Emacs ends up trying to run commands like 'xelatex %(extraopts) --synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "\input" example.tex'
And is unhappy about the (extraopts) bits, i.e. reports: '/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected' I imagine it's something in my setup, as I had (some time ago) adjusted the LaTeX commands in order to (try to) get forward and reverse sync to work. -- Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting a bug report. In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an up-to-date version of AUCTeX. So please upgrade to the version available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your installation is older than the one available from the web site. If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it in your report. Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.7) of 2014-03-07 on lamiak, modified by Debian Package: 2014-04-16 current state: ============== (setq AUCTeX-date "2014-04-16" window-system 'x LaTeX-version "2e" TeX-style-path '("/home/slade/.local/var/auctex" "/home/slade/elisp/auctex/auctex/style" "/home/slade/.emacs.d/auctex/auto" "/home/slade/.emacs.d/auctex/style" "auto" "style") TeX-auto-save t TeX-parse-self t TeX-master nil TeX-command-list '(("Latexmk" "latexmk %(-PDF) -synctex=1 %s" TeX-run-TeX nil t :help "Run Latexmk on file to build everything.")
