i.e., the patch that Ralf Wildenhues previously sent out is correct
Ok, I applied the change to system.h, so that NULL_DEVICE will be
/dev/null under Cygwin. Makes sense.
Ralf's texi2dvi changes are clearly not generally applicable. E.g., Eli
has spent a lot of time making Texinfo (and ever
the script needs to initialize IFS
Ok, I put in the initialization. Thanks for the report & explanation.
- I don't know about the NULL_DEVICE and the path_sep setting changes
I don't either, I just do what I'm told :). Whatever the Cygwin folks
say should be done in the Cygwin part of
This line in fmtutil.cnf indicates the problem:
etexpdfetex language.def-translate-file=cp227.tcx
*etex.ini
Either (1) the second word should be changed to "etex", or
(2) it should be arranged for "etex" in invoke pdfetex instead of etex.
E.g., make "etex" a link to pdfet
Ok, you got me curious. How does TeX know what application wrote the file
if it's not "to do with" the contents of that file?
Sorry, I was referring to the one-line source file
\input texinfo @bye
As for the .fmt file, yes, it surely records whether tex, etex, pdfetex,
etc., was used t
if { test -x "$dir/$1" && test -f "$dir/$1"; } ||
{ test -x "$dir/$1.exe" && test -f "$dir/$1.exe"; }; then
This seems sensible. I can't actually test it, since I don't have
either Cygwin or DJPP, but at least it is symmetric.
Stepan, do you have an objection to it?
Thanks,

Back on this thread about texi2dvi and cygwin from a couple weeks ago.
2) On cygwin, if both $dir/tex.exe exists and a directory $dir/tex/ exist,
this function misses the existence of tex.exe.
I don't see why the presence of $dir/tex would affect things.
tex.exe would never be found on cy
Greetings,
Regarding texi2dvi and cygwin, please see if the new version (below) works.
(Akim, I'm cc-ing you since you've worked so much on texi2dvi, not to
mention autoconf, that I figured you might spot problems.)
Thanks,
