Re: [AUCTeX] LaTeX-equation-label with file-dependent prefix

[Shan]

Hi Tassilo,

I did compile from the git source. It seems that the problem is from another local variable: TeX-master. In my case, without the master file, the label did change as expected. Otherwise, auctex won't give a prefix. It simply ask user input without any suggestion.

In addition to that, is it possible for auctex (reftex) to suggest an equation number as the old simple equation label? In other words, the auctex will suggest test:eq:1 instead of test:eq: in the test.tex file.

Thanks a lot!

What sources?  The current master branch from Git or some release?  (But
I think that should work also with at least 11.87.)

You could try with the Git version.

  $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git
  $ cd auctex
  $ ./autogen.sh
  $ ./configure
  $ make          # no need to "make install"

And then in your .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/auctex/")
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/auctex/preview/")
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
(setq TeX-data-directory "/path/to/auctex/")
(add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "/path/to/auctex/doc")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bye,
Tassilo
