Problem with passing arguments to pdflatex

Post by Kepakiano »

Hi there,

I'm trying to enable shell escape in pdflatex with rubber. For this I tried adding

Code: Select all

-c 'set arguments -shell-escape'
to my Makefile and also adding

Code: Select all

% rubber: set arguments -shell-escape
to my preamble. Both had the same effect: pdflatex got called with the argument "- s h e l l - e s c a p e"... so, something added a space after every character of the command I tried to add.

I have found no one having a similar problem... I hope you guys can help me.

Regards,
Kepa

Hi Kepa,

welcome to the forum! Though I answer a bit late. :oops:

Did you manage to solve the problem with rubber? If yes, how?
