I have a project in directory A and files that I use in all my projects are in directory B.
When I moved a .sty file from A to B, the main .tex file does not compile anymore.
The error is that the .sty file was not found. I am puzzled because:
Directory B is included in the path of the project.
I cleaned (deleted manually) all the auxiliary files used in the previous compilations.
I refreshed the project folders .
Did anyone had similar problems? Suggestions?
The file LaTeX.sublime-build, within the Sublime Text folder . . . /Packages/LaTeXTools, contains a $PATH for different operating systems.
For example, Sublime Text 2 on an OSX operating system, has a file located at ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/LaTeXTools/LaTeX.sublime-build. The relevant line of code for a MacTeX TexLive 2012 installation is "path": "$PATH:/usr/texbin:/usr/local/bin",. The plugin LaTeXTools looks in that path for *.sty files that are a part of the TexLive installation. While it may be possible (under some circumstances) to place the *.sty files within the working directory of the *.tex file, this particular plugin looks to the path mentioned hereinabove. So one option would be to add additional locations to the $PATH to suit the needs of the user, or simply place the *.sty files within the path that is pre-defined by the plugin developer.

How to change the MSIX installation path??
Referred this url - "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/desktop/desktop-to-uwp-behind-the-scenes"
Always installer package is created in default location "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps"
Need to set the installer location to different location.
The installation path of an MSIX package cannot be changed. All the files you have included in your package are installed inside an app-specific folder under "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps<your app>\".
This is a design decision from Microsoft. Only for MSI/EXE installers you can change the install path.
If you want to add files in other folders too, you need to copy them the first time your application is launched. For that, you have multiple options. You can write your own code inside your application to copy the files in other folders or you can use tools like Advanced Installer to do it for you.
To understand more about MSIX and how files outside of the installation path can be managed I recommend this article/presentation I wrote last month.
I've been trying to add additional functionality to the electron installer, where I copy some files that are packaged inside the installer, but I receive a non-descriptive error when I try to compile my electron project to create the installer i.e. I get:
* writing effective config
* packaging
* building
x [object Object]
Here is what my script looks like:
!macro customInstall
Rename "$APPDATA\myfolder\img" "$APPDATA\myfolder\img-old"
SetOutPath "$APPDATA\myfolder"
File /nonfatal /a /r "additional_files\*"
CreateShortcut "$SMSTARTUP\mylink.lnk" "$INSTDIR\mylink.exe"
!macroend
Basically everything works except the file copy part. When I remove that part the project builds and compiles into an installer with no problems.
I've also tried to use CopyFiles instead of SetOutPath and File and it works as expected when I place the additional_files folder into the same folder as the installation (dist folder), but I want the folder to be packaged inside the installer. However, I cannot get the additional_files to be packaged with the installation.
I believe it's a location issue, that is, that the NSIS script cannot locate the additional_files/ folder. I've tried modifying the package.json file by adding to the files section the additional_files/ folder and placing it in the root of the project.
I've even tried placing it in the build folder where my installer.nsh script resides, but with no luck.
File looks for files relative to the directory where the .nsi is by default. /NOCD can be used to prevent that but I'm not sure if electron uses that switch.
!cd can be used inside a script to change the directory but I'm not sure if that is going to help you much in this case unless you are willing to use a absolute path and in that case you could just use the absolute path with the File instruction instead.
If you only know where your .nsh file is I suppose you could try File /r "${__FILEDIR__}\additional_files\*"
if you are using electron-builder you have two options inside the settings
extraResources this will copy files into the $INST_DIR/resources folder in your app (this is where the app.asar file is too), and you can access via process.resourcesPath, ex:
extraResources: [
{ from: './dist/ThirdPartyNotices.txt', to: 'ThirdPartyNotices.txt' },
]
extraFiles this would do the same but place the files into the $INST_DIR root folder of your installation ex:
extraFiles: [
{ from: './distrib/mytool.exe', to: 'mytool.exe' },
],
to get the root folder you can use something like remote.app.getAppPath().replace('resources\\app.asar', '').replace('resources/app.asar', '');

In both Hydrogen and using a plug-in terminal platform, the default directory is one folder up from where my code file resides.
E.g., I’ll be working on a file with path, say, parent/code/file.py. When I run pwd in the plug-in's terminal or the equivalent via Hydrogen in the python script I get parent/, but I need it to be parent/code/ to import files etc.
Perhaps the default directory for Atom is the project that is folder of the project that is open?
Any ideas how to change the default current directory for Atom (or is it package specific) to the file i’m working on/executing in Hydrogen?
In the hydrogen settings you can choose the location where the kernel should be started.
The default is the 'First started project's directory'. You can choose 'Current directory of the file' there, which should give you what you want.
Xcode includes a flexible build rules system. The documentation is all but non-existant however.
A project I am working on for iOS 5 and iOS 6 includes an rtf help file. For iOS 6, I can convert the rtf file into an archived NSAttributedString object, then load that at runtimeand display it directly to a UITextView. For iOS 5, I can't (without a lot of work in Core Text...) so I want just the text without the style info.
I wrote a command line tool, RTFToData that takes an RTF file as input and generates a .txt file and a .data file (where the .data file contains a version of the styled text that my project knows how to use.)
Here is the syntax of my command line tool:
RTFToData [-o] source_path [destination_path]
-o (optional) overwite existing files
source_path (required) path to source RTF file (must have extension "rtf" or "RTF"
destination_directory (optional.) writes output files to source file directory if no destination specified
destination_directory must exist if specified.
I want to set up my project so that I can add .rtf files as sources (with the "add to target" checkbox NOT checked.) I want Xcode to run my RTFToData command on each file specifying that the output files should be copied into a directory and then added to the target.
Ideally, I'd like the build process to know about the dependencies between my source .rtf files and the processed .data and .txt files. If I touch a .rtf file, I'd like the build process to re-run the rtftodata command.
I am a makefile and unix scripting neophyte. I THINK I can use a run script build rule that will do this, but I am unclear on how. I guess I need to write a script that finds all files of type ".rtf", pipes that list of files into an invocation of my RTFToData.
Can somebody outline the steps I need to take in the Xcode IDE to make my project handle this smoothly?
As a side-note, is there some directory where you can put command line tools so they are available to the current version of Xcode? So far I've been installing the RTFToData command in /Library/usr/bin, but I'd really like the build tool to be included in the project, or at the very least, not have to use sudo to set up every development machine that is used to build this project.
Create a custom build phase
Add the .rtf files to your project and make sure they are added to your target.
Go to your target settings and select the "Build Rules" tab:
Click the "Add Build Rule" button at the bottom.
You want to configure your rule based on something like this:
Enter a standard wildcard glob for the files you want to match (*.rtf).
Inside the script section you can make use of a number of environment variables. Assuming your glob has matched the input file Test.rtf you have access to these vars:
INPUT_FILE_PATH = /path/to/your/project/source/Test.rtf
INPUT_FILE_NAME = Test.rtf
INPUT_FILE_BASE = Test
INPUT_FILE_SUFFIX = .rtf
INPUT_FILE_DIR = /path/to/your/project/source/
You want to process your file and send it to the ${DERIVED_FILES_DIR} directory with whatever new filename or extension you need. In this case we take the base filename from the input and give it a new extension.
Fill out the "Output Files" section with the same output file you used in the script. This will ensure the dependency system works and that the file will be copied to your .app. The script will only be run if the input has changed or the output file is missing from the .app.
Note that the "Output Files" should not have double quotes. The paths will be quoted for you by Xcode.
If your script generates multiple output files, add extra entries for those as well.
Once this is all set up, .rtf files added to your target will be converted to whatever output files your script generates. The original .rtf files will not exist in the final .app.
Where to put scripts/programs
As a side-note, is there some directory where you can put command line
tools so they are available to the current version of Xcode?
Put your tools somewhere below the directory that contains your .xcproject. Then from your build phase/rules use the ${SRCROOT} environment variable, which is the directory containing your project:
Assuming this file system layout:
/path/to/project/project.xcodeproj
/path/to/project/Tools/CommandLineTool
Use this in your build phase/rules:
"${SRCROOT}/Tools/CommandLineTool" "${INPUT_FILE_PATH}" ...
Remember to use double-quotes everywhere you can!
I downloaded LuaEdit to use as an IDE and debug tool however I'm having trouble using it for even the simplest things. I've created a solution with 2 files in it, all of which are stored in the same folder. My files are as follows:
--startup.lua
require("foo")
test("Testing", "testing", "one, two, three")
--foo.lua
foo = {}
print("In foo.lua")
function test(a,b,c) print(a,b,c) end
This works fine when in my C++ compiler when accessed through some embed code, however when I attempt to use the same code in LuaEdit, it crashes on line 3 require("foo") with an error stating:
module 'foo' not found:
no field package.preload['foo']
no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaEdit 2010\lua\foo.lua'
no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaEdit 2010\lua\foo\init.lua'
no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaEdit 2010\foo.lua'
no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaEdit 2010\foo\init.lua'
no file '.\foo.lua'
no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaEdit 2010\foo.dll'
no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaEdit 2010\loadall.dll'
no file '.\battle.dll'
I have also tried creating these files prior to adding them to a solution and still get the same error. Is there some setting I'm missing? It would be great to have an IDE/debugger but it's useless to me if it can't run linked functions.
The issue is probably that your Lua files are not on the path in package.path (for C files this is package.cpath).
My guess is that the LuaEdit program is not launched in the directory you have your files in, and hence does not have a match for eg .\foo.lua.
You have 3 simple solutions to this (from dumb to smarter):
Find out what path LuaEdit considers as ./ and put your files there.
Open up a terminal in the right directory (the one containing your files), and run LuaEdit from there.
Add the path the files are on to package.path and package.cpath before doing any require's
You may need to put:
lua
package.path = package.path..";c:/path/to/my/files/?.lua"
at the beginning of your files before any require (as jpjacobs indicated). I couldn't find any way to provide this from LuaEdit itself. It appears it runs the script using its full path, but keeps its current dir set to whatever it was when the IDE was started. If you run LuaEdit using full path from your application folder, it should work fine even without package.path changes.
While the IDE itself works fine with its own modules/libraries, it doesn't mean it makes them available to the application it runs.
(shameless plug) If you're still not happy with LuaEdit, I'd offer ZeroBrane Studio Lua IDE as an alternative, It's based on the same wxLua framework, but provides a bit more functionality and doesn't have this particular issue you're facing. It also supports remote debugging, so you should be able to debug your Lua scripts directly from your application.
