\section{Description}
|

\label{sec:Description}
|
|
|
|
Compiling \latex files into readable documents is actually a very
|
|
involved process. Although CMake comes with \textfile{FindLATEX.cmake},
|
|
it does nothing for you other than find the commands associated with
|
|
\latex. I like using CMake to build my \latex documents, but creating
|
|
targets to do it is actually a pain. Thus, I've compiled a bunch of
|
|
macros that help me create targets in CMake into a file I call
|
|
``\UseLATEX.'' Here are some of the things \UseLATEX handles:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Runs \latex multiple times to resolve links.
|
|
\item Can run \textprog{bibtex}, \textprog{makeindex}, and
|
|
\textprog{makeglossaries} to make bibliographies, indexes, and/or
|
|
glossaries.
|
|
\item Optionally runs configure on your \latex files to replace
|
|
\textcmake{@\textvar{VARIABLE}@} with the equivalent CMake variable.
|
|
\item Automatically finds png, jpeg, eps, pdf, svg, tiff, gif, bmp, and
|
|
other image files and converts them to formats \textprog{latex} and
|
|
\textprog{pdflatex} understand.
|
|
\item Reduces \latex's overly verbose output and searches for messages
|
|
that are more likely to require attention.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|

\section{Basic Usage}
|
|
\label{sec:BasicUsage}
|
|
|
|
Using \UseLATEX is easy. For a basic \latex file, simply include the file
|
|
in your \textfile{CMakeLists.txt} and use the \ald command to make
|
|
targets to build your document. For an example document in the file
|
|
\textfile{MyDoc.tex}, you could establish a build with the following
|
|
simple \textfile{CMakeLists.txt}.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
project(MyDoc NONE)
|
|
|
|
include(UseLATEX.cmake)
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
The \ald adds the following targets to create a readable document from
|
|
\textfile{MyDoc.tex}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[\textmaketarget{dvi}] Creates \textfile{MyDoc.dvi}.
|
|
\item[\textmaketarget{pdf}] Creates \textfile{MyDoc.pdf} using
|
|
\textprog{pdflatex}. Requires the \textcmakevar{PDFLATEX\_COMPILER}
|
|
CMake variable to be set.
|
|
\item[\textmaketarget{ps}] Creates \textfile{MyDoc.ps}. Requires the
|
|
\textcmakevar{DVIPS\_CONVERTER} CMake variable to be set.
|
|
\item[\textmaketarget{safepdf}] Creates \textfile{MyDoc.pdf} from
|
|
\textfile{MyDoc.ps} using \textprog{ps2pdf}. Many publishers prefer
|
|
pdfs are created this way. Requires the
|
|
\textcmakevar{PS2PDF\_CONVERTER} CMake variable to be set.
|
|
\item[\textmaketarget{html}] Creates html pages. Requires the
|
|
\textcmakevar{HTLATEX\_COMPILER} CMake variable to be set.
|
|
\item[\textmaketarget{clean}] To CMake's default \textmaketarget{clean}
|
|
target, the numerous files that \latex often generates are added.
|
|
\item[\textmaketarget{auxclean}] Deletes the auxiliary files from
|
|
\latex, but not the generated input files. Sometimes \latex gets
|
|
itself in a bad state where the auxiliary files need to be deleted to
|
|
successfully build again, and this target does that without also
|
|
deleting other build files (such as converted image files or files
|
|
from unrelated targets in the same directory).
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
One caveat about using \UseLATEX is that you are required to do an
|
|
out-of-source build. That is, CMake must be run in a directory other than
|
|
the source directory. This is necessary as latex is very picky about file
|
|
locations, and the relative locations of some generated or copied files
|
|
can only be maintained if everything is copied to a separate directory
|
|
structure. For more details and hints on workarounds, see the
|
|
``\hyperref[sec:Why_does_UseLATEX_have_to_copy_my_tex_files]{Why does
|
|
\UseLATEX have to copy my tex files?}'' frequently asked question in
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:Why_does_UseLATEX_have_to_copy_my_tex_files}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Using a Bibliography}
|
|
\label{sec:UsingABibliography}
|
|
|
|
For any technical document, you will probably want to maintain a \bibtex
|
|
database of papers you are referencing in the paper. You can incorporate
|
|
your .bib files by adding them after the \textcmake{BIBFILES} argument to
|
|
the \ald command.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex BIBFILES MyDoc.bib)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
This will automatically add targets to build your bib file and link it
|
|
into your document. To use the \bibtex file in your \latex file, just do
|
|
as you normally would with \textlatex|\cite| commands and bibliography
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
\bibliographystyle{plain}
|
|
\bibliography{MyDoc}
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
You can list as many bibliography files as you like.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Incoporating Images}
|
|
\label{sec:IncoporatingImages}
|
|
|
|
To be honest, incorporating images into \latex documents can be a real
|
|
pain. This is mostly because the format of the images needs to depend on
|
|
the version of \latex you are running (\textprog{latex}
|
|
vs. \textprog{pdflatex}). With these CMake macros, you only need to
|
|
convert your raster graphics to png or jpeg format and your vector
|
|
graphics to eps or pdf format. Place them all in a common directory
|
|
(e.g. images) and then use the \textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS} option to the \ald
|
|
macro to point to them. \UseLATEX will take care of the rest.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
If you want to break up your image files in several different
|
|
directories, you can do that, too. Simply provide multiple directories
|
|
after the \textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS} option.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS icons figures
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you could list all of your image files separatly with the
|
|
\textcmake{IMAGES} option.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
set(MyDocImages
|
|
logo.eps
|
|
icons/next.png
|
|
icons/previous.png
|
|
figures/flowchart.eps
|
|
figures/team.jpeg
|
|
)
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
IMAGES ${MyDocImages}
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
%$
|
|
|
|
For every image file specified and found with the \textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS} and \textcmake{IMAGES} options, \UseLATEX adds makefile targets to use ImageMagick's \textprog{magick} or \textprog{convert} to convert the file types to those appropriate for the build.\footnote{The \textprog{convert} program was essentially renamed \textprog{magick} in ImageMagick 7.0. Most, but not all, recent installations provide both. \UseLATEX looks for both just in case.}
|
|
If you do not have ImageMagick, you can get it for free from \href{http://www.imagemagick.org}{http://www.imagemagick.org}.
|
|
CMake will also give you a \textcmakevar{LATEX\_SMALL\_IMAGES} option that, when on, will downsample raster images.
|
|
This can help speed up building and viewing documents.
|
|
It will also make the output image sizes smaller.
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX will occasionally use a conversion program other than
|
|
ImageMagick's \textprog{magick}. For example, \textprog{ps2pdf} will be
|
|
used when converting eps to pdf to get around a problem where ImageMagick
|
|
drops the bounding box information. When available, the
|
|
\textprog{pdftops} from the Poppler utilities will be used to convert pdf
|
|
to eps because it better preserves vector graphics and color spaces. At
|
|
any rate, you do not need to worry about setting the appropriate image
|
|
conversion program. \UseLATEX will automatically select the best one and
|
|
issue errors or warnings if there is a problem.
|
|
|
|
The \textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS} option tries to identify image files by their
|
|
extensions. The current list of image extensions \UseLATEX checks for is:
|
|
.bmp, .bmp2, .bmp3, .dcm, .dcx, .ico, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .eps, .pdf,
|
|
.pict, .png, .ppm, .tif, and .tiff. If you are trying to use an image
|
|
format that is supported by ImageMagick but is not recognized by
|
|
\UseLATEX, you can specify the files directly with the \textcmake{IMAGES}
|
|
option instead. \UseLATEX will assume that any file specified with the
|
|
\textcmake{IMAGES} option is an image file regardless of its extension.
|
|
|
|
Both the \textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS} and \textcmake{IMAGES} can be used
|
|
together. The combined set of image files will be processed. If you wish
|
|
to provide a separate eps file and pdf or png file, that is OK,
|
|
too. \UseLATEX will handle that by copying over the correct file instead
|
|
of converting.
|
|
|
|
Depending on what program is launched to build your \latex file (either
|
|
\textprog{latex} or \textprog{pdflatex}, and \UseLATEX supports both), a
|
|
particular format for your image is required. As stated, \UseLATEX
|
|
handles the necessary conversions for you. However, you will not know in
|
|
advance what file extension is used on the image. That is no problem.
|
|
Simply leave out the file extension in the file name argument to
|
|
\textlatex|\includegraphics| and \latex will find the file with the
|
|
appropriate extension for you.
|
|
|
|
Note that in order to ensure that the resulting image files are placed in
|
|
the appropriate directory, you are required to give \emph{relative} paths
|
|
for images and image directories. For example, \textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS
|
|
\$\{CMAKE\_CURRENT\_SOURCE\_DIR\}/images} will fail. Use
|
|
\textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS images} instead.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Selecting a Default Build}
|
|
\label{sec:SelectingADefaultBuild}
|
|
|
|
By default, when you use \ald and then run make with no arguments,
|
|
\textprog{pdflatex} is used to create a pdf file. You can of course
|
|
always specify a target described at the top of
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:BasicUsage} to build a different document
|
|
format. However, for convenience you can change the default build.
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX defines the CMake variable \textcmakevar{LATEX\_DEFAULT\_BUILD}
|
|
that controls which build is performed by default. Valid values for this
|
|
variable are \textcmake{pdf}, \textcmake{dvi}, \textcmake{ps},
|
|
\textcmake{safepdf}, and \textcmake{html}. This variable is usually
|
|
initialized to \textcmake{pdf}, but you can override this behavior by
|
|
setting the \textcmakevar{LATEX\_DEFAULT\_BUILD} environment variable
|
|
before the first configuration. Thus, if you have a preference for a
|
|
particular default build, you can set your system environment to use it
|
|
by default for all \UseLATEX builds.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Force a Type of Build}
|
|
\label{sec:ForceATypeOfBuild}
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX does its best to make \latex builds as portable as possible,
|
|
but there might be a number of technical reasons why a particular
|
|
document can only be built using one type of system. If that is the case,
|
|
it is best if the configuration only supports one type of build.
|
|
|
|
\ald has several options to force the document generation to a particular
|
|
type of build. If you give the option \textcmake{FORCE\_PDF}, only the
|
|
pdf targets that use the \textprog{pdflatex} command are created.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
FORCE_PDF
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
Likewise, the \textcmake{FORCE\_DVI} option restricts \ald to targets that
|
|
use the \textprog{latex} command. In addition to building dvi files,
|
|
\textcmake{FORCE\_DVI} also allows ps generation from the dvi files and
|
|
``safe'' pdf generation from the ps files.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
FORCE_PS
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
Finally, the \textcmake{FORCE\_HTML} option will restrict targets that are
|
|
used for html generation.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
FORCE_HTML
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
The behavior is undefined if more than one force option is given.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Create Nothing by Default}
|
|
\label{sec:CreateNothingByDefault}
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it is desirable to disable the building of your \latex document
|
|
by default (that is, not build it with the \textmaketarget{all} target).
|
|
This is convenient when including \latex documentation with some other
|
|
source to build such as when you are documenting a library. To remove
|
|
all targets from the default, simply add the
|
|
\textcmake{EXCLUDE\_FROM\_ALL} option to \ald.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{\synctex-Enabled Editors}
|
|
\label{sec:SynctexEnabledEditors}
|
|
|
|
Some implementations of \latex compilers have a feature called \synctex
|
|
that allows an editor or viewer to link between the compiled version of
|
|
the document (such as a pdf) and the original \latex source code. The
|
|
most common way to do this is to add \textprog{-synctex=1} to the
|
|
\textprog{pdflatex} command. This will create a file named
|
|
\textfile{\emph{$\langle$base-name$\rangle$}.synctex.gz} where each part
|
|
of the final document points to the original \latex files.
|
|
|
|
However, there is a problem. \UseLATEX copies all of the input \latex
|
|
source files to an out-of-source build directory (see
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:Why_does_UseLATEX_have_to_copy_my_tex_files} for more
|
|
information on why). But the \latex compiler does not know that. Thus,
|
|
the created \textfile{\emph{$\langle$base-name$\rangle$}.synctex.gz} will
|
|
point to the temporary files in the build directory rather than your
|
|
original source files.
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX can add commands to the make targets that ``correct'' the
|
|
\textfile{\emph{$\langle$base-name$\rangle$}.synctex.gz}. To add these
|
|
commands, simply turn on the \textcmakevar{LATEX\_USE\_SYNCTEX} in
|
|
\textprog{ccmake} or equivalent CMake configuring tool. When this option
|
|
is on, the \textprog{-synctex=1} argument is added to the \latex compile
|
|
commands (settable with the \textcmakevar{LATEX\_SYNCTEX\_FLAGS}
|
|
variable) and a command is added to targets that will find files in
|
|
\textfile{\emph{$\langle$base-name$\rangle$}.synctex.gz} and change their
|
|
paths to the original files in the source directory.
|

\section{Package Support}
|
|
\label{sec:PackageSupport}
|
|
|
|
Modern \latex distributions provide a great many packages to provide
|
|
additional features to the document building process. A great many more
|
|
packages are available in online package distributions. The vast
|
|
majority of these packages provide features that are self contained
|
|
within the \latex call itself. That is, the build process does not have
|
|
to change to accommodate these packages.
|
|
|
|
That said, there are a small number of packages that require
|
|
supplementary programs to be run or to otherwise change the build
|
|
process. These packages require special options to \ald, which are
|
|
documented here.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Making an Index}
|
|
\label{sec:MakingAnIndex}
|
|
|
|
You can make an index in a \latex document by using the
|
|
\textlatexpackage{makeidx} package. However, this package requires you to
|
|
run the \textprog{makeindex} program. Simply add the
|
|
\textcmake{USE\_INDEX} option anywhere in the \ald arguments, and
|
|
\textprog{makeindex} will automatically be added to the build.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
USE_INDEX
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Making Multiple Indexes}
|
|
\label{sec:MakingMultipleIndexes}
|
|
|
|
The \textlatexpackage{multind} package allows you to create multiple
|
|
indexes in a single \latex document. For example, when documenting a
|
|
software library you might want to have a general index of terms and a
|
|
second index of function names.
|
|
|
|
The way the \textlatexpackage{multind} package works is that it creates a
|
|
separate index file for each of the indexes being created, and the
|
|
\textprog{makeindex} program must be run independently on each of them.
|
|
To get \UseLATEX to run \textprog{makeindex} on all of the required index
|
|
file, list all of the indexes created with the \textcmake{INDEX\_NAMES}
|
|
option of \ald. For example, in a \latex document that declares two
|
|
indexes like the following
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
\usepackage{multind}
|
|
\makeindex{general}
|
|
\makeindex{functions}
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
you would name the indexes in \ald like the following.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
USE_INDEX
|
|
INDEX_NAMES general functions
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Making a Glossary}
|
|
\label{sec:MakingAGlossary}
|
|
|
|
There are multiple ways to make a glossary in a \latex document, but the
|
|
\textlatexpackage{glossaries} package provides one of the most convenient
|
|
ways of doing so. Like the \textlatexpackage{makeidx} package,
|
|
\textlatexpackage{glossaries} requires running \textprog{makeindex} or
|
|
\textprog{xindy} for building auxiliary files. However, building the
|
|
glossary files can be more complicated as there can be different sets of
|
|
glossary files with different extensions. \UseLATEX will handle that for
|
|
you. It does it in a way similar to the \textprog{makeglossary} command,
|
|
but in a more portable way. Simply add the \textcmake{USE\_GLOSSARY}
|
|
option anywhere in the \ald arguments, and the glossary creating will be
|
|
handled for you.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
USE_GLOSSARY
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Nomenclature Support}
|
|
\label{sec:NomenclatureSupport}
|
|
|
|
The \textlatexpackage{nomencl} package provides a mechanism to collect
|
|
nomenclature and print it together in a single section. The
|
|
\textlatexpackage{nomencl} behaves very similarly to
|
|
\textlatexpackage{glossaries} (described in
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:MakingAGlossary}) including running the
|
|
\textprog{makeindex} command. However, the arguments to
|
|
\textprog{makeindex} are a bit different (to avoid clashes with creating
|
|
glossaries), and unfortunately \textlatexpackage{nomencl} provides no
|
|
hints in the auxiliary file about it. Thus, \UseLATEX provides a special
|
|
\textcmake{USE\_NOMENCL} option to \ald to add the necessary commands to
|
|
build the nomenclature.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
USE_NOMENCL
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that this feature only works with
|
|
\textlatexpackage{nomencl} version 4.0 or later. The
|
|
\textlatexpackage{nomencl} package changed how \textprog{makeindex} is
|
|
called to make it compatible with indices and glossaries. The correct
|
|
version of \textlatexpackage{nomencl} is easily identified as the one
|
|
that uses the \textlatex|\makenomenclature| and
|
|
\textlatex|\printnomenclature| commands (as opposed to the old
|
|
\textlatex|\makeglossary| and \textlatex|\printglossary| commands). If
|
|
you are using an older version of \textlatexpackage{nomencl}, you are
|
|
best off to update for a number of reasons.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{\textlatexpackage{multibib} Support}
|
|
\label{sec:multibibSupport}
|
|
|
|
The \textlatexpackage{multibib} package provides a mechanism to create a
|
|
set of distinct bibliographies that are not necessarily associated with
|
|
sections of the document. Part of the operation of this package creates
|
|
multiple \latex auxiliary files that need to be processed independently
|
|
with \bibtex. Consequently, the build needs to be modified to run
|
|
\bibtex multiple times with different inputs. This can be achieved with
|
|
the \textcmake{MULTIBIB\_NEWCITES} argument to \ald.
|
|
|
|
As an example, consider the following usage of the
|
|
\textlatexpackage{multibib} package, partially taken from its
|
|
documentation. It creates a set of distinct citation commands named
|
|
\textlatex|own|, \textlatex|submitted|, and \textlatex|internal| with the
|
|
section heads \textlatex|Own Work|, \textlatex|Submitted Work|, and
|
|
\textlatex|Master Theses and Ph.D. Theses| respectively. They
|
|
collectively use the bibliography files \textfile{own.bib},
|
|
\textfile{submitted.bib}, \textfile{techreports.bib}, and
|
|
\textfile{theses.bib}.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
\newcites{own,submitted,internal}%
|
|
{Own Work,%
|
|
Submitted Work,%
|
|
{Technical Reports, Master Theses and Ph.D. Theses}}
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}

\end{CodeListing}
|

\end{CodeListing}
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
\bibliographyinternal{techreports.bib,theses.bib}
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
The three suffixes specified to the \textlatex|\newcite| command and the
|
|
four bibliography files referenced must all be specified in the \ald
|
|
command with the \textcmake{MULTIBIB\_NEWCITES} and \textcmake{BIBFILES}
|
|
arguments, respectively.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES own.bib submitted.bib techreports.bib theses.bib
|
|
MULTIBIB_NEWCITES own submitted internal
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{\textlatexpackage{biblatex} Support}
|
|
\label{sec:biblatexSupport}
|
|
|
|
The \textlatexpackage{biblatex} package provides an alternate mechanism
|
|
for building bibliographies that has many options not available to the
|
|
standard bibliography commands. The package (typically) requires an
|
|
external program named \textprog{biber}, which is an alternative to the
|
|
standard \textprog{bibtex} command.
|
|
|
|
Thus, to support the \textlatexpackage{biblatex} package, the build
|
|
system must run \textprog{biber} instead of \textprog{bibtex}. This is
|
|
done simply with \UseLATEX by adding the \textcmake{USE\_BIBLATEX} option
|
|
to \ald.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex

\section{Advanced Configurations}
|
|
\label{sec:AdvancedConfigurations}
|
|
|
|
This document has heretofore described using \UseLATEX for a single
|
|
\latex document and associated files (bibliographies, images, indices,
|
|
etc.). However there are many configurations to document building that
|
|
extend beyond this simple scenario including multipart files, multiple
|
|
documents, and depended builds.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Multipart \latex Files}
|
|
\label{sec:MultipartLatexFiles}
|
|
|
|
Often, it is convenient to split a \latex document into multiple files
|
|
and use the \latex \textlatex|\input| or \textlatex|\include| command to
|
|
put them back together. To do this, all the files have to be located
|
|
together. \UseLATEX can take care of that, too. Simply add the
|
|
\textcmake{INPUTS} argument to \ald to copy these files along with the
|
|
target tex file. Build dependencies to these files is also established.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
INPUTS Chapter1.tex Chapter2.tex Chapter3.tex Chapter4.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
USE_INDEX
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
As far as \UseLATEX is concerned, input files do not necessarily have to
|
|
be tex files. For example, you might be including the contents of a text
|
|
file into your document with the \textlatex|\VerbatimInput| command of
|
|
the \textlatexpackage{fancyvrb} package. In fact, you could also add
|
|
graphic files as inputs, but you would not get the extra conversion
|
|
features described in Section~\ref{sec:IncoporatingImages}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Configuring \latex Files}
|
|
\label{sec:ConfiguringLatexFiles}
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it is convenient to control the build options of your tex file
|
|
with CMake variables. You can achieve this by using the
|
|
\textcmake{CONFIGURE} argument to \ald.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
INPUTS Chapter1.tex Chapter2.tex Chapter3.tex Chapter4.tex
|
|
CONFIGURE MyDoc.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
USE_INDEX
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
In the above example, in addition to copying \textfile{MyDoc.tex} to the
|
|
binary directory, \UseLATEX will configure \textfile{MyDoc.tex}. That is,
|
|
it will find all occurrences of \textcmake{@\textvar{VARIABLE}@} and
|
|
replace that string with the current CMake variable
|
|
\textcmakevar{\textvar{VARIABLE}}.
|
|
|
|
With the \textcmake{CONFIGURE} argument you can list the target tex file
|
|
(as shown above) as well as any other tex file listed in the
|
|
\textcmake{INPUTS} argument.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex
|
|
INPUTS Ch1Config.tex Ch1.tex Ch2Config.tex
|
|
Ch2.tex Ch3Config Ch3.tex
|
|
CONFIGURE Ch1Config.tex Ch2Config.tex Ch3Config.tex
|
|
BIBFILES MyDoc.bib
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS images
|
|
USE_INDEX
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
Be careful when using the \textcmake{CONFIGURE} option. Unfortunately,
|
|
the \textlatex|@| symbol is used by \latex in some places. For example,
|
|
when establishing a tabular environment, an \textlatex|@| is used to
|
|
define the space between columns. If you use it more than once, then
|
|
\UseLATEX will erroneously replace part of the definition of your columns
|
|
for a macro (which is probably an empty string). This can be particularly
|
|
troublesome to debug as \latex will give an error in a place that, in the
|
|
original document, is legal. Hence, it is best to only configure tex
|
|
files that contain very little text of the actual document and instead
|
|
are mostly setup and options.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Building Multiple \latex Documents}
|
|
\label{sec:BuldingMultipleLatexDocuments}
|
|
|
|
The most common use for \UseLATEX is to build a single document, such as
|
|
a paper you are working on. However, some use cases involve building
|
|
several documents at one time.
|
|
|
|
Multiple \latex documents in the same CMake project can be created by
|
|
simply calling \ald multiple times. Each call to \ald will create its own
|
|
set of unique targets that will be added as dependencies of
|
|
\textmaketarget{dvi}, \textmaketarget{pdf}, \textmaketarget{ps},
|
|
\textmaketarget{safepdf} and \textmaketarget{html}.
|
|
|
|
Consider the following code.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc1.tex)
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc2.tex)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
In the example above, the first call to \ald will create targets named
|
|
\textmaketarget{MyDoc1\_dvi}, \textmaketarget{MyDoc1\_pdf},
|
|
\textmaketarget{MyDoc1\_ps}, etc. whereas the second call will create
|
|
targets named \textmaketarget{MyDoc2\_*}. Calling \textmaketarget{dvi},
|
|
\textmaketarget{pdf}, etc. will execute the respective targets for the
|
|
two documents.
|
|
|
|
The \textcmake{EXCLUDE\_FROM\_DEFAULTS} option suppresses these links to the
|
|
document's targets.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc1.tex)
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc2.tex)
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc3.tex EXCLUDE_FROM_DEFAULTS)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
In this augmented example, MyDoc1 and MyDoc2 are built when targets such
|
|
as \textmaketarget{dvi} and \textmaketarget{pdf} are called, but MyDoc3
|
|
is not. Note, however, that in this example MyDoc3 is still built as part
|
|
of the \textmaketarget{all} target that CMake sets as the default build
|
|
target. Use \textcmake{EXCLUDE\_FROM\_ALL} to remove a document from the
|
|
default \textmaketarget{all} build. \textcmake{EXCLUDE\_FROM\_ALL} and
|
|
\textcmake{EXCLUDE\_FROM\_DEFAULTS} can be used together or
|
|
independently.
|
|
|
|
An issue that can come up in larger builds with multiple \latex documents
|
|
is a name collision. If two subdirectories each have a \latex document
|
|
with the same \textfile{.tex} file in it, then the respective calls to
|
|
\ald will create the same target names, which CMake does not allow. One
|
|
way around this problem is to rename the files to be unique (so that \ald
|
|
will create unique target names). But a more convenient way is to use the
|
|
\textcmake{TARGET\_NAME} option to change the target names. For example,
|
|
consider the following use of \textcmake{TARGET\_NAME}.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(doc.tex TARGET_NAME MyDoc1)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
This will change the behavior of \ald to create targets named
|
|
\textmaketarget{MyDoc1\_dvi}, \textmaketarget{MyDoc1\_pdf},
|
|
\textmaketarget{MyDoc1\_ps}, etc. instead of \textmaketarget{doc\_dvi},
|
|
\textmaketarget{doc\_pdf}, \textmaketarget{doc\_ps}, etc.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Identifying Dependent Files}
|
|
\label{sec:IdentifyingDependentFiles}
|
|
|
|
In some circumstances, CMake's configure mechanism is not sufficient for
|
|
creating input files. Input \latex files might be auto-generated by any
|
|
number of other mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
If this is the case, simply add the appropriate CMake commands to generate the input files, and then add that file to the \textcmake{DEPENDS} option of \ald.
|
|
To help you build the CMake commands to place the generated files in the correct place, you can use the LATEX\_GET\_OUTPUT\_PATH convenience function to get the output path.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
latex_get_output_path(output_dir)
|
|
|
|
add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${output_dir}/generated_file.tex
|
|
COMMAND tex_file_generate_exe
|
|
ARGS ${output_dir}/generated_file.tex
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
add_latex_document(MyDoc.tex DEPENDS generated_file.tex)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Adding Include Directories}
|
|
\label{sec:AddingIncludeDirectories}
|
|
|
|
It is usually best practice to collect \latex input files in a single directory with a logical set of subdirectories, which can be referenced within the \latex document using relative paths.
|
|
However, it is sometimes convenient to search for files in directories other than the build directory.
|
|
|
|
For example, let us say that we have two reports that you want to combine into a single combined report.
|
|
For any number of technical reasons, it could be desirable to place the two original reports untouched in subdirectories and have the tex file for the combine report in the main directory and including the sub-reports.
|
|
However, if those sub-reports are including files that are relative to their respective subdirectories, for example including images for figures, then \latex will produce an error because it will be looking for those files in the main directory.
|
|
|
|
We can get around this problem by using the \textcmake{INCLUDE\_DIRECTORIES} option to \ald.
|
|
Simply add the subdirectories to the \textcmake{INCLUDE\_DIRECTORIES} list and \latex will look for included files locally in those directories.
|
|
Here is an example of how that might look to include image files.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
add_latex_document(UberReport.tex
|
|
INPUTS report1/Report1.tex report2/Report2.tex
|
|
IMAGE_DIRS report1/images report2/images
|
|
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES report1 report2
|
|
)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
Note that the \textcmake{INCLUDE\_DIRECTORIES} option should be used with care.
|
|
If a file with the same name exists in multiple included directories, \latex might not pick up the file you are expecting.
|
|
(\latex will first look in the build directory, then the directories listed in \textcmake{INCLUDE\_DIRECTORIES} in the order given, and then system directories.)
|
|
Thus, in the previous example if both reports had image files with the same name, the second report will likely include images from the first report.
|
|

\section{Frequently Asked Questions}
|
|
\label{sec:FrequentlyAskedQuestions}
|
|
|
|
This section includes resolutions to common questions and issues
|
|
concerning use of \UseLATEX and with \latex in general.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{How do I process \latex files on Windows?}
|
|
\label{sec:How_do_I_process_latex_files_on_Windows}
|
|
|
|
I have successfully used two different ports of LaTeX for windows: the
|
|
\href{http://www.cygwin.com/}{cygwin} port
|
|
(\href{http://www.cygwin.com/}{http://www.cygwin.com/}) and the
|
|
\href{http://www.miktex.org/}{\miktex} port
|
|
(\href{http://www.miktex.org/}{http://www.miktex.org/}).
|
|
|
|
If you use the cygwin port of \latex, you must also use the cygwin port
|
|
of CMake, make, and ImageMagick. If you use the \miktex port of \latex,
|
|
you must use the CMake from
|
|
\href{http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html}{http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html},
|
|
the ImageMagick port from
|
|
\href{http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows}{http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php\#windows},
|
|
and a native build tool like MSVC or the GNU make port at
|
|
\href{http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/}{http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/}.
|
|
\emph{Do not use the ``native'' CMake program with any cygwin programs or
|
|
the cygwin CMake program with any non-cygwin programs.} This issue at
|
|
hand is that the cygwin ports create and treat filenames differently then
|
|
other windows programs.\footnote{If you are careful, you can use the
|
|
cygwin version of make with the windows ports of CMake, \latex, and
|
|
ImageMagick. It is an easy way around the problems described in
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:Why_is_convert_failing_on_Windows}.}
|
|
|
|
Also be aware that if you have images in your document, there are
|
|
numerous problems that can occur on Windows with the ImageMagick
|
|
\textprog{convert} program. See
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:Why_is_convert_failing_on_Windows} for more information.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{How do I process \latex files on Mac OS X?}
|
|
\label{sec:How_do_I_process_latex_files_on_Mac_OS_X}
|
|
|
|
Using \latex on Mac OS X is fairly straightforward because this OS is
|
|
built on top of Unix. By using the Terminal program or X11 host, you can
|
|
run \latex much like any other Unix variant. The only real issue is that
|
|
\latex and some of the supporting programs like CMake and ImageMagick are
|
|
not typically installed (whereas on Linux they often are).
|
|
|
|
Most applications port fairly easily to Mac OS so long as you are willing
|
|
to use them as typical Unix or X11 programs. To make things even easier,
|
|
I recommend taking advantage of a Mac porting project to make this
|
|
process even easier. \href{http://www.macports.org}{MacPorts}
|
|
(\href{http://www.macports.org}{http://www.macports.org}) is a good tool
|
|
providing a comprehensive set of tool ports including \latex, CMake, and
|
|
ImageMagick. The \href{http://www.finkproject.org/}{fink project} and
|
|
\href{http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/}{FinkCommander}
|
|
(\href{http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/}{http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/})
|
|
is a similar although less active project.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{How do I process with \xelatex?}
|
|
\label{sec:How_do_I_process_with_XeLaTeX}
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX was not designed with \xelatex in mind, but the
|
|
interface of that program is similar enough to \latex that you should be
|
|
able to use it. Simply change the \textcmakevar{PDFLATEX\_COMPILER} CMake
|
|
variable to the \textprog{xelatex} program and build the
|
|
\textmaketarget{pdf} target.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{How do I process with \lualatex?}
|
|
\label{sec:How_do_I_process_with_LuaLaTeX}
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX was not designed with \lualatex in mind, but the
|
|
interface of that program is similar enough to \latex that you should be
|
|
able to use it. Simply change the \textcmakevar{PDFLATEX\_COMPILER} CMake
|
|
variable to the \textprog{lualatex} program and build the
|
|
\textmaketarget{pdf} target.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Why does \UseLATEX have to copy my tex files?}
|
|
\label{sec:Why_does_UseLATEX_have_to_copy_my_tex_files}
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX cannot process your tex file without copying it. As explained
|
|
in Section~\ref{sec:BasicUsage}, \latex is very picky about file locations.
|
|
The relative locations of files that your input files point to, and all
|
|
but the most simple \latex files point to other files, must remain
|
|
consistent.
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX will often have to modify at least one file either through
|
|
configurations or image format and size conversions. When creating new
|
|
files, \UseLATEX will have to copy either all of the files or none of the
|
|
files. Since configuring and writing over an original file is
|
|
unacceptable, \UseLATEX forces you to configure it such that \latex
|
|
builds in a different directory than where you have placed the original.
|
|
If you do not specify a seperate directory, you get an error like the
|
|
following.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
CMake Error at UseLATEX.cmake:377 (MESSAGE):
|
|
LaTeX files must be built out of source or you must set
|
|
LATEX_OUTPUT_PATH.
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
The best way around this problem is do an ``out of source'' build, which
|
|
is really the preferred method of using CMake in general. To do an out
|
|
of source build, create a new build directory, go to that directory, and
|
|
run cmake from there, pointing to the source directory.
|
|
|
|
If for some reason an out of source build is not feasable or desireable,
|
|
you can set the \textcmakevar{LATEX\_OUTPUT\_PATH} variable to a
|
|
directory other than \textfile{.} (the local directory). If you are
|
|
building a \latex document in the context of a larger project for which
|
|
you wish to support in source builds, consider pragmatically setting the
|
|
\textcmakevar{LATEX\_OUTPUT\_PATH} CMake cache variable from within your
|
|
\textfile{CMakeLists.txt}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{How can \latex find a file not a tex, image, or bibliography?}
|
|
\label{sec:How_can_latex_find_a_file_not_a_tex_image_or_bibliography}
|
|
|
|
The most common files included from a \latex tex file are other tex
|
|
files, images, and bibliographies, all of which are handled with options
|
|
to \ald.
|
|
|
|
But what happens if the \latex build includes some other type of file?
|
|
For example, the \textlatexpackage{fancyvrb} package can import a text
|
|
file with the \textlatex|\VerbatimInput| command to be formatted in a
|
|
teletype font. Other examples occur, such as program formatting packages
|
|
that can read in source code files.
|
|
|
|
As far as \UseLATEX is concerned, these types of files are simply other
|
|
inputs to \latex and handled in the same way as included tex files. They
|
|
can be included by adding them to the \textcmake{INPUTS} argument as
|
|
described in Section~\ref{sec:MultipartLatexFiles}.
|
|
|
|
If an inputted file does not immediately exist but is generated by some
|
|
other process, then the file should be generated in the output directory
|
|
and added to the \textcmake{DEPENDS} of the build as described in
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:IdentifyingDependentFiles}.

\subsection{Why is convert failing on Windows?}
|
|
\label{sec:Why_is_convert_failing_on_Windows}
|
|
|
|
Assuming that you have correctly downloaded and installed an appropriate
|
|
version of ImageMagick (as specified in
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:How_do_I_process_latex_files_on_Windows}), there are several
|
|
other problems that users can run into the created build files attempt to
|
|
run the \textprog{magick} or \textprog{convert} program.
|
|
|
|
A common error is that \textprog{magick} or \textprog{convert} not finding a file that is clearly there.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
convert: unable to open image `filename'
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
If you notice that the drive letter is stripped off of the filename
|
|
(i.e. \textfile{C:}), then you are probably mixing the Cygwin version of
|
|
\textprog{convert} with the non-cygwin CMake. The cygwin version of
|
|
\textprog{convert} uses the colon (:), as a directory separator for
|
|
inputs. Thus, it assumes the output file name is really two input files
|
|
separated by the colon. Switch to the non-cygwin port of ImageMagick to
|
|
fix this.
|
|
|
|
If you are using nmake, you may also see the following error:
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
convert.exe: unable to open image `C:': Permission denied.
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
I don't know what causes this error, but it appears to have something to
|
|
do with some strange behavior of nmake when quoting the convert
|
|
executable. The easiest solution is to use a different build program
|
|
(such as make or MSVC's IDE or a unix port of make). If anyone finds away
|
|
around this problem, please contribute back.
|
|
|
|
Another possible error seen is
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
Invalid Parameter - filename
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
This is probably because CMake has found the wrong \textprog{convert} program.
|
|
Windows is installed with a program named \textprog{convert} in \textfile{\%SYSTEMROOT\%$\backslash$system32}.
|
|
This \textprog{convert} program is used to change the filesystem type on a hard drive.
|
|
Since the windows \textfile{convert} is in a system binary directory, it is usually found in the path before the installed ImageMagick \textfile{convert} program.
|
|
(Don't get me started about the logic behind this.)
|
|
Make sure that the \textcmakevar{IMAGEMAGICK\_CONVERT} CMake variable is pointing to the correct \textprog{convert} program.
|
|
Or better yet, make sure you have ImageMagick 7.0 or higher and use the \textprog{magick} program instead of \textprog{convert}.
|
|
Recent versions of \UseLATEX should give a specific warning about this with instructions on how to fix it.

\subsection{How do I automate plot generation with command line programs?}
|
|
\label{How_do_I_automate_plot_generation_with_command_line_programs}
|
|
|
|
\latex is often used in conjunction with plotting programs that run on
|
|
the command line like \textprog{gri} or \textprog{gnuplot}. Although
|
|
there is no direct support for these programs in \UseLATEX, it is
|
|
straightforward to use these programs.
|
|
|
|
One way to use a plotting program is simply to run it yourself to
|
|
generate the plot and then incorporate the image file into your \latex
|
|
document as you would any other image file (see
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:IncoporatingImages}). This the easiest way to
|
|
incorporate these plots since it does not require additional CMake code.
|
|
It also ensures consistency of how the plot looks (often the plots will
|
|
look different if created on different platforms), and it provides the
|
|
opportunity to edit the image to make it look better for publication.
|
|
|
|
Another way to use these plotting programs is to automatically run them
|
|
when building the \latex document. This is convenient if you frequently
|
|
change the data you are plotting or if you are creating many plots. To
|
|
automate running the plotting program build one or more targets to
|
|
generate these files and then add these targets as \latex dependencies
|
|
(see Section~\ref{sec:IdentifyingDependentFiles} for information on
|
|
adding dependencies). Here is an example of creating the targets for
|
|
converting a directory of \textprog{gri} files and incorporating the
|
|
resulting files in a \latex document.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}

\subsection{Why does make stop after each image conversion?}
|
|
\label{sec:Why_does_make_stop_after_each_image_conversion}
|
|
|
|
There is a bug in the ImageMagick convert version 6.1.8 that
|
|
inappropriatly returns a failure condition even when the image convert
|
|
was successful. The problem might also occur in other ImageMagick
|
|
versions. Try updating your installation of ImageMagick.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{How do I resolve \textbackslash{}write 18 errors with \textlatexpackage{pstricks} or \textlatexpackage{pdftricks}?}
|
|
\label{sec:How_do_I_resolve_write_18_errors_with_pstricks_or_pdftricks}
|
|
|
|
A \textlatex|\write18| command is \latex's obtuse syntax for running a
|
|
command on your system. Commands in the \textlatexpackage{pstricks} and
|
|
\textlatexpackage{pdftricks} packages may need to run commands on your
|
|
system to, for example, convert graphics from one format to another.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, allowing \latex to run commands on your system can be
|
|
considered a security issue. Some versions of \latex such as \miktex
|
|
disable the feature by default. Thus, in order to use packages that rely
|
|
on \textlatex|\write18|, you may have to enable the feature, typically
|
|
with a command line option. For \miktex, this command line option is
|
|
\textcmake{--enable-write18}.
|
|
|
|
You can instruct \UseLATEX to pass any flag to \latex by adding it to the
|
|
\textcmakevar{LATEX\_COMPILER\_FLAGS} CMake variable. One way to do this
|
|
is through the CMake GUI. Simply go to the advanced variables, find
|
|
\textcmakevar{LATEX\_COMPILER\_FLAGS}, and add
|
|
\textcmake{--enable-write18} (or equivalent flag) to the list of
|
|
arguments.
|
|
|
|
You can also automatically add this flag by setting the flag in your
|
|
\textfile{CMakeLists.txt} file. For example:
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
set(LATEX_COMPILER_FLAGS
|
|
"-interaction=nonstopmode --enable-write18"
|
|
CACHE STRING "Flags passed to latex."
|
|
)
|
|
include(UseLATEX.cmake)
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
The disadvantage of this latter approach is the reduction of portability.
|
|
This addition could cause a failure for any \latex implementation that
|
|
does not support the \textcmake{--enable-write18} flag (for which there
|
|
are many).
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Why is \UseLATEX complaining about image file names?}
|
|
\label{sec:Why_is_UseLATEX_complaining_about_image_file_names}
|
|
|
|
If you have an image file with a filename that contains multiple periods,
|
|
for example \textfile{my.image.pdf}, \UseLATEX will issue a warning like
|
|
the following.
|
|
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
Some LaTeX distributions have problems with image file names
|
|
with multiple extensions or spaces. Consider changing
|
|
my.image.pdf to something like my-image.pdf.
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
|
|
This is because, just as the warning reports, some versions of \latex
|
|
have problems with including image filenames with multiple extensions.
|
|
For example, if you tried to include \textfile{my.image.pdf} with a
|
|
command like
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
\includegraphics{my.image}
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
then some versions of \latex will respond that the image extension
|
|
\textfile{.image} is not recognized or that the file \textfile{my.image}
|
|
is not found because it fails to look for files with valid extensions.
|
|
|
|
Although it is inadvisable (per Section~\ref{sec:IncoporatingImages}),
|
|
you might try to get around the problem by specifying the extension like
|
|
this.
|
|
\begin{CodeListing}
|
|
\includegraphics{my.image.pdf}
|
|
\end{CodeListing}
|
|
This might work, or it might just make \latex complain that it does not
|
|
recognize images with extension \textfile{.image.pdf}.
|
|
|
|
In the end, the best solution is to simply use filenames that will not
|
|
trouble \latex. Even though some \latex distributions (like \mactex)
|
|
seem to handle this extension ambiguity correctly, others clearly do
|
|
not. Thus, even if your \latex distribution handles these image
|
|
filenames correctly, it is still a bad idea in case you need to change
|
|
distributions or build on other computers. Your best course of action is
|
|
to simply heed the warning and rename your files.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Why are there no \textcmake{FORCE\_PS} or \textcmake{FORCE\_SAFEPDF} options?}
|
|
\label{sec:Why_are_there_no_FORCE_PS_or_FORCE_SAFEPDF_options}
|
|
|
|
Because you should just use the \textcmake{FORCE\_DVI} option instead.
|
|
|
|
Both the \textmaketarget{ps} and \textmaketarget{safepdf} targets are
|
|
built by first creating a \textfile{.dvi} file using the standard
|
|
\textprog{latex} program. The \textfile{.dvi} file is then converted to
|
|
\textfile{.ps} and subsequently to a \textfile{.pdf} file. Thus, you can
|
|
just enable the \textcmake{FORCE\_DVI} option to force \UseLATEX on this
|
|
build path.
|
|
|
|
The force options are really disabling compile paths that do not work for
|
|
your document. For example, \textprog{pdflatex} does not support all
|
|
postscript packages, so that program can fail for some documents. The
|
|
\textcmake{FORCE\_DVI} ensures that the document can only be built in
|
|
ways that support the postscript features.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Why is my image file not being automatically converted?}
|
|
\label{sec:Why_is_my_image_file_not_being_automatically_converted}
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX has the ability to find image files and automatically convert
|
|
them to a format \latex understands. Usually this conversion happens with
|
|
the ImageMagick \textprog{magick} program.
|
|
|
|
Users occasionally report that image formats that should be supported
|
|
because ImageMagick can convert them are ignored by \UseLATEX. This can
|
|
happen even when the \textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS} option points to the
|
|
directory containing the image files.
|
|
|
|
The problem here is that \UseLATEX only considers files in
|
|
\textcmake{IMAGE\_DIRS} directories that it identifies as a bona fide
|
|
image. This prevents \UseLATEX from picking up another type of file, such
|
|
as a README text file, and erroneously trying to do image conversion on
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
\UseLATEX checks for image files by looking for a known set of image
|
|
extensions. This extension list is maintained separately from
|
|
ImageMagick's extension list and is generally a small subset of all the
|
|
potential formats ImageMagick supports. Consequently, it is possible for
|
|
\UseLATEX to ignore an image file that could be converted.
|
|
|
|
You can work around this problem by specifying images independently with
|
|
the \textcmake{IMAGES} option. \UseLATEX will assume any image specified
|
|
under the \textcmake{IMAGES} option is in fact an image that can be
|
|
converted with ImageMagick regardless of the extension. See
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:IncoporatingImages} for more details.
|
|
|
|
If there is a file extension that you think should be added to the list
|
|
of image extensions to check, send a note to the \UseLATEX maintainers.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Why is the \textcmake{MANGLE\_TARGET\_NAMES} option deprecated?}
|
|
\label{sec:Why_is_the_MANGLE_TARGET_NAMES_option_deprecated}
|
|
|
|
The original concept for \UseLATEX was part of a build system for a
|
|
single document. As such, \ald created generically named targets (like
|
|
\textmaketarget{dvi} and \textmaketarget{pdf}). This became problematic
|
|
when \UseLATEX was used in larger projects that built multiple targets.
|
|
The multiple documents would each try to create their own
|
|
\textmaketarget{dvi}, \textmaketarget{pdf}, etc. targets, and this would
|
|
create CMake errors when they conflicted with each other.
|
|
|
|
To solve this problem, in 2006 the \textcmake{MANGLE\_TARGET\_NAMES} was
|
|
added to \ald. When this option was given, \ald would create ``mangled''
|
|
targets that are unique to the name of the document so that they would
|
|
not conflict with each other.
|
|
|
|
This option solved the problem for projects building multiple documents,
|
|
but a couple of undesirable elements were later discovered. The first was
|
|
that \latex documents built with the \textcmake{MANGLE\_TARGET\_NAMES}
|
|
option were never built by default. To build the document, the user had
|
|
to specifically request the target, which had an unwieldy name, to be
|
|
built or to explicitly set up dependencies to those targets. The second
|
|
and more serious issue was that if a project incorporated one or more
|
|
sub-projects (not uncommon) and more than one of these projects used
|
|
\UseLATEX, you were likely to get conflicting targets again.
|
|
|
|
Consequently, in 2015 a change was made to \ald to mangle all targets.
|
|
The \UseLATEX package establishes a single set of default target names
|
|
(\textmaketarget{dvi}, \textmaketarget{pdf}, etc.), and \ald sets up
|
|
dependencies from these default targets to the mangled target names.
|
|
Thus, when \UseLATEX is used for a single document, the same simple
|
|
targets work fine. When multiple documents are added, the default targets
|
|
are automatically set up for all documents without conflicts. See
|
|
Section~\ref{sec:BuldingMultipleLatexDocuments} for more details on
|
|
building multiple \latex documents in a project.
|
|
|
|
So, \textcmake{MANGLE\_TARGET\_NAMES} is deprecated because it is
|
|
redundant. All targets are mangled. The only difference is that \ald
|
|
establishes dependencies to the default target names. If these dependency
|
|
targets are not desired, use the \textcmake{EXCLUDE\_FROM\_DEFAULTS}
|
|
option. (Once again, see Section~\ref{sec:BuldingMultipleLatexDocuments}
|
|
for more details.)
|
|
|
|
\subsection{What is the point of the default \latex arguments?}
|
|
\label{sec:What_is_the_point_of_the_default_latex_arguments}
|
|
|
|
The \latex commands (e.g. \textprog{latex} and \textprog{pdflatex}) were originally designed to be run interactively.
|
|
The \textfile{tex} file is fed to the interpreter and verbose responses are generated.
|
|
When an error is encountered, \latex stops and provides a prompt to type commands to resolve the problem.
|
|
This interactive mode of building a \latex file is problematic when attempting to automate it in a batch or build system.
|
|
Thus, the \textcmakevar{LATEX\_COMPILER\_FLAGS} and \textcmakevar{PDFLATEX\_COMPILER\_FLAGS}, which contain the command line flags passed to the \latex program, are initialized to modify the behavior to work better in a build system.
|
|
|
|
The first flag added is \mbox{\textcmake{-interaction=batchmode}}.
|
|
This flag does two major things.
|
|
The first thing this flag does is hide most of the \latex output.
|
|
A typical \latex build contains extremely verbose status messages that provide all sorts of useless information.
|
|
Any important information (like a syntax error) is easily lost.
|
|
Instead, you have to consult the \textfile{.log} file to see the full output.
|
|
Because important warnings can be hidden along with the unimportant, \UseLATEX performs several greps of the log file after the build to look for the most important warnings encountered with \latex.
|
|
|
|
The second thing the \mbox{\textcmake{-interaction=batchmode}} flag does is to change the behavior of \latex when an error occurs.
|
|
Rather than enter an interactive prompt, the \latex program simply quits.
|
|
This is how pretty much every build system expects a compiler to behave.
|
|
|
|
The second flag added is \mbox{\textcmake{-file-line-error}}.
|
|
For some odd reason the default behavior of \latex is to simply print out a message and leave it you to trace the location of the error.
|
|
Instead, this flag instructs \latex to prepend the filename and line number to every error to simplify finding the error.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Why do the \textprog{ps2pdf} arguments have the \textcmake{\#} character in them?}
|
|
\label{sec:Why_do_the_ps2pdf_arguments_have_the_hash_character_in_them}
|
|
|
|
When calling the \textprog{ps2pdf} program, it is typical to use several arguments that are passed to the underlying ghostscript system.
|
|
These arguments often take the form of an option followed by an equal (\textcmake{=}) character and then the value for that option.
|
|
For example, arguments like \mbox{\textcmake{-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3}}, \mbox{\textcmake{-dEmbedAllFonts=true}}, and \mbox{\textcmake{-dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode}} are common.
|
|
This is a standard convention for command line arguments in systems using Unix-like shells.
|
|
|
|
In truth, the \textprog{ps2pdf} program and its variants are actually shell scripts that provide a simplified interface for calling the \textprog{gs} ghostscript program.
|
|
On Unix-like systems they are naturally enough implemented as shell scripts.
|
|
However, the standard Windows port instead uses \textprog{bat} scripts, which are native to that system.
|
|
Unfortunately, the interpreter for \textprog{bat} scripts treats the \textcmake{=} character as special.
|
|
Ultimately it will split the arguments on the \textcmake{=} character, and that will lead to strange errors from \textprog{ps2pdf}.
|
|
For example, on Windows the \mbox{\textcmake{-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3}} argument will be split into the arguments \mbox{\textcmake{-dCompatibilityLevel}} and \mbox{\textcmake{1.3}}.
|
|
\textprog{ps2pdf} will think \mbox{\textcmake{1.3}} is referring to the input file name and give an obtuse error about the file not being found.
|
|
|
|
The workaround is that \textprog{gs} (and therefore all its derived scripts like \textprog{ps2pdf}) support using the \textcmake{\#} character in lieu of \textcmake{=}.
|
|
Thus, on Windows machines, \UseLATEX defaults to an alternate set of arguments for \textprog{ps2pdf} that use \textcmake{\#} in them.
|
|
|
|
An issue you might encounter is that the \textcmake{\#} character is also frequently treated as special by script and build interpreter.
|
|
It is most often used to define a comment.
|
|
For this reason the \textcmake{\#} variant is only used on Windows where it is most likely to be needed.
|
|
The build systems I have tried seem pretty resilient to using \textcmake{\#} in commands.
|
|
If you have issues running \textprog{ps2pdf} with either character, you can attempt to resolve the problem by switching back and forth.
|
|
If you do notice a problem, please let us know so that we can fix it for other users.
