[Vim-latex-devel] YAP forward search problem

[Marino <mar...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with running a forward search
with the dvi viewer Yap (win32). I am fairly new to
latex-suite, so I may have overlooked some simple
settings.

System:
-------
Win2K
gvim 6.3
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1
latexSuite-1.5 (from latexSuite-1.5.tar.gz)
latest MiKTeX (30-Nov-2004, MiKTeX update wizard)

Problem:
--------
I have a latex project consisting out of one main file
('main.tex') which includes (\include{}) several other
files, e.g. 'chap1.tex'. Whenever I edit such an
included file and I want to use a forward search
(latex-suite '\ls') with Yap I get an 'yap.exe -
Application Error' message from windows and Yap does
not start at all. However, a normal preview of the dvi
document (latex-suite '\lv') does work.

I do have the following line in my 'texrc' file:
let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex
-interaction=nonstopmode --src-specials $*'

The latex-suite command '\ls' invokes the following
vim command when called from within the buffer that
contains the 'chap1.tex' file:
!start yap -1 -s 101chap1.tex c:/somedir/main

I believe this should be:
!start yap -1 -s 101chap1.tex c:/somedir/main.dvi

i.e. with the extension '.dvi'. Therefore, I have made
the following modification in the
'VIM$/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/compiler.vim'
file.

The original part:

if has('win32')
exec '!start '.viewer.' -s
'.line('.').expand('%:p:t').' '.mainfname

is changed into:

if has('win32')
exec '!start '.viewer.' -s
'.line('.').expand('%:p:t').' '.mainfname.'.dvi'

i.e. I appended the extension '.dvi'. This works in my
case. I do not known whether this can be categorized
as a bug, but it works now for me.
