[metapost] how to use mpstoeps on a Windows machine

[Yogeshwarsing Calleecharan]

Hi again,
         I tried to install the new metapost on TL2008 on my Windows machine. I pick the mpost.exe from the windows file (mingw.zip) at http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/metapost/frs/ and replaced the old mpost.exe (v1.005) in my TL2008 with this new mpost.exe (v1.208). Then I ran the command:

fmtutil --byfmt mpost

which I found in an earlier thread. I got: Ok. mpost.exe exists and mypost.mem is created.

I then try to run the new mpost.exe on my mp file. First with the single quotes as you originally gave me and then without the single quotes as you also suggested. I have a Win XP machine. Here are the outputs:


E:\testing\gn\test35\labe>mpost --sprologues=3 -soutputtemplate='"%j-%c.eps"' my
figu.mp

It seems the command outputtemplate is causing problem. Any help would be most appreciated.
