mgs shouldn't be assumed on windows #17

Closed u-fischer closed 2 years ago

u-fischer commented 3 years ago

mgs is a miktex specific variant of ghostscript. It doesn't exist if texlive is used.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I have had no Windows users so far, so I'm very glad you tested this ;)

Do you know if a usual texlive windows distribution includes ghostscript? Is it just called gs?

We probably need to detect that during import of the package. I'll try to come up with a way to do that.

There is a ghostscript in texlive, the binary itself is not in the path but you can call it with the wrapper rungs.

And a side remark: \immediate\write18 doesn't work in a native luatex. It does work in your package because you load the shellesc package which overloads \write. But it would be cleaner to use \ShellEscape instead of \immediate\write18.

Should be fixed in #20.
