It looks like the issue is that rsvg-convert
is not installed? I suspect installing that will fix the immediate issue, and perhaps an README update or the like is required to help the next person who encounters this.
I wonder if pandoc just has too many dependencies to expect folks to build locally. Maybe we should be suggesting building the PDF using a docker invocation of some sort?
I had to install librsvg
and lualatex
on Mac, but I'm getting another error now:

It worked once, then no more. Could we have some sort of config to turn off the PDF generation?
@max-heller, do you have experience with building the course on Mac?
@henrif75, you should be able to turn this off by removing the mdbook-pandoc
binary you have installed. I get

on my machine because I haven't installed it here.
@max-heller, do you have experience with building the course on Mac?
Yes, I primarily develop on a Mac.
@henrif75 could you try enabling verbose logging for Pandoc in book.toml
and see what it spits out?

I have the following installed through homebrew, although I'm not sure they're all needed:

It worked when I installed the fonts, but I couldn't find a casket so I manually installed them. Would you have the brew command to fetch these fonts? I'll update the documentation.

In my Silicon laptop I fixed it by using "tectonic" as a PDF renderer (changing it in the book.toml
file) and installing the Noto fonts

tectonic
simplifies a lot of dependency wrangling, but If I'm remembering correctly it doesn't support all of the font shenanigans necessary to render multilingual books, so unfortunately comprehensive rust probably can't switch over to it.
https://github.com/google/mdbook-i18n-helpers/issues/200 is trying to figure out a way to skip running optional = true
renderers when they aren't needed, which will prevent failures like these
Hi, I hope you can help me 😄
I am trying to build the book in order to contribute with translating to spanish, but I am facing some errors... I am using a Windows 10 machine and I followed your README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and TRANSLATIONS.md guides, but still face some errors.
Here are all my steps :
mdbook
, mdbook-svgbob
, mdbook-i18n-helpers
, mdbook-exerciser
, and mdbook-course
) using cargo
. pandoc
from Pandocmdbook-pandoc
using cargo
, which is not mentioned in the README.md guide. MikTex
to get lualatex
from MiKTeX. Now I am able to build the english version of book with mdbook build
, but I can't build the spanish version with MDBOOK_BOOK__LANGUAGE=es mdbook build -d book/es
. Here's the output:
mdbook_build_es_output1.txt
pandoc: C:\Users\s023793\letesdev\comprehensive-rust\book\es\pandoc\pdf\comprehensive-rust.pdf: withBinaryFile: permission denied (Permission denied)
pandoc exited unsuccessfully

2024-06-04 14:50:33 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: The "pandoc" renderer failed
5. I installed
mdbook-pandoc
usingcargo
, which is not mentioned in the README.md guide.
mdbook-pandoc
is marked as optional, so if you uninstall it you should be able to build the book without it. https://github.com/max-heller/mdbook-pandoc/pull/93 will soon provide a way to disable mdbook-pandoc
outside of CI to avoid having to install its dependencies locally.
pandoc: C:\Users\s023793\letesdev\comprehensive-rust\book\es\pandoc\pdf\comprehensive-rust.pdf: withBinaryFile: permission denied (Permission denied) pandoc exited unsuccessfully
This is strange, are there restrictive permissions on any of the parent directories of this path?
Hi max-heller, thanks for the answer 😄
Are you sure about mdbook-pandoc
being optional? Maybe it is possible to build the book without it once max-heller/mdbook-pandoc#93 is implemented, but here's an output of mdbook build
before installing it (mdbook_build_output.txt):
2024-06-04 11:35:24 [WARN] (mdbook::renderer): The command `mdbook-pandoc` for backend `pandoc` was not found, but was marked as optional.
Regarding the issue while building the spanish version: no, there aren't any restrictive permissions on any of the parent directories... you can actually tell by the build of the english version, right ? If I am able to build the english version, shouldn't I be able to build the spanish one ?
2024-06-04 11:35:24 [WARN] (mdbook::renderer): The command `mdbook-pandoc` for backend `pandoc` was not found, but was marked as optional.
This is a warning, not an error, and shouldn't impact the rest of the build.
If I am able to build the english version, shouldn't I be able to build the spanish one ?
You should be able to, yes. I'll look into it some more

Well, as you can see in the output file (having stderr and stout outputs), the build stops there without any other message... Let me know if you need more details 😄

Great, thank you so much! 😄

At that point, the build has completed successfully. mdbook-pandoc
is the last renderer that gets run, so if it's skipped, nothing else is expected. You can verify this by e.g. commenting all of the pandoc
configuration in book.toml
.

Seems like the error can occur for a variety of reasons (see e.g. here). Do you happen to have the Spanish PDF open while building? An antivirus that might be blocking Pandoc? A network drive/OneDrive setup? Have you tried wiping out the book
directory and trying again?
I am finally able to build the english and the spanish book! Thank you so much @max-heller !
I tried commenting all of the pandoc
configuration in the book.toml
file as you mentioned, and, just in case, I wiped out the book/
directory and closed OneDrive...
However, I found many of the paragraphs in english in the spanish version are already translated... for instance, after formatting the po/es.po
file with dprint fmt po/es.po
command, I am able to modify the paragraph in the index.html
(I added several 's'
to 'Basándonos' just for showing) but not the list :
Do you have a clue in this, by the way ?

Happy to hear it! Just curious, if you reenable the pandoc configuration in book.toml
, do you get the same error as before?

I'm not familiar with the translation infrastructure, this seems like a good question for a separate issue to keep this one on topic
Just curious, if you reenable the pandoc configuration in
book.toml
, do you get the same error as before? I tried several builds:
- Wiping out the
book/
directory again, closing OneDrive and runningmdbook build
with the pandoc configuration enabled, the build failed... here's the output: mdbook_build_stderr_stdout_14-06-24_11-07.txt- Coming from previous run, without wiping, OneDrive closed, the build failed again: mdbook_build_stderr_stdout_14-06-24_11-10.txt
- Coming from previous run, without wiping, OneDrive clsoed and without internet connection, the build seems to have suceded: mdbook_build_stderr_stdout_nowifi_14-06-24_11-11.txt. I didn't see anything wrong in the pdf but here it is in case you want to check something specific: comprehensive-rust.pdf

Thanks for testing! This is a specific issue that should be easy to fix, I've opened https://github.com/max-heller/mdbook-pandoc/issues/96 to track it
I think we can close this now": We no longer run mdbook-pandoc
by default and so people should not see local errors unless they opt-in.
Following the build procedures listed in the README.md page results in
pandoc
failure:
