Package: rubber Version: 1.1-1 Severity: normal Hi!
First, thank you very much for writing and maintaining rubber. This is a
lifesaver for me. I already thought I would have to learn how to write
makefiles. :)
Second, I think I found a problem with user-definded rules. But I may as
well do something wrong. I have a custom rules.ini which rubber tries to
use. It looks like this:
|[gnuplot-tex]
|target = (.*)\.(tex|latex)
|source = \1.dat
|cost = 0
|rule = shell
|command = gnuplot \1.plot; epstopdf \1.eps
|message = running gnuplot to plot data from $source as $target
[This may look a little bit strange, but gnuplot produces an eps file
and a tex file in all my gnuplot scripts with the extension .plot.
Since I use pdftex, I have to convert the eps to pdf to be able to
\includegraphics{} it. I am not yet sure whether I may run two commands
separated by a ";", but I don't think this is related to my problem.]
rubber-info --rules shows the correct dependency (some paths stripped):
|img/results/runtime.tex: img/results/runtime.dat
But when I run "rubber --pdf -f doc" I get:
|running gnuplot to plot data from img/results/runtime.dat as
| img/results/levenshtein-runtime.tex...
| Cannot open load file '\1.plot;'
| line 0: util.c: No such file or directory
|
|'gnuplot' failed
Obviously, rubber doesn't replace \1 with the first group in my target
pattern. I am not a regexp guru but since my pattern looks exactly like
the patterns in the default rules.ini, I think it should work.
Sincerely,
J.
