In epstopdf.pdf one reads:

1.2    Requirements
   - The feature \write18 must be enabled. This allows the running of external
     programs during TEX's compile run. Keep in mind that this is a security
     risk. The feature is an addition to \TeX. MikTEX, teTEX, TEX Live support
     it. In Web2C based TEX distributions (teTEX, TEX Live) it can be enabled
     in the configuration file texmf.cnf:
           shell_escape = 1
     Because of the security risk, it is better to do it on the command line only:
           --shell-escape (teTEX, TEX Live)
           --enable-write18 (MiKTEX)

I guess this is sufficient -> Closing.
