LyX ⇒ Software Listings and LaTeX Code

[Caterpillar]

One month ago I started studying LyX to write a software project documentation.
Everything is okay except for software listings.
I would like to have software listings like you can see in http://gapil.gnulinux.it/files/2011/12/gapil.pdf at page 641 (number of page, not number of pdf's page)
To do that I downloaded the .tex files of Gapil book at http://gapil.truelite.it/sources/browser/trunk

The software listings of Gapil book are under listati subfolder. I found out that the part of tex file that manages software listings are:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!htb]
	\footnotesize \centering
	\begin{minipage}[c]{15.6cm}
		\includecodesample{cancellami/UDP_daytimed.c}
	\end{minipage}
	\normalsize
	\caption{Sezione principale del server per il servizio \textit{daytime} su     UDP.}
	\label{fig:UDP_daytime_server}
\end{figure}

So I tried to insert LaTex code into the Lyx document but it did not work. Before I get into specific error messages, is there anything wrong in this procedure I am doing?

LyX version: 2.0.2

Welcome to the board!

You need to

• load the listings package in your preamble, such as by

  Code: Select all

  \usepackage{listings}

• define the macro \includecodesample which you used. In your book example it is defined in macros.tex:

  Code: Select all

  \newcommand{\includecodesample}[1]{\lstinputlisting{#1}}{}

Put both in your document preamble.

Can I insert those lines in a single Tex commands box toghether with the lines I mentioned before?
I inserted a TeX code box like that

Code: Select all

\usepackage{listings}
\newcommand{\includecodesample}[1]{\lstinputlisting{#1}}{}
\begin{figure}[!htb]    \footnotesize \centering    \begin{minipage}[c]{15.6cm}       \includecodesample{cancellami/UDP_daytimed.c}    \end{minipage}    \normalsize    \caption{Sezione principale del server per il servizio \textit{daytime} su     UDP.}    \label{fig:UDP_daytime_server} \end{figure}

How can I check if

Code: Select all

\usepackage{listings}

has been well loaded?

Note that LyX has natively supported "listing" for a couple of years now. Go to Insert > Program Listing. You can right-click on a listings inset (box) and go to "Settings" to get more control. Also look under Document > Settings > Listings for more customization.
