See this article about Perl from PowerShell for more information about quoting differences basically, just use double quotes instead - in this case. By the way, if you're using cmd.exe instead of PowerShell, these one-liners will fail. If you are using Windows and have associated the extension of the file with Perl, typing (that is, without calling perl first) will also launch the script. Where is the name of the script you want to run. The version of PAR::Packer I currently have in the test environment is '''1.010''' and the PAR version is '''1.002''' as shown below. Free activeperl 5.12.3 build 1204 download software at UpdateStar - ActivePerl is the industry-standard Perl distribution, available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX. To run your Perl scripts, enter the following command at the command prompt: perl -w. Then issue the following command to install PAR::Packer from CPAN (this took like 15-20 minutes for me, on a Core 2 Quad 2.8 GHz, maxing one core): I copied testfile.InstallingFirst, install PAR and MingW with ppm:įrom PowerShell or cmd.exe (I recommend PowerShell), issue the following commands, in this order - or at least make sure you run the last CPAN command '''after''' MingW is successfully installed, because you need dmake for compiling: Great!Ĭool take all my money! Now lets test it. Perl is the interpreter, %~dp0\rmligs gives the the full path to the script, and %1 to %9 are the arguments provided to the. Go to the rmligs directory (in my case, C:\paulo\softwares\rmligs) then create a file called rmligs.cmd (I'm a fan of. As you can see, if you have bla.exe and bla.bat in the path, the first one will be executed because it has a higher priority. Those are the files which can be executed in the command prompt and their order. There's a system variable called PATHEXT, if I echo it (it might be different on your computer): C:\Users\Paulo>echo %PATHEXT% It didn't work you bastard! I'll explain why. (Sorry, my Windows is in Portuguese, but I hope you get the idea) :) I usually prefer to change my user variables instead of the system variables, so double-click the PATH variable under user variables, go to the end of the line, type and add the full path we set in the previous step: As Canageek mentioned, go to Control Panel -> System and Security\System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment settings. Now, lets add that directory to the Windows path. If I dir my directory, I have: 18:54 359 BUGS In my case, I extracted to C:\paulo\softwares\rmligs. I suggest to avoid spaces in directory names. So, first things first:Įxtract the content of rmligs-0.84.tar.gz to a folder. How do the system know if a command is available? A search in the path. In order to run commands on an arbitrary folder, they need to be "known" by the operating system. My answer has nothing to do with TeX at all, but I hope to answer your question. I'm not an advanced command line user nor a Perl programmer or anything, I installed Perl in the first place to use latexmk. C:\mtpak\scripts\rmligs\perl\ ( C:\mtpak\ is my local/personal/custom root, which works for other additions.)Īfter each of these attempts, I refreshed the file name database, but calling perl rmligs foo.tex or rmligs foo.tex didn't work.C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\scripts\rmligs\.C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\scripts\rmligs\perl\.I tried putting all the rmligs files in a directory in different places, seeking to follow the texmf tree order: How do I make rmligs globally available, so that I can use it no matter in which directory I am? Now I tried to make the script available globally, just like e.g. Using Windows command prompt, rmligs runs successfully when I'm in the directory where the file rmligs (without a file extension) is, typing perl rmligs testfile.tex. Since it isn't available through MiKTeX (and neither through TeX Live), I downloaded the archive manually and unpacked it. Hopefully on-topic as about " (La)TeX related software and tools"
