[AUCTeX] Re: Getting SyncTeX working on GNU/Linux

It is a script written for Emacs. . .
Frankly, direct Synctex-support for specific viewers has /not/ seemed like the 
scope of AUCTeX so far. As I am sure you know, one will also need scripts when 
using Skim[1] or Sumatra pdf[2].
As you can tell from the above a script is needed on other platforms to 
archive full synctex support. Thus, it is natural to assume that the same is 
needed on GNU/Linux. If you can provide a direct way of sending synctex-info 
to the viewer please share it.

I do not have Emacs on this pc. Thus, I was only able to find a patch (for the 
manual) and I was not able to find anything useful in it.

I have set tex-output-view-style for ^.pdf to 
evince %o -p %(outpage) -a
This will open the relevant page but it will not highlight the active line.

Cheers,
Rasmus
