Message-ID: <uhdg87dce.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
I am using a natively built emacs with cygwin tex.
this causes quite a few problems:
1. tex-kill-job somehow causes the first character of the command to be
deleted:
$ pdflatex "\nonstopmode\input" "tr1622-srs-trigger-gen.tex"
$ bash: dflatex: command not found
[note that the message is inserted _after_ the next prompt]
(tex-shell-file-name is "bash")
this problem disappears if I make tex-kill-job a noop.
2. tex-executable-exists-p calls executable-find to figure out if a
program is available. this is utterly broken because it tries to
infer something without any knowledge about cygwin-specific handling
of symbolic links, "exe" suffix &c.
I had to explicitly set tex-executable-cache to ensure that pdflatex
and latex were called at all.
3. this one is not specific to cygwin:
I do not have a dvi previewer so I want everything to be in pdf.
how do I start a pdf previewer?
C-c C-v passes the dvi file to tex-dvi-view-command.
thanks.
