Conversion Tools ⇒ latexmk problem

[mrbohn1]

I'm trying to get Latexmk to work...I'm using Windows 7 and Winedt for editing tex, and have installed latexmk correctly I believe (certainly when I do the test command latexmk --version it gives the correct output). Also perl is installed and working.

Now, let's just say my .tex file is called foo.tex. Whenever I go to the containing directory and try the command:

Code: Select all

latexmk -pvc -pdf foo

I get the following output (which I have slightly abridged):

Code: Select all

Can't spawn "cmd.exe": no such file or directory at latexmk.pl line 7679.
Latexmk: fls file does not appear to have been made
Latexmk: Errors, so I did not complete making targets

Error summary: Command for 'pdflatex' gave return code 65280

Tried reinstalling latexmk, and a different version of perl...all to no avail.

Any help much appreciated...I've wasted an entire afternoon trying to sort this out!
