LaTeX does not compile into pdf - latex

TexMaker settings 1
TexMaker settings 2
I am new to LaTeX and it appears I cannot compile code (even the simplest) into a pdf view. When I use the quickbuild command it shows:
Could not start the command. pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
I use "TexMaker", MikTeX console has all updates, LaTeX is recognized using Windows command console, the file is properly saved.
Simply restarting everything does not work.
(and that's all the code there is for the file)
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Test.
\end{document}
Problem solved
Thanks to samcarter, I added the path to pdflatex.exe in Options => Commands => PdfLaTeX to the command line and it works fine now.

Make sphinx build latex PDF in nonstopmode

i am using sphinx to build my latex document but everytime i run the make latexpdf command, latex stops the build and asks for user input -- latex is not running with nonstopmode. In the past i was able to put the nonstopmode in a makefile and use "-use-make" with latexmk to compile everything. Did some digging on Sphinx and can't really find what i am looking for.
The -interaction=nonstopmode option can be provided via the LATEXMKOPTS Makefile variable:
make latexpdf LATEXMKOPTS="-interaction=nonstopmode"
See https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/builders/index.html#sphinx.builders.latex.LaTeXBuilder.

pdflatex fails with `system returned with code 1` when using minted

I'm trying to use minted in my LaTeX document, but I keep getting system returned with code 1 without any further details (see log below) during the compilation.
MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\begin{minted}{python}
print("Hello")
\end{minted}
\end{document}
Command used for compilation: pdflatex -shell-escape test.tex
Log output
I've tried:
Minimizing the example as far as possible
Compiling in different folder
Compiling in clean folder
Compiling on different drive
I don't really know where to go from here as about 2 hours of googling hasn't yielded any results. Thanks in advance.

Sublime Text 3 LaTeXTools plugin won't compile on Debian

When doing Ctrl+B on SublimeText3, the following error is output:
[Compiling first.tex]
TraditionalBuilder: Invoking latexmk...
COULD NOT COMPILE!
Attempted command:latexmk -cd -e $pdflatex='pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %S %O' -f -pdf first.tex
Build engine: Traditional Builder
Running the exact same command compiles a pdf file just fine.
This answer does not solve the problem, as I've
Removed spaces around "="
Done a "Reconfigure LaTeXTools and migrate settings".
Made sure pdflatex is installed.
Made sure the path for texpath is correct.
If your command runs on terminal then most likely there is an issue either with the path or with the command itself (in the file). There has been some update to the README file by the developer:
some distros do not want a space before and after the = in $pdflatex = %E. But some do want the space there (sigh!)
sometimes latexmk is not on the PATH, or the path is not correctly picked up by ST. In this case, instead of "latexmk", use "/usr/bin/latexmk" or wherever latexmk is in your system.
some distros require quoting the $pdflatex assignment, as in "$pdflatex = \"'%E -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %S %O'\""
So it might take a while but you'll find it eventually in the settings or the traditionalbuilder.py file.
Also when I tried putting /usr/bin/latexmk, latex did not produce the correct pdf (I checked it with few changes and it just opened the old pdf) but in your case it might work.
Also, at least in Arch Linux I can't run sublime with sublime-text but instead with subl so I changed that too in the settings (I don't know if it actually matters) and I needed to change the permissions for the files because user-run sublime could not access my settings files!

Doxygen - latex issue

I need some hel regarding doxygen. I have a c++ code and i want to generate the pdf documentation using doxygen. The problem is that doxygen runs, produces the html output as expected, but the refman.tex file isnt generated (it generates the "d" folders and the doxygen.sty file). I have activated the "GENERATE_LATEX" option on the configuration file and there is no visible error on the console...
Im running doxygen 1.8.1.2 on ubuntu 12.10 x64 and i have texlive 2012/Debian (latest available).
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Gedit + Latex Plugin - Bibtex not working

I writed an article in latex some time ago. Now that i use Ubuntu i work with Gedit + Latex plugin. I use bibtex and i found no problem running the work already done.
Now when i add a new entry to my bibtex file it doens't appear on pdf (like it wasn't there [?] ). The older references are correctly displayed.
This has nothing to do with Ubuntu or gedit. Simply adding an entry to your .bib file is not sufficient. You will have to run bibtex again to display the new references (assuming you have cited them in the .tex file).
If you are using latex to compile to a pdf, follow these steps:
latex filename
bibtex filename
latex filename
latex filename
dvipdf filename (or you can do dvips filename followed by ps2pdf filename
If you are using pdflatex, then do these:
pdflatex filename
bibtex filename
pdflatex filename
pdflatex filename
