@michal-h21 I think I found the cause of
LaTeX says that it cannot write to the log file
mkdirectories
was calling lfs.chdir()
but not changing back to the original working directory. So the call to latex was being run in build/
, not in the root directory. c97f264 fixes this by removing the side effect from mkdirectories
.
I think that I've resolved most issues, including in some extensions and filters. I think we will need to go over all uses of par.input
or parameters.input
in all files, and use the new function mkutils.file_in_builddir
to get the file.
I've tried to push to your repo, but Github rejected that, so I will make another pull request on your fork.
@rsekman I hope everything works now. So I merged the code to the main branch.
By passing
--output-directory
to the TeX engine we can put its intermediate (.aux, .toc, .log, ...
) files in a build directory. This implements the feature requested in #10.This requires making some other functions aware that they need to look in the build directory and interpret paths relative to it.
This is a draft for now because I don't think I have gone all over the places where
make4ht
touches the file system.There is also some refactoring that can be done; we should have utility functions to manipulate paths etc.
