Summary0015198: ps2pdf not detected when cross-compiling
DescriptionHi,

ps2pdf not detected when cross-compiling (and only when cross-compiling), but latex is.

The main difference seems that latex is an executable and ps2pdf14 a script (I am using the standard texlive distribution).
Steps To Reproduce1) decompress the attached archive and launch cmake in the created directory:

cmake . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../ToolChain-i686-w64-mingw32.cmake


2) check the PS2PDF_CONVERTER value in CMakeCache.txt:
//Path to a program.
PS2PDF_CONVERTER:FILEPATH=PS2PDF_CONVERTER-NOTFOUND

Additional Informationps2pdf is detected when no toolchain file is declared
TagsNo tags attached.

The find infrastructure may be trying extensions specific to the target instead of the host.

I don't think extensions are in cause. pdftex est found, but ps2pdf14 not. None has any extension.

One can see in the FindLATEX script of CMake 3.0.2:

 http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/FindLATEX.cmake;hb=v3.0.2#l105 [^]

that in the if(WIN32) block it searches only for names "ps2pdf14.bat ps2pdf" but not plain "ps2pdf14" as it does in the else() block.

I've committed this fix:

 FindLATEX: Search for ps2pdf14 even on Windows
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=63262434 [^]

Please try it out.
