully.

[MING TSANG]

Kaz,
thank you. I don't know how to run lilypond on CMD EXE. Can you provide some command line script?

I try the alternative method as suggested. I got the following message:
  "GS.EXE entry point not found -- the procedure entry point address@hidden could not be located in the dynamic link library gs-8.70.dll"

For the past few days I have been rebooting window xp several times.


Mark Polesky:  thank you for pointing me to contact jedit users. I have send them an email and waiting for their response.

This mailing list is about Lilypond.

What happens if you run just the lilypond executable?

In windows you can open a CMD.EXE window on the folder and run lilypond on the file. If the executable is not in your %PATH%, you will have to use the full path.

Alternately, you should be able, in Explorer, to right click on the .ly file and invoke the "Generate PDF" command from the popup menu.

Be sure that no program has any of the output files (MIDI, PDF, ...) open, because this may prevent Lilypond from being able to write to the files. (Install a real OS to avoid that problem).

If you follow this procedure and get a PDF, there is no Lilypond problem. Maybe the surrounding tools are "eating" the PDF.

Also, when was the last time you rebooted that Windows? At least once every few days is a good idea.

Here below is jedit console message display. According to the message a .ps file is generated and a .pdf is generated as well.  However I find the .ps file but no .pdf file on the folder where the .ly file resides.
