make latexpdf

[bradley...@gmail.com]

I am trying to figure out how to reproduce

    make latexpdf

with separate calls to first build the latex and then run pdflatex. I want to do this so I can directly modify the latex between the sphinx-build and pdflatex (to accomplish things that are not supported by sphinx).

I am using

    sphinx-build -b latex . _build/latex

    cd _build/latex

    pdflatex <project_value>.tex

where <project_value> is the value of project in my conf.py. When I do this I get the error message

    No file <project_value>.ind

and the index is missing from my pdf.

What am I missing here ?

Hi,

You need to run pdflatex command multiple times to build complete PDF file.
For more detail, please read the following article.
https://www.systutorials.com/why-do-i-need-to-run-latex-bibtex-three-times-to-make-everything-look-good/

Instead of pdflatex command, you can use `make` command under the
_build/latex directory.
It invokes pdflatex multiple times automatically. I hope it helps you.

Thanks,
Takeshi KOMIYA

Thanks for the response. I knew one has to run pdflatex twice (when any of the links change) and should have put that in my report above. I did not know three times was necessary in some cases. Unfortunately, this does not fix the problem; i.e., the following

    rm -r _build

    sphinx-build -b latex . _build/latex

    cd _build/latex

    pdflatex <project_value>.tex

    pdflatex <project_value>.tex

    pdflatex <project_value>.tex

has the same result
    No file <project_value>.ind

in the file file

    _build/latex/<project_value>.log

and the index is not in the file

    _build/latex/<project_value>.pdf

I added the

    rm -r _build

because you must first delete the old _build directory to test this. If you don't, the old <project_value>.ind file from the previous

    make latexpdf

gets used by the

    pdflatex <project_value>.tex

command.

The following seems to work for me:

    rm -r _build

    sphinx-build -b latex . _build/latex

    cd _build/latex

    make <project_value>.pdf

Thanks KOMIYA-san for mentioning that make inside _build/latex handles pdflatex multiple times, as I've been manually doing this for years, ha.

There is still something more than just run pdflatex multiple times that make inside _build/latex does because the index is missing if one only runs pdflatex. I discussed this in more detail in my second message above.
