Hi Ross and Nasser and community,

Thanks first of all for your help!

@Ross - the idea with the symbolic links would be fine, but the generated files are not on the web, but should be machine independent and be accessible on any machine independent of the web, which is why all paths have to be relative.

By "any machine", do you mean that you want to copy a whole sub- directory
tree from one place to another?

Then you could use "hard links" ( ln <source> <target>) instead of
symbolic links  ( ln -s <source> <target>)

Or when you make an archive  tar -h   follows symbolic links
and includes the file itself, rather than the link.



I have effectively the same problem as addressed by the following 2 threads:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01914.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01915.html

The second answer with modifying $COPY_GRAPHICS=1 in graphicx.perl has helped me a lot. The files are now copied to the html output directory and are referenced relatively :-) . This only works, however, if the path to the images are entered directly in the includegrpahics command:
\includegraphics{./mypics/install_lic_webfront_mypics}
If I try and access the files via either the $TEXINPUTS (which previously worked with my eps files) or with the \graphicspath{{./ mypics/}}

If the HTML directory is a subdirectory of where the source is located,
this may need to be  \graphicspath{{./mypics/}{../mypics/}} .

Or have a symbolic link to the directory within the HTML directory.

Either of these should ensure that the  $COPY_GRAPHICS=1   branch
of the coding in   graphics-support.perl  has the correct directories
listed in the  $GRAPHICS_PATH  variable.


then the translator tries to convert the pictures and the converted picture (conversion is not necessary; it's only needs to be copied) is a corrupted png :(((((

If I could just get the $TEXINPUTS or \graphicspath to work then things would be great. Do you have any other ideas? Or has anyone else had this problem?

Try the above suggestions.


Thanks loads in advance,

Mark


Hope this helps,

        Ross
