I am one of the developers on the Mailman project. I am trying to make some minor edits to some of our documentation which is maintained as .tex files and then converted to PostScript, PDF, HTML, etc. with mkhowto. I am working under Cygwin/Windows, and I have the following Cygwin packages installed perl 5.8.7-5 python 2.4.3-1 tetex 3.0.0-3 netpbm 10.30-1 I have also installed latex2html 2002-2-1 (1.71) per <http://docs.python.org/doc/cygwin.html>, and it appears to work just fine if run standalone. I have downloaded the source for Python 2.4.0 and am trying to run the makehowto script. I can successfully run mkhowto -pdf sometexfile.tex but if I try to produce any other output format, either with or without -pdf in the same run, I always encounter the error pdfTeX error (ext1): \pdfinfo used while \pdfoutput is not set. <argument> { \def \\{, } \pdfinfo { /Author (\@author ) /Title (\@title ) } } l.12 \maketitle No pages of output. I tried running 'make' in the distribution Python-2.4/Doc/ directory, and I get the same error there too. The offending \def appears to be in Python-2.4/Doc/texinputs/howto.cls. My questions are am I doing something wrong or have I failed to do a necessary step? Can these tools be run on Cygwin at all? Do I need a different (older/newer) version of something? -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro@value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
