open-x11 didn't work properly for me. E.g I couldn't launch xdvi from
the AucTeX menu of carbon emacs. So I had to change it a little to a
new script
start-x11 which looks like this:
----------------------------------><---------------------
#!/bin/bash
BASENAME=${0##*/}
function usage()
{
cat <<HELP
USAGE:
start-x11 programm [parameter ...]
Das Programm ruft das X11-Tool "programm" auf und übergibt ggf. die
"parameter" an dieses. Dabei wird ggf. zuerst X11 gestartet und die
notwendigen Pfade werden eingerichtet.
SYMLINKS:
Symlinks wurden eingeführt, um die Programme aus dem AucTeX Menü von
Emacs starten zu können. Es gibt die folgenden:
launch-xdvi ist "start-x11 xdvi parameter"
launch-gv ist "start-x11 gv parameter"
HELP
exit 0
}
if [ $# = 0 ]; then usage; fi
# Ist X11 schon da?
lsof | grep X11 > /dev/null
if [ "$?" = "1" ]; then
echo "Wait until X11 has started..."
open -a X11.app
sleep 3
fi
# DISPLAY Variable ggf. setzen
if [ "x$DISPAY" = "x" ]; then
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
fi
# notwendige Pfade setzen:
for d in /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/X11 /usr/local/bin/X11 ; do
if [ -d $d ]; then
case $PATH in
'') PATH=$d
;;
$d|$d:*|*:$d|*:$d:*)
: do nothing
;;
*) PATH=$PATH:$d
;;
esac
fi
done
export PATH
# Programm starten
case $BASENAME in
launch-xdvi)
xdvi $@
;;
launch-gv)
gv $@
;;
*) prog=$1; shift
"$prog" "$@" &
;;
esac
----------------------------------><---------------------
It first looks if X11 is running and starts it if not. Then it looks for
the PATH as open-x11 does. The symlinks launch-x11 and launch-gv were
used to start these apps in AucTeX.
