[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59546] Missing latex interpreter

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #59546 (project octave):

>> Can I somehow intercept what the latex_renderer tries to compile and try to
execute the respective commands manually? 

No, sorry, as I said in comment #10, the patch is not currently debug
friendly. I will update the patch to add some useful terminal outputs. In the
mean time, can you try to reproduce the tool chain with the attached .tex
file. It should go (approximately) as follows (attached as tstwin.m):


## Create a temporary directory
d = tempname ();
mkdir (d)
copyfile ("./default.tex", d);

## Run latex toolchain
base_path = 'C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64';
#base_path = '/usr/bin';

tex = fullfile (d, "default.tex");
dvi = fullfile (d, "default.dvi");
latex_binary = sprintf ('"%s"', fullfile (base_path, "latex"));
png = fullfile (d, "default.png");
png_binary = sprintf ('"%s"', fullfile (base_path, "dvipng"));
svg = fullfile (d, "default.svg");
svg_binary = sprintf ('"%s"', fullfile (base_path, "dvisvgm"));

unwind_protect
  cmd = [latex_binary, " -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=", d, ...
         " ", tex];
  [status, msg] = system (cmd);
  if (status)
    error ("Running latex: %s", msg);
  endif

  cmd = [svg_binary, " -n -TS1 -o ", svg, " ", dvi];
  [status, msg] = system (cmd);
  if (status)
    error ("Running dvisvg: %s", msg);
  endif

  cmd = [png_binary, " ", dvi, " -o ", png, " -bg Transparent -D 72"];
  [status, msg] = system (cmd);
  if (status)
    error ("Running dvipng: %s", msg);
  endif
unwind_protect_cleanup
  rmdir (d)
end_unwind_protect
