Externalising TikZ pictures using XeTeX
I'm having some trouble getting the externalize tikz library working correctly with xetex. In "list and make" mode, the tabs in the makefile are replaced by "^^I". It works fine for pdflatex. Is there a command that I messed up?
Here is my example code:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize[prefix=., mode=list and make]
\tikzset{external/system call={xelatex -halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode -jobname "\image" "\texsource"}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture} %
\draw (0,0) -- (1,1);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
And this is the resulting makefile:
ALL_FIGURE_NAMES=$(shell cat minimal.figlist)
ALL_FIGURES=$(ALL_FIGURE_NAMES:%=%.pdf)
allimages: $(ALL_FIGURES)
^^I@echo All images exist now. Use make -B to re-generate them.
FORCEREMAKE:
include $(ALL_FIGURE_NAMES:%=%.dep)
%.dep:
^^Itouch $@ # will be filled later.
.minimal-figure0.pdf:
^^Ixelatex -halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode -jobname ".minimal-figure0" "\def\tikzexternalrealjob{minimal}\input{minimal}"
