Bug 107240 – media-gfx/xfig-3.2.5_alpha5 does not export correctly the PDF/Latex combo

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Raimondo Giammanco 2005-09-26 00:16:47 UTC]

Hello, 

 I just tried the last version of Xfig and it cannot export correctly 
the combined pdf/latex combo. It produces only a .pdf and the
message console produces the following warning:

###############
Error during EXPORT.  Messages:
 Argument -b unknown to latex driver.
###############

Step to Reproduce
1. Open Xfig and select a .fig file
2. Export to pdf/latex
3.

Expected result:
a .pdftex and a .pdftex_t file.

Obtained 
a .pdf file

Using tetex-3.0-r3.

Going back to 3.2.4 for now

[Comment 1 Marcelo Goes (RETIRED) 2005-10-01 16:43:37 UTC]

I added xfig-3.2.5_alpha5 to package.mask (felt guilty since I committed it ;-),
if anyone has the time to fix it, you are free to take it out.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-04-01 22:50:44 UTC]

Try w/ 3.2.5 please.
