#2037 Execution of v2.12.0 on a fresh system gives "No latex distribution found..."

[Anonymous]

When run for the first time, the v2.12.0 cannot detext LaTeX installation. I checked with strace that it looks inside of $PATH but incorrectly adds double backslash:
stat("/usr/bin\latexmk", 0x7ffc702e1b20) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Downgrading to v2.11.2 fixes this problem for the moment.

To reproduce:
- delete ~/.config/texstudio
- run texstudio v2.12.0

Hi, that was my submission. I can see that the formatting broke my ticket a little bit, so here is the most important line:

8424  stat("/usr/bin\\latexmk", 0x7ffc702e1b20) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Of course, the same goes for all other LaTeX tools (latex, pdflatex, bibtex, etc.)

what OS are we talking about ?

[Tomasz Żok]

I am using Arch Linux.

During first run v2.12.0 fails to find LaTeX distribution so I need to start with v2.11.2. But once the file ~/.config/texstudio/texstudio.ini is created (with v2.11.2) containing correct paths to LaTeX tools, then I can switch to v2.12.0 without problems. So my submission is really concerning only the case when texstudio.ini is not yet present .
