Running it gives:
$ mtxrun -script texworks -start
MTXrun | unable to locate TeXworks
Though I've texworks on my path:
$ which texworks
/usr/bin/texworks
I found that the file.split_path(os.getenv("PATH")) call returns a table
with single member containing the full PATH variable (it assumes it is a
semicolon separated list, but on linux it is a colon separated list).
Even after getting around this, the executable name it is looking for is
'TeXworks' while it should be 'texworks'.
Regards,
Khaled

The application launches now, but it is of no much use on linux since
all typesetting commands are windows specific (mtxrun.cmd, cmd.exe etc.)

Oh, I knew that, I have a local patch even (from when it was still
TeXworks). I'll send my patch to Hans.
Best wishes,
