I'm editing a LaTeX file, and want to run an inferior LaTeX on the buffer.
When I do C-c C-b (TeX-buffer), it bombs because it can't find the include
file, which lives in the original directory, not /tmp.
The relevant part of the file looks like:
\documentstyle{letter}
\include{macros}
and C-c C-b generates the output:
cd /tmp/
latex "#tza26720.tex"
TeX 2.1, ArborText Apollo version 2.1.0.7
(//asylum/sys/node_data/tmp/#tza26720.tex
LaTeX Version 2.09 <9 Mar 1987>
(//thalia/local/arbortext/inputs/letter.sty
Document Style 'letter'. Released 5 March 1986
)
No file macros.tex.
Is there a way to tell it to get the includes from the source directory
instead of /tmp? Is this a problem with the Abortext port of TeX?
If I set TeX-directory to "." (the current directory) rather than "/tmp/",
then things work OK, but it's a drag having all those temporary files lying
around.
Thanks in advance...ueda@iias.fujitsu.co.jp (HALuyasu Ueda) (07/20/90)

This also happend on my machine: SUN4.
It is popular problem.
To avoid this, I changed TEXINPUT environment variable for inferrior
shell so that TEXINPUT includes the directory of processed file.
----------original TeX-start-shell in the tex-mode.el-------------------
;;; The utility functions:
(defun TeX-start-shell ()
(require 'shell)
(save-excursion
! (set-buffer (make-shell "TeX-shell" nil nil "-v"))
(setq TeX-shell-map (copy-keymap shell-mode-map))
(TeX-define-common-keys TeX-shell-map)
(use-local-map TeX-shell-map)
(if (zerop (buffer-size))
(sleep-for 1))))
----------And my reviced version ---------------------------------------
(defun TeX-start-shell ()
(require 'shell)
(save-excursion
! (set-buffer (make-shell "TeX-shell"
! (concat exec-directory "env")
! "/dev/null"
! (format "TEXINPUTS=%s:%s"
! (getenv "TEXINPUTS")
! default-directory
! )
! "-"
! "sh" "-v"))
(setq TeX-shell-map (copy-keymap shell-mode-map))
(TeX-define-common-keys TeX-shell-map)
(use-local-map TeX-shell-map)
(if (zerop (buffer-size))
(sleep-for 1))
))
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of cource this still has a problem.
If you edit many tex-files under different directory,
just the first processed directory is available.
However, I haven't experenced such the situation yet.
Because I use '\include{}' just for a big document like Theses or Book,
and I NEVER edit such big documents at the same time.

It would be realy messy.
Then how about specifying temporary file name yourself.
(defvar TeX-zap-file "TEMPORARY"
"Temporary file name used for text being sent as input to TeX.
Should be a simple file name with no extension or directory specification.")
I know this causes problem if you are working on more than one files
at a time. But do you realy do it ?

I got really annoyed with creating temporary files everywhere ... so I wrote something to run TeX on the input file directly. If you're not editing a file, but just writing something small in a buffer, it just runs TeX-buffer. I don't know if this is what you want ... but this is what I use.
