Created attachment 128600 [details] kilerc file for running Kile using WSL Hey, SUMMARY I am trying to use Kile on Windows 10, while Latex is installed into a WSL 1 running Ubuntu 18.04. WSL allows to start any Linux app using `wsl <linux app>` from Windows, so pdflatex can be started using `wsl pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %source`. Windows and UNIX paths can be easily converted using `wslpath`. Everything works, expect to build the BibTeX for the LivePreview. Once I copy the .bib file to the temporary location, used for the LivePreview, building the LivePreview works as well. I do not understand what happens during LivePreview, but it looks like Kile misses to copy the .bib file to the temporary folder? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install WSL and texlive-full, 2. Install Kile, 3. Apply the attaches kilerc 4. Try to use the LivePreview OBSERVED RESULT bibtex fails for the LivePreview only: ***** ***** BibTeX output: ***** cd "C:/Users/Gocht/AppData/Local/Temp/kile-livepreview.ZhnBlo" ***** wsl bibtex paper ***** This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2017/Debian) The top-level auxiliary file: paper.aux The style file: IEEEtran.bst I couldn't open database file paper.bib ---line 76 of file paper.aux : \bibdata{paper : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command I found no database files---while reading file paper.aux EXPECTED RESULT That BibTeX finds the .bib file ;-) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 (Installed from Windows Store) Linux/KDE Plasma: n.a.
