GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 651263
Synctex Forward search does not work with PDF files generated from lualatex
Last modified: 2011-06-14 19:14:30 UTC
Currently lualatex adds the source files like this. ./sourcefile.tex instead of just the relative path or the absolute path, which is not processed correctly by Evince, hence Forward Search does not work in this case.
The problem is in the synctex parser... The last version from TexLive is more broken. I mailed synctex author regarding the issue.
This has been fixed by commit 05a78e in master branch.
