BUILD-STRATEGY := latex / fails to find .eps file with vers. 2.2.1-alpha6

Chris,

I'm sure that version 2.2.1-alpha6 is still in early stages, but I thought I'd share
some of my findings in the hope they will be helpful!

I found two issues with BUILD-STRATEGY := latex with this version that I am entering
as two separate issues.

The first issue I found is that when using BUILD-STRATEGY := latex in the Variables.ini
file, a simple latex source file, call it  my_latex.tex, that includes a .eps graphics
file, foo.eps, using the statement:

\includegraphics{foo} *or* \includegraphics{foo.eps}

results in the error:
= my_latex.tex --> my_latex.d my_latex.dvi.1st.make (0-1) =
make: *** No rule to make target `foo', needed by `my_latex.d'.  Stop.

I this case, both my_latex.tex and foo.eps were in the same directory.

I looked in a listing of SHELL_DEBUG=1, and it appeared as though make tried stems
foo.gpi, and foo, but no other stems.

Thanks!
-Chas

This issue 151 is fixed!  The new version 2.2.1-alpha7 definitely finds the .eps files
that already exist.  The code I tested was actually the version attached to issue 152.
 I'll have additional comments there.

Hooray!  I'm glad that it worked for you, and that it was so simple to fix.  Thanks
for the report.
