Hi here, For the purpose of automatic compilation in Emacs using AUCTeX and latexmk on Ubuntu Linux, I've the following configuration:
;;;;;;; begin config here ;; https://tam5917.hatenablog.com/entry/2021/04/10/134230 ;; https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2021-10/msg00013.html (defvar hz/AUCTeX-process nil) (use-package smart-compile :init (declare-function smart-compile-string "smart-compile") (defun run-latexmk () (when (string-match ".tex$" (buffer-file-name)) (unless (and (processp hz/AUCTeX-process) (eq (process-status hz/AUCTeX-process) 'run)) (let ((buf (get-buffer-create "*Background TeX proccess*"))) (with-current-buffer buf (erase-buffer)) ;; flush previous log (setq hz/AUCTeX-process (start-process-shell-command "Background TeX" buf ;; use an external application as the previewer (smart-compile-string "latexmk -pv %f") ;; use pdf-tools ;; (smart-compile-string "latexmk %f") )))))) (define-minor-mode AutoTeX-mode "Mode for compiling latex sources and creating PDFs after saving." :global nil :lighter " Auto" (if AutoTeX-mode (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'run-latexmk t t) (remove-hook 'after-save-hook 'run-latexmk t))) :hook (LaTeX-mode . (lambda () (AutoTeX-mode 1)))) ;;;;;;; end config here But after the TeX file has been changed and saved, I still haven't observed the automatic compilation progress. Any tips/comments will be appreciated. Regards, Zhao -- Assoc.
