Installing the current KileOnWindows version (based on the Git repository of
Kile), I found that it works already quite well. Except LivePreview. Searching
with Google I found a lot of reports concerning this bug.
When I studied this problem, I found that the TEXINPUTS variable was set
absolutely wrong, when starting the LivePreview. This variable should contain
at least the temporary LivePreview directory and the directory, which contains
the TEX file. So using Windows it should look like
TEXINPUTS=directory1;directory2
But it looks like
TEXINPUTS=directory1:directory2
In a real example, this environment variable was set to
TEXINPUTS=C:/Users/fritz/AppData/Roaming/.kde/share/apps/kile/livepreview/preview-iIhaaa/:C:/Users/fritz/Documents:
You see, that not ';' is taken as separator using Windows, but ':'. So the TEX
file couldn't be found by Kile's LivePreview.
I attached a fix, which solves this problem. I also sent this patch to the
maintainer of Kile, but didn't get an answer so far.
