Latex source specials with files in sub directories

Latex source specials with files in sub directories

[no]

Hi

I have a directory/file structure like this
main.tex
contains a call
include{subDir/file2.tex}

now I view and compile main.tex with source specials enabled in Emacs.

However, when I try to view the dvi, the command line generated by
emacs is
xdvi main.tex --sourceposition 100:file.tex
instead of
xdvi main.tex --sourceposition 100:subDir/file.tex

the 1st command line does not work, however, the second one works (I
verified that in a shell).

I am using the latest beta latex and emacs 21.2.1

Got any idea how I can fix this ?

I figured it out myself !!   I don't know lisp, but I was able to hack
tex.el to do what I need:

There is a function in tex.el (under auctex) that is defined as:
(defun TeX-current-file-name-nondirectory ()
  "Return current filename, without path."
  (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name))

Change this to:

% Modified by Sumit (gupg-REMOVE-SPAM-FILTER@yahoo.com)
(defun TeX-current-file-name-nondirectory ()
  "Return current filename, with path relative to Tex-master."
  (file-relative-name (expand-file-name buffer-file-name)
(TeX-master-directory)))

Basically, the first variant just puts the current buffer's file name
and new one gets the file name of  the current buffer with its path
relative to the tex-master (the main file from where the other tex
files are being included).
