Either, make sure build.sh has execution permissions.
• *in terminal run:*
sudo chmod ug+x /Users/venkgvi/Desktop/talk/build.sh
or
• *execute the command directly from the script:*
...
set vDirectoryPath to do shell script "dirname" & space & the quoted
form of vFilePath
set vCommand to "cd" & space & (the quoted form of vDirectoryPath) &
space & ";"
set vCommand to vCommand &
"PATH='/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin'" &
space
set vCommand to vCommand & "latexmk -xelatex -verbose -pv"
do shell script vCommand
If you get an error about latexmk not being found, check where latexmk is
on your setup.
In terminal run:
which latexmk
and add the the latexmk directory to the PATH or put the fully qualified
path to latexmk in the command.
