Absolute paths for files break PDF log on Windows

[koppor]

When I compile on windows and get the PDF output, it looks like follows:

The C:29.sty seems to point to a file outside the current directory. I think, the Windoze backslashes cause issues.

Yup, these warnings apparently come from package files. Can you please add what the LaTeX log has there? (I agree, looks like "unescaped" backslashes being the problem.) Do the links work?

SumatraPDF tries to open c:\git-repositories\latex-templates\LNCS\C:.sty, which is invalid.

I think, the log excerpt is as follows

(C:\MiKTeX\tex\latex\bezos\soulpos.sty

\ulp@subcnt=\count191

)

Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdftex' has already been used,
(hyperref)                setting the option has no effect on input line 1348.

[reitzig]

I don't see how this path would be created from this excerpt. More has to go wrong. Can you please create a LaTeX log with -lf latex and copy-paste the relevant section here? Thanks!

Should be fixed in the dev branch. Hope to merge into master soon-ish.

Closing for now.
