Check version of kyeval package; open up .build/example.log and search for keyval string

mine is:

Package: keyval 2014/10/28 v1.15 key=value parser

[Kyslik]

I advise you to use latexmk or Makefile included in repository. Or use SublimeText 3 with LatexTools package (my personal choice).

I also tried manual build chain

$ pdflatex example
$ biber example
$ makeglossaries example
$ pdflatex example
$ pdflatex example

And everything compiles fine.

Got it!

I added seconds=true package option for biblatex (to reduce warnings), so you have outdated biblatex package please do update or simply remove seconds=true from line 60 in FEIstyle.cls.

for more info read this tex question

I have the same version of keyval package. I posted the output of pdflatex because make swallows the error message. latexmk uses pdflatex anyway which produces the error posted above. Here is the output of running make:

Quick tip: use makefile to make your pdf and if error is reported simply open up produced log file and search for error string.

Thank you for the prompt help! Removing seconds=true fixed the issue. Perhaps you could try to make the project a bit more backward compatible.

[Kyslik]

Maybe introduce some tests on Travis.CI, there is no time to do that atm. I am sorry for inconvenience.

I am keeping my tex tools auto-updated, I did not even realise that there was a new version on my system which lead to warning which lead to me searching tex for solution.

BTW: warning is

Package biblatex Warning: Conflicting options.
