Re: Easymacs correction for Texinfo files editing plus question

Hi Peter, thanks for the new easymacs 1.7!

I tested preview-latex and it works well, as for me I would enable it by
default (after all, it just adds a voice to the menu  for making previews).

Anyway, I found the following two little problems:

1) In order to make preview-latex work under win32 you should add something 
like:
 (when easymacs-w32-system
   (setq-default preview-gs-command "gswin32c")
   (require 'tex-mik))
Of course one has to put Ghostscript in the path. Probably it would be 
better if tex-mik itself took care of properly setting the 
"preview-gs-command" option, but it actually doesn't.

2) When opening a .tex file with preview-latex active, a new icon should be
visible in the tool-bar, but it is void. I couldn't find a good solution,
just the following work-around:
- copy the easymacs/auctex/ directory under easymacs/auctex/auctex/
- copy all the xpm icons from easymacs/auctex/auctex/preview/images/ into
easymacs/auctex/auctex/images/
- change the following easymacs.el lines:
 (add-to-list 'load-path (concat easymacs-dir "auctex/auctex/"))
 (add-to-list 'load-path (concat easymacs-dir "auctex/auctex/preview/"))
- copy the file preview-latex.el in the folder easymacs/auctex/
Unfortunately I couldn't understand why this happens, and why this 
work-around works neither, probably it is related also to the 
"TeX-lisp-directory" and "TeX-data-directory".

This work-around works also if the preview files are moved from 
easymacs/auctex/auctex/preview/ into easymacs/auctex/preview/ (just change 
the load-path command).
Actually the directory structure created installing (with "make install") 
the auctex package would be the following:

site-lisp/ (4 files: auctex.el, preview-latex.el, subdirs.el, tex-site.el)
site-lisp/auctex (auctex files, with all the images site-lisp/auctex/images)
site-lisp/preview (preview files, without images directory).

Anyway, for the rest it works very well. I also found a solution for the 
mouse wheel scrolling customization, but I'll tell you another time, when I 
finish it.

Just one question, do you know how to tell emacs to put latex output and
auxiliary files into a specified directory? (I tried setting the
tex-directory option but it didn't work). Perhaps, should I change the 
executed commands using for instance 
"latex --output-directory=.... --aux-directory=..."?

Bye, Luca
