Is it working on windows? #1

Closed tobiasBora closed 10 months ago

So I just finished the first version of my robust-externalize library (after doing an important rewrite, thanks a lot everybody for the help), but I don't know if it compiles fine on windows (I need -shell-escape and I don't really know if the command I used are actually really cross platform… they should but who knows how windows reacts).

Would someone be kind enough to test it for me, as I do not have any windows with me? The procedure to test is simple:

$ git clone https://github.com/leo-colisson/robust-externalize
$ cd robust-externalize/doc

Then, to disable the build of bash code (not available on windows), just modify the file doc/robust-externalize.tex by adding after \begin{document}:

\robExtConfigure{
  % bash code will not be compiled (bash does not exist on windows)
  bash/.append style={
    disable externalization
  },
}

and compile the file using:

$ pdflatex -shell-escape robust-externalize.tex
$ pdflatex -shell-escape robust-externalize.tex

(if you are afraid by the -shell-escape, you can also add a line |enable manual mode| in \robExtConfigure and run the commands in |JOBNAME-robExt-compile-missing-figures.sh| manually, but part of the goal is to check if -shell-escape works as expected)

If you get no error, and if the code produces a file robust-externalize.pdf that looks like this one https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leo-colisson/robust-externalize/master/doc/robust-externalize.pdf then everything is fine! You can either report it here, or in the github.
