What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.

C:\test> type test.tex
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
front matter.
\end{document} 

C:\test>latexdaemon.exe -preamble=no test.tex

What is the expected output?

What do you see instead?

This bug seems to be caused by Miktex/latex itself: you get the same error if you
call latex with the same parameter directly from the command-line:

latex -aux-directory=TeXAux -interaction=nonstopmode
--src-specials " \makeatletter \newwrite\dependfile \immediate\openout
dependfile = "test.dep"
\ifx\DAEMON@ORG@InputIfFileExists@undefined\let\DAEMON@ORG@InputIfFileExists\InputIf
FileExists\fi
\long\def\DAEMON@InputIfFileExists#1#2#3{\immediate\write\dependfile{#1}\DAEMON@ORG@I
nputIfFileExists{#1}{#2}{#3}}
\let\InputIfFileExists\DAEMON@InputIfFileExists \makeatother \input
"test.tex" "

The problem disappears if you remove the space preceding the \makeatletter command!

I have reported the bug to the MikTex page ( https://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detail&aid=2818681&group_id=10783&atid=110783). I will also make appropriate
changes to avoid the problem in the next version of LatexDaemon.

Status: Accepted

Thanks for looking into this.

Incidentally, is there a reason why you use the method of redefining
"\InputIfFileExists" to find the dependencies instead of using miktex's file name
recorder command line option "-recorder"? The resulting .fls file contains full paths
where necessary so it would seem to avoid the "dependency detected but cannot be
opened" problem.

Hi,

It seems the bug is not fixed in the latest SVN revision unfortunately. Would you
mind instructing me how it can be fixed (the code isn't overly clear to me) or
releaseing a patch?

Many thanks,
Alex
