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

[GoogleCodeExporter]

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 138 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 139.  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.
