Hi all, as this is the mail I found when I first searched in for XP and latex2html, I'll try responding with my experiences from this thread.
I run WinXP, and I have installed Miktex, in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.6 (so in a path with spaces). I don't believe I have a separate version of ghostscript installed. I have Texmaker installed and running OK. I found a copy of perl on some installation of cygwin I've had, but that didn't work for me - I had to install ActivePerl (ActivePerl-5.10.0.1002-MSWin32-x86-283697.zip) in C:\Perl. All the changes I had to make are in two patch files, generated by a Gnuwin32 version of diff. You can apply the patches if you install the gnuwin32 version of diff and patch, and put the location of the bin folder of gnuwin32 in your PATH in environment variables in XP. Otherwise, the patch file are not very big and the changes can be made by hand - provided that the patch files should be edited anyways to make sure the paths to your Miktex installations match. The patches are in relation to latex2html-2002.tar.gz, and make sure you edit them so you enter the correct short and long paths to your installation. Apart from the changes outlined here, I followed the tutorial http://feynman.faii.etsii.upm.es/~seidel/l2h/l2h_eng.html So, I downloaded latex2html-2002.tar.gz, and expanded it into C:\latex2html-2002. So, basically, the first patch is here: http://pastebin.com/f2bdc11f8 - download and save as C:\latex2html-2002.patch then, inside the command terminal (Run / cmd): cd C:\ patch -p0 -i latex2html-2002.patch then you can configure: cd latex2html-2002 config.bat everything should run fine, apart from checking for pnmflip... no checking for ppmquant... no (which seem to be deprecated nowadays) as soon as config is ran, then the other patch should be ran - download from here: http://pastebin.com/f32591586 and save it as C:\postconfig.patch. Again, edit the directories to match your installations - note that again it deals mostly with the format of the quotaion marks for the directories with spaces in them ... apply the patch: cd C:\ patch -p0 -i postconfig.patch then you can try to run test.bat - it should generate the webpage nodes, displaying a formula as an image, complaining only with: Unknown commands: formulas basicinc then you can run install.bat, the only problem should be initexmf: This utility does not accept non-option arguments. You could then try to build the examples - but you will need the Gnu make utility - the gnuwin32 make does the trick.. For instance, I tried (assuming my install dir is C:\bin\latex2html) cd C:\bin\latex2html\docs\hthtml C:\bin\latex2html\docs\hthtml>\bin\gnuwin32\bin\make.exe (assuming the bin of gnuwin32 is in C:\bin\gnuwin32\bin\) I'm getting an error at the end: process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, while grep "Rerun to get cross-references rig ht" hthtml.log; do latex hthtml.tex; done, ...) failed. make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified. make: *** [hthtml.dvi] Error 2 otherwise, trying the installed batch file: \bin\latex2html\bin\latex2html.bat intro.tex works nicely with simple tex files so far, except for an occasional error like: $* is no longer supported at \bin\latex2html\bin\latex2html.bat line 10553. Well, hope this can help someone - otherwise, if anyone has any ideas about the errors above, it would be nice to read about them... Cheers
