[Vim-latex-devel] Re: BUG on windows

[Alex J. <Ale...@ke...>]

Hello Alex,

There're only two files where change was actually necessary (so far).
They are compiler.vim, and main.vim.

The files are attached. They are from 20031202 snapshot and
contains changes related to this bug.

AJ>             return escape(lheadfile, ' ')

AJ>      I've changed it to
  
AJ>         if has('win32')
AJ>                 " Escaping spaces is not a good thing to do in Windows outside VIM !!!
AJ>                 return lheadfile
AJ>         else
AJ>                 return escape(lheadfile, ' ')
AJ>         endif

AJ>   2) Then, here comes *allū places where the result of
AJ>     Tex_GetMainFileName is used. For example, compiler.vim, line 269:

AJ>         let execString = '!start '.s:viewer.' '.mainfname.'.'.s:target

AJ>     may be changed to

AJ>         let execString = '!start '.s:viewer.' "'.mainfname.'.'.s:target.'"'
