Re: [Vim-latex-devel] [BUGREPORT] -output-directory isn't handled

I'm sorry, you clearly don't have pipes in your 'g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf'.
Still, I can confirm that latexsuite relies on vim's ':make' command.
In particular, it sets the 'makeprg' and 'errorformat' variables to
appropriate values, so that calling ':make' gives:
" [...]
4. The program given with the 'makeprg' option is
    started (default "make") with the optional
    [arguments] and the output is saved in the
    errorfile (for Unix it is also echoed on the
    screen).
5. The errorfile is read using 'errorformat'.
[...] "
(from vim's "quickfix.txt" help page)

If you set 'g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf' to 'xelatex
-interaction=nonstopmode $*' does vim behave as you expect? If not,
then this is probably an error parsing issue, otherwise this issue is
probably related to the output of your command.

Please, let me know, as I currently am unable to reproduce a xelatex
latexsuite setup.
