[Omake] Problem building PDFs on Mac OS X

[Aleksey Nogin]

Markus,

This error message does not make much sense. Is it possible that the
editor you use for .tex files on Mac OS X would temporarily delete the
.tex file (e.g first rename it to a backup name) before writing the new
version? If so, then OMake might get confused, although the error
message still does not quite make sense.

Perhaps you could run it with -debug-rule (and possibly -debug-notify as
well) and see if you could capture a bit more debugging information?
Also, are you using 0.9.8.5? Could you perhaps see if you can reproduce
it with the latest 0.9.8 SVN?

Thanks!

Aleksey
