Using auctex-latexmk with pdf?

[drorata]

I fail to use your nice code, and it seems like it is because I have to use pdf for my compilation. Therefore, these lines in .latexmkrc

$latex = "platex -interaction=nonstopmode"; $dvipdf = 'perl -e "exec(\'dvipdfmx\', \$ARGV[0])"';

seems to break my compilation. Is there a way to tell latexmk to use pdflatex using your work?

You can use pdflatex by setting $pdf_mode=1 in .latexmkrc. For more details about $pdf_mode, please see the manpage of latexmk.

Thanks for the quick answer!

Worked like a charm! Do I really need the lines: $latex = "platex -interaction=nonstopmode"; $dvipdf = 'perl -e "exec(\'dvipdfmx\', \$ARGV[0])"'; ?

Maybe you would like to add something to the documentation? In case one has projects that have to be compiled using latex and others using pdflatex, then I guess an easy solution would be to use local .latexmkrc files.

Thanks anyway and all the best, Dror

For pdflatex users, these lines are not needed. They are used when $pdf_mode=3 (i.e. make PDF with latex and dvipdfmx).

Thank you for your advice. I'll fix it later.

done!

I close this issue because $pdf_mode=1 works in most cases and now it is described in the document.
