.bst files cannot live in paths with spaces
Reported by: | Georg Baum | Owned by: | poenitz |
---|---|---|---|
Priority: | high | Milestone: | 1.4.4 |

Severity: | normal | Keywords: | patch |

Description
This is a BibTeX limitation. The solution is to copy the .bst files to the temp
dir before running LaTeX, as is done for .bib files, graphics etc.

Georg, could your patch also go into the 1.4 tree?
comment:3 by , 19 years ago
In principal yes, but it is a) Bo's patch, b) you have to ask Jean-Marc and c)
there seems to be a related crash on OS X (see thread "1.5.0svn, Qt2 crash on
typeset" that should be solved IMHO before it goes into 1.4.

Bo, JMarc what's the status of this bug concerning LyX 1.4.3?
comment:6 by , 19 years ago
JMarc, can this go into 1.4.x? This may be the last space-in-path bug ... the
crash on mac was never confirmed.

Bennett, could you test whether this causes crashes in 1.4 on OSX?
comment:13 by , 18 years ago
It doesn't crash on OS X, but it doesn't work either: the bibliography is not
found. Here are the bibliography lines from the produced .tex file:
\bibliographystyle{/Users/bennett/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/jox}
\bibliography{\string"untitled folder/test\string"}
And here is the log file produced when running BibTeX manually:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.6)
The top-level auxiliary file: newfile2.aux
The style file: /Users/bennett/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/jox.bst
White space in argument---line 20 of file newfile2.aux
: \bibdata{"untitled
: folder/test"}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no database files---while reading file newfile2.aux
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "Ackrill1981Aristotle-the-P"
(There were 2 error messages)

Bennett, are you sure this is related to the patch? Actually, you tested a case
where the bibtex (*.bib) file is in a path with spaces, but the patch addresses
a bug where the bibtex style file (*.bst) is in a path with spaces.

Fix in 1.4.4svn too.
Copy bst file to /tmp to solve the problem.
