MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ -enable-write18 not working?

[peterAAA]

Hi,

I'm trying to get pstricks to work in one single conversion by using pdftricks.
Unfortunately it doesn't work, it says it doesn't have write18 support.
My compiler configuration in Texniccenter looks like this:

Code: Select all

D:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin\pdflatex.exe
-enable-write18 -interaction=nonstopmode "%pm"

Minimal Example (which doesn't produce any picture):
http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=p ... #pdftricks

What am i missing?

[...] What am i missing?

Just one single dash for the switch.

Code: Select all

pdflatex --enable-write18 -interaction=nonstopmode jobname.tex

For using pstricks with pdflatex, you may take a look at the auto-pst-pdf package. It is also possible to create a special profile for TeXnicCenter (TXC) when using the pst-pdf package.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Its still not working, same error as before. I attached a logfile of the pdflatex output.

MiKTeX users load the package with option miktex:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[miktex]{pdftricks}

and have to pay attention that they have a directory called \tmp.

I have the same problem. The following code does not work, even if compiled with the --enable-write18 option, and with a \tmp directory in the root. Where should the \tmp directory be? Does anyone know what's wrong?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[miktex]{pdftricks}
\begin{psinputs}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-all}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\end{psinputs}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\caption{The image, converted with \texttt{pdftricks}}

Your sample code works fine for me. Attach the log file produced by this code to your next post. Show where you inserted the command line option in the settings of your editor.
