[Vim-latex-devel] Tex_RunLaTeX() does not compile new dvi

[Kai L. <les...@pi...>]

Hello, I'm looking for help with invoking latex from VIM-LaTeX
using the "\ll" shortcut.

I've tried to narrow down the problem following the FAQ on
http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net and I'm listing my answers
to the question asked there below in this mail.

The short story is that calling latex from within vim works
fine (using :!latex -interaction=3Dnonstopmode %)
but calling :call Tex_RunLaTeX() does not work, its output is

Running 'bibtex' ...
Ran latex 1 time(s)

but the dvi file does not change.

Thanks in advance, 	Kai

1.What does :echo Tex_CompileRule_dvi say?

This works correctly, I'm getting
   latex -interaction=3Dnonstopmode $*

Execution using
   :!latex -interaction=3Dnonstopmode %
works for both, the toy example and the document that I'm working on.

It does.

It *seems* to run because it returns
   Running 'bibtex' ...
   Ran latex 1 time(s)

but leaves the dvi file unchanged and also it returns too
quickly, so I suspect it didn't really run latex.

If this isn't a typo, it might be your problem.

No, that works for me.

Do you have a file called "makefile" or "Makefile" in your working
directory? If so, do a 

:let Tex_UseMakefile=0

in vim and try again.
See :help Tex_UseMakefile

Cheers

Martin

Because it's the fact (I'm not Kai and I have no difficulties with
complilation of latex files)

It's different, but it seems that $* is substituted by % or %:r.

:h latex-suite.txt

uses allways '$*' as (part of) parameter for the definition of commands.

Hi David.

Sorry about the confusion.

I had removed part of the FAQ to keep my posting short, so when I said

> 1.What does :echo Tex_CompileRule_dvi say?
>  This works correctly, I'm getting
>    latex -interaction=3Dnonstopmode $*

I meant by "this works correctly" that "latex -interaction=3Dnonstopmade=
 $*"
is the correct answer according to the FAQ.

Thanks for your help!	Kai
