How can I pass the option -synctex=1 (for synctex support) of pdflatex to texi2dvi?

I think you need to create an environment variable called PDFLATEX, which includes the argument(s) you want to pass. Thus, on my machine the following worked.

setenv PDFLATEX "pdflatex -synctex=1"
texi2dvi -p mydocument.tex

Or PDFLATEX="pdflatex -synctex=1" texi2dvi -p file in Bash. Probably it's better to add also the Bash equivalent of exporting an environment variable: there's few of us using tcsh, nowadays. :) – egreg Jul 19 '12 at 9:36
