make pdf fails on examples.t2t

[ino...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed Tex Live (from Ubuntu repositories) and textallion_2012-11-23_puvis_de_chavannes.zip on Ubuntu 12.04. When i run make pdf, I get the following output

slk@spyder:~/Downloads/textallion/samples$ make pdf

python2 ..//contrib/txt2tags/txt2tags -T ..//templates/latex.tex -t tex --toc --outfile examples.tex examples.t2t

txt2tags wrote /home/slk/Downloads/textallion/samples/examples.tex

pdflatex -interaction batchmode examples.tex

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

entering extended mode

make: [pdf] Error 1 (ignored)

# (the compilation of the latex document is duplicated so the TOC generated the first time will be included the second time)

pdflatex -interaction batchmode examples.tex

make: [pdf] Error 1 (ignored)

# and one again because of makeindex

I'm new to Latex, so not too sure what is going on here. examples.tex is created but no examples.pdf

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

hello,

there is probably a missing LaTeX package.

Did you try to install all LaTeX packages like this? :

apt-get install texlive-base texlive-latex-base texlive-extra-utils texlive-latex-extra texlive-lang-french latexml latex-xcolor tipa texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-xetex

Obviously, it couldn't generate the idx file (on my system it can).

As a workaround, you can remove or comment in ../includes/sample.sty those lines:
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex

AND edit the makefile to remove / comment this line:
-makeindex $(DOCUMENT).idx

You can also run manually the generation of the PDF from the TEX file, like this:

pdflatex examples.tex

so you'll get more informations on the errors.

I hope it will help :)

After some digging around, It seems that the problem was missing packages. examples.log showed a missing paralist.sty file and later after fixing that, a missing aeguill.sty. I did not do a full TexLive install, just a basic. 

Running:

sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra

sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-french

fixed the errors. Thanks for the useful software!

Sorry Eric, did not notice your reply, Found the missing packages and all is well. I will install the others below if I haven't already.

regards,
