Re: [Unicon-group] The vagaries of creating a new copy of the Unicon Book from TeX sources.

2016-12-10 Thread Jeffery, Clint (jeffe...@uidaho.edu) 
I have received a request before to get rid of the aeguill or some such, the 
special wolfmarks around a word that look like mini- less-than and greater-than 
marks; they look much nicer than <> . It is the most flagrant foul in our 
current book source as far as I know, requiring a french package.  So far I 
have not been willing to make the book uglier in order to make it easier to 
compile, but I would welcome solutions to this and other obstacles that we may 
identify.  In the meantime, if you don't feel like installing all of latex, 
enjoy the Unicon book in its PDF format!  I am sympathetic to the pain, but 
thusfar the requisite latex packages have not proven all that difficult to 
install and use.  Too bad latex isn't smart enough to autoinstall stuff on 
demand!


Cheers,

Clint

Good evening/morning to all,

For those who may be attempting to create a new pdf from the Unicon TeX
sources, I have the following story.

If, like me, you are running on a Centos 6 system, the make file
provided will probably fail (if you are using tex-live as supplied).
There are missing macros which do not seem to be available in the distro
version of tex-live.

For building the UP docs and other Sphinx TeX output related materials, I 
usually install texlive-full, it's a few gigabytes of install, and most 
components sit idle, never used, but it saves on thinking through the thousands 
of sub packages.  After that, things all come together, dependencies met.  On 
this Xubuntu 16.04 box, and the Fedora 24 system, the makefile for ub.pdf just 
works.  Can't say which package(s) from the complete Tex suite make it work, 
but it does.


I suggest to those who experience this that you download the tex-live
2016 DVD iso and do a clean install using that. I did have problems
trying to do a net install of tex-live 2016 (failed 1/2 way through with
a hard non-resumable error). Do your install of the new tex-live and
after completing any path changes required, log-out, log-in and run make
and you will have the new version.

To the Authors, looks good with the changes that I have seen so far.
Thank you for your efforts in this work.

Agree.  Kudos deserved.

Cheers,
Brian

Re: [Unicon-group] The vagaries of creating a new copy of the Unicon Book from TeX sources.

2016-12-10 Thread Bruce & Breeanna Rennie 
Good evening Clinton,

I don't have any issue with the various additions you use to make the 
book look more presentable. I was more reporting that the standard 
install for Centos 6 doesn't work with the Unicon Book sources and one 
needs to use the latest texlive 2016 distribution.

As noted elsewhere, the improvements in the book are worth it and the 
extra effort of installing the latest texlive is a small price to pay to 
get the improved book.

As I run on a 32 bit machine, I can't adequately test the new Centos 7 
system without a lot of extra work, which after the installation failure 
today, I am not really interested in doing at this time. I've got too 
much else to do.

Thanks for all your efforts

regards

Bruce Rennie

Re: [Unicon-group] The vagaries of creating a new copy of the Unicon Book from TeX sources.

2016-12-09 Thread Bruce & Breeanna Rennie 
Good morning Don,

I use TeXstudio under linux, but it had failed as well, since it relies 
on the tex-live installation that existed on my machine. Now that I have 
updated the tex-live system to the latest official release, it also 
generates the pdf properly.

The README  that comes with the files for building the Unicon Book does 
mention a couple of extra files you have to download, but these are not 
available under Centos 6.

I just bit the bullet an did a full update.

regards

Bruce Rennie

I use TeXShop on a mac and … it just works. I’ve never tried the makefile.

http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/ 

I thought it was available more widely but, it looks as if it’s OS X only. 
However, if that’s what your'e using, it’s a very easy way to get up and 
running.
