This kind of error happens when you say `\if...' and forget

LuaTeX does not provide all primitives of pdfTeX. Many of the missing are implemented by package
pdftexcmdsvia Lua code. Thus the following example makes\pdfstrcmpand\pdffilemoddateavailable for LuaTeX:Further remarks and adaptations for Windows:
Package
svgneeds the shell escape feature. If it is not enabled, then the error would be "./my-svg-filenot found". The feature can be enabled at the command line, e.g.:In MiKTeX the option is also called
--enable-write18.Also an installation of
inkscapeis needed. Ifinkscapeis not in thePATH, then an absolute file name can be specified:ImageMagick is needed for PNG output with
convertin thePATH. Or the absolute file name can be tried, e.g.:Package
svgusespdftopsofxpdffor EPS output; the program can be specified in keypdftops`:The next problem for Windows, is that package
svguses the programsmvfor moving a file andrmfor deleting files. Either the packagesvgneeds to be patched or make a feature request, because these programs are hard-coded insvg.styand cannot be configured by options.Alternatively Cygwin can be installed that should come with these programs.
Then hopefully all obstacles for Windows are successfully solved and the remark from the documentation is rendered false:
Disclaimer: I haven't tried this on Windows, because I am using Linux.
