Bonjour,
the file `latex.fmt' is specific to your operating system.
MikTeX runs well under DOS:
it is a good idea to use the cygwin tetex package
if you want to tex under cygwin.
In view to use the texmf tree distributed by MikTeX try (and modify if
necessary):
1] install the cygwin tetex package;
2] move the /usr/share/texmf directory to /usr/share/texmf.original
[ mv /usr/share/texmf /usr/share/texmf.original ]
3] link the MikTeX texmf directory to /usr/share/texmf
[ ln -s /foo/MikTeX/texmf /usr/share/texmf ]
4] and link the original web2c directory:
[ ln -s /usr/share/texmf.original/web2c /usr/share/texmf/web2c ]
5] check that the *.cnf file in the directory /usr/share/texmf/web2c
are unfrozen (read the cygwin documentation for more information);
6] run mktexlsr
Now it should work:
Let know what happens.
Good texing,
Jerome
