General ⇒ Need to close DVI View before new Compilation

[s567]

I am using TeXnicCenter (TXC) and my DVI viewer is Yap. I configured Yap for inverse DVI search by inserting in the command line the following:

"C:\Program Files\TeXnicCenter\TeXnicCenter.exe"
"C:\Program Files\TeXnicCenter\TeXnicCenter.exe" /ddecmd "[goto('%f', '%l')]"

Now, the "Inverse DVI Search" is working but every time that I compile again to DVI I need first to close Yap because otherwise I get error.

How can I fix this problem?

Your Yap inverse search configuration is wrong. It should be (on "command line", and not DDE):

View Project's Output: -1 "%bm.dvi"

Forward Search: -1 -s "%l%bm.tex" "%bm.dvi"

Close Document Before Running Latex: Do not close

HI Martin,

Thanks for answering my question.
But still, what should I do with the configuration that inside the YAP viewer?
There I have:
"C:\Program Files\TeXnicCenter\TeXnicCenter.exe" /ddecmd "[goto('%f', '%l')]"

I did follow your instruction and change my configurations in TeXniCenter
but I still get error once I compile without closing YAP...

For Latex, you need to put:

-src -interaction=nonstopmode "%Wm"

for the command line arguments.

In Yap, you need to put:

/ddecmd "[goto('%f','%l')]"

in the Inverse Search command line arguments.

And what is the error that you get ?

HI,

thanks for your answer. I made the change according to your instruction, but still I get error:

Maybe you should post this problem on the Miktex forums.
