.fls file not found #164

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I always get the same error on make:

sed: can't read presentation.fls: No such file or directory

I've used the latest alpha as well as the 2.20 release. The thing is that there 
is TONS of .fls files. They are usually of the form presentation4234.fls where 
the trailing number is some kind of PID (of make, latex etc.). So after each 
'make' there is another fls file. I'm using linux with the latest 2012 texlive 
distro.

Not an urgent issue...

Hmm.  I have seen this before, and I'm trying to remember why it keeps cropping 
up.

This bug was relevant, but it is old and was only for Windows:

http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2011-June/029484.html

But that's basically what's going on.  There may have been a regression 
introduced in pdflatex that makes this happen.

It's not a bug in the makefile, though it may be that we can work around it if 
your new distribution has some command line flags that govern this behavior.

When this happened before on Windows, the workaround was to always specify 
"jobname" as one of the latex parameters (otherwise latex appends the $PID to 
the end of the filename).

Let me know what you find.

Thanks for the quick reply and the link. Dont ask me why but the directory I'm 
working in, is a virtualbox shared directory to windows which then is an smb 
network drive to an nfs share. I know I know... bad. I'll try to switch over 
sshfs and see if that fixes it. (If I copy over the entire directory to my 
local linux (VM) everything works fine so my guess is, that somewhere from 
VM->windows->\\smb.xx\ there is some race condition and the file mv is ignored).

I guess that's not your problem so feel free to close this issue.

Wow, yeah, that is a very unusual setup.  :-)

Feel free to reopen if you find something repeatable, or if you figure out how 
to soldier on with the multi-indirection setup you have going.  ;-)
