Problem with texi2dvi

Problem with texi2dvi

[Gary Hargrave]

Hi,

When I run texi2dvi it just hangs. The problem seems to be at line 408 it cannot find the texinfo.tex file.

I fixed it by putting a copy of texinfo.tex in /usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo and setting TEXINPUTS to .:/usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo:

However I still think this is a bug as the script should use the texinfo.tex in the same directory that I ran texi2dvi.

I've found a bug in the texi2dvi script when it is run under Cygwin.

As can be seen from the folowing lines the path separator is set to ';' when run under Cygwin.


/usr/bin/texi2dvi lines 99-105
# Systems which define $COMSPEC or $ComSpec use semicolons to separate
# directories in TEXINPUTS.
if test -n "$COMSPEC$ComSpec"; then
  path_sep=";"
else
  path_sep=":"
fi
