Do you have dvipdf on your machine? How do you build PDFs from Tex?

[sbillinge]

I use MikTex but not sure how to allow regolith to find it? Is there some kind of tex path that needs to be set up?

What is the command you run for building PDFs? (or command sequence)

[sbillinge]

either latex or pdflatex works, though I generally build from my winedt IDE

The current command sequence is:

self.run(["latex"] + LATEX_OPTS + [base + ".tex"])
self.run(["bibtex"] + [base + ".aux"])
self.run(["latex"] + LATEX_OPTS + [base + ".tex"])
self.run(["latex"] + LATEX_OPTS + [base + ".tex"])
self.run(["dvipdf", base])

Maybe we can provide the option to run pdflatex? @scopatz thoughts?

[sbillinge]

I have dvips which could then be converted to pdf with ps2pdf, or we could just replace latex with pdflatex and remove the ``dvipdf```? Not sure the downsides to that but it would work for me then.....

I think we can inspect for windows and run pdflatex as the last command.

[sbillinge]

sounds good. It may not be a windows thing per-se, it is my particular setup. But I think my setup is some kind of more or less standard MikTex installation which is very common for windows users, so this could probably work.
