Hi

I do

latex2html -external_file somewhere/toolsinstall.aux

but nevertheless I get the error message:

Cannot open toolsinstall.aux No such file or directory

Maybe you should have ../somewhere/toolsinstall.aux .


Relative paths for LaTeX2HTML need to be relative to where
the HTML pages are built. Usually this is a subdirectory of
where the source .tex file is located, hence the '..'.

However, there is the option of setting a  $DESTDIR,
so it cannot be assumed that '..' is always applicable.
(You need to work out the correct relative path, according
to the other options that you use.)


As to your question about a -texinputs option switch, you can use -init_file <file> and have the $TEXINPUTS setting stored there. (In this case, the <file> needs to be the path to the file relative to where the LaTeX2HTML job is initiated, as it is read before any real processing has begun.)

This is certainly a good option to use with a Makefile,
especially when the same Makefile is used to build several
projects that may require different options.


Hope this helps,


Ross



Well,


-external_file

is poorly documented in

latex2html -help

bit the help seems to indicate that is the way to specify an aux file.

Have I misunderstood the

-external_file

option.
