#26458: texlive-bin-extra: where is xindy? -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: akim.demaille@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: texlive-bin-extra -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Hi, Thanks for all the efforts! Xindy is producing *much* better indexes than texindex or makeindex. This package seems to provide its support files, but not the executable itself. Well, actually, there is a Perl script here: /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/scripts/xindy/texindy.pl But it does not work {{{ xindy.pl: Cannot locate xindy library directory at /opt/local/share/texmf- texlive/scripts/xindy/xindy.pl line 327. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/local/share/texmf- texlive/scripts/xindy/xindy.pl line 347. }}} Thanks in advance! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26458> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

We should either make it an optional variant on texlive-bin, or put it in a separate port. In either case, texlive-bin-extra shouldn't install the support files without the executable. I'll see about doing this as part of the TL 2010 update (which should be happening soon). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26458#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

The installation went perfectly smoothly. I gave it a quick shot, and it failed on my (large and rich) document. I have to track down to see what's the problem and if it's in my document, or xindy. It works with stock makeindex. {{{ Reading indexstyle... Loading module "/var/folders/qn/qnQcq104GhSx0tghyVh3Gk+++TM/-Tmp-/W4Yo0BLx3X"... Loading module "lang/general/latin9-lang.xdy"...

This seems to be an incompatibility between xindy and the latest hyperref (in TL2010): http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.text.xindy.general/698
{{{ ERROR: CHAR: index 0 should be less than the length of the string ../../../doc/document-aux/bin/texi2dvi: texindy failed }}}
Not sure whether this is caused by the earlier warning, or a separate issue... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26458#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Well, I finally took some time to track this down. It is indeed, unrelated. Cutting down my idx file, the culprit is: {{{ \indexentry {!=@\lstinline []{!=}|hyperpage}{288} }}} So xindy does not like ! in entries that do not start with something. I can understand that, since it can be used as a separator of sub-index entries (see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Indexing for instance). I had never noticed I had a problem there, since makeindex did not complain, but did not issue the index entry, indeed. To summarize: * this is clearly a bug in xindy which forgets to check that the string before ! is not empty * this is clearly a bug in my document and I need to find a means for makeindex/xindy to accept this != entry. I meant to answer here, since Google makes it the best match for {{{ERROR: CHAR: index 0 should be less than the length of the string}}} :) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26458#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
