<div dir="ltr">Hi, thanks for the great program, I just found a problem with the "help" text. When I type "pdftex --help", it states the following:<div><br></div><div> -output-directory=DIR use existing DIR as the directory to write files in<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>But in fact pdftex takes the "=" symbol to be part of the directory name. So if I execute:</div><div><br></div><div> pdftex -output-directory=build/</div><div><br></div><div>the program exits with an error that there is no such directory (it just says "I can't write on the file"). But if I run</div>
<div><br></div><div> pdftex -output-directory build/</div><div><br></div><div>then it works. So the help text is wrong. The equals sign gets removed. Probably the same for all the other "help" entries that indicate an equals sign. Thanks.</div>
