Support for TexLive? #28

Open yagars opened 4 years ago

yagars commented 4 years ago

Try as I might, I cannot get MikTeX to work on my system anymore. I use TexLive now. The LaTeXText extension is great. Is there any way I can point InkScape to pdfLatex in my TexLive install? Thanks in advance.

I just noticed that you already discussed this here: https://github.com/seebk/LaTeXText/issues/20#issuecomment-433637121

How can I include pdflatex.exe in the PATH? I'm not sure which path you are referring to.

seebk commented 4 years ago

There's an environment variable PATH that has to include the path of the TexLive folder where the pdflatex.exe is located. Have a look here to see how to set up that path on Windows.

Great, thanks. I was able to add the folder containing pdflatex.exe to the system variable PATH but I still get the following error in Inkscape:

Command "pdflatex c:\users\myname~1.myname\appdata\local\temp\tmpe1hsdq\tmp.tex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error" failed (code 1):

After more investigation, it seems like one of the functions is hanging on the fact that my Windows user name has a dot (.) in it when trying to access tmpe1hsdq/tmp.tex. Do you have some advice for me? Thanks.

Hi @seebk . Do you maybe have an idea to help solve my problem? Thanks in advance.
