relative path to the (La)TeX Compiler

Post by bernchr »

Is there a possibility for the "path to the (La)TeX Compiler" as a relative one?
As I use a protable Version of TeXnicCenter this would avoid a new configuration of the profile at every new computer.

Regards

Christian

Hi! I have not been able to use relative paths, but I have been able to make the path relative to the drive just removing the drive letter. So, if your TeXnicCenter is looking for in
F:\folder\latex.exe

You can ask it to look for in
\folder\latex.exe

This expression works, but I don't know if it works after changing the drive letter.
