thesis in a standard Linux, please add correct preparation at README #1

Closed ppKrauss closed 8 years ago

ppKrauss commented 8 years ago

To use make at thesis in a standard UBUNTU 14 LTS need a lot of previous installs, 

# cd prince-samples/thesis
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bibtex2html
sudo apt-get install ruby-full   #not need rubygems
sudo gem install sass
make
ppKrauss commented 8 years ago

ERROR after described procedure, thesis.css is empty.

%sass < thesis.scss > thesis.css

Error: Invalid CSS after "": expected expression (e.g. 1px, bold), was "{" on line 1 of standard input

Perhaps a problem with sass not the CSS.

I have sass 3.4.21, installed via sudo aptitude install ruby-sass on Debian stretch (aptitude has some benefits over apt-get). This works for me, what version are you using? I can try with that or maybe we can try to fix the .scss file. Thanks.

Hi @PaulBone, thanks the reply. After sudo aptitude install ruby-sass the problem persist... but now I see that the problem:

Ops, and need to remove all to redo correct files... Let's make (messages):

make
bib2bib -q -s editor,author,year < bib.bib > bib-sorted.bib
Sorting...done.
No citation file output (no file name specified)
grep "a class=\"cite" thesis.html | sed -e 's/.*\href=\"#\(.*\)".*/\1/' > citefile.txt
bibtex2html -q -noabstract -nokeywords -dl -nodoc -a -nobibsource \
        -citefile citefile.txt bib-sorted.bib
awk -f make-file.awk < thesis.html > thesis-postproc.html
sass thesis.scss > thesis.css
prince thesis-postproc.html -o thesis.pdf

SUGGESTION: save here at GIT all generated intermediate files (thesis.css, thesis-postproc, etc. except pdf) to avoid problems for people that not want to install all tools.

I like your suggestion. I think that this will make it easier to demonstrate prince, which is the point of these samples.
