I've been trying to add the –shell-escape argument to my pdflatex
, and right about nothing works. I'll summarize what I've done so far:
- Add –shell-escape to existing
pdflatex.exe
- Add –shell-escape to
\texlive\2013\bin\win32\pdflatex.exe
- The console either gets stuck at "
ABD: EveryShipout initializing macrosgnuplot not recognized
", or - "
Package gnuplottex Warning: Shell escape not enabled. (gnuplottex) You'll need to convert the graphs yourself..
", or - TeXworks produces no PDF
- I have also tried running different compilers such as
miktex-pdftex.exe
,pdftex.exe
, etc. - I'm running the latest MikTeX / TeX distributions, packages, etc. (just updated everything in my TeX Live Manager)
This only seems to be a big deal when I run anything GNUplot
related.
What's going on here?

To long for a comment. Run this document with --shell-escape:
Then check the log file. If you found there
runsystem(echo "hallo")...disabled (restricted)
then--shell-escape
has not been activated. If the message isrunsystem(echo "hallo")...executed.
then everything works and your problem lies somewhere else.
