Hi all -- How are folks generating PDF via LaTeX on Windows? I have Sphinx and MikTex installed but that still leaves me stuck with how to execute the Makefile that is generated as part of the latex build. Is there a straightforward way to do this without installing cygwin? Is there a minimum subset of GNU tools that need to be installed on a Windows 7 machine to minimally be able to build the LaTeX into PDF?
Ramon --------------------- We use Windows for our Sphinx projects. Here is the short list of the steps we use to get started. I can send the full document (with screen shots & detailed descriptions) if you like (please provide your direct email). It may be Step 4 that you need to do. I've provided the details for Step 4 below the bulleted list. SECTION I: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND SETUP Setup required . LaTeX (Step 1) pdflatex on Linux / MiKTeX for Windows (MiKTeX shown in these instructions) . Python (Step 2) . Python setuptools (Step 3) . Set path (Step 4) . Sphinx documentation generation software (Step 5) . Text editor (with syntax highlighting for reStructured Text recommended) (Step 6) Sublime Text 2 for Windows was used for these instructions (also available for Linux) . Install any additional extensions required (see Section II). -- Details for Step 4: Step 4: Set Path 1. Open Control Panel 2. Search for 'System' using the Search field in the upper-right corner, and choose option: 'Edit the system environment variables' 3. Click 'Environment Variables.' (in lower-right corner) 4. Add a new environment variable called 'PATH' NOTE: This step assumes that there is not one set for this user. Example shows only TEMP and TMP has variables set). Click 'New.' under the 'User variables for (username)' and use values shown below. Variable name: PATH Variable value: C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin Click OK in each screen to save settings. NOTE: The 'Variable value' shown assumes only default settings were chosen during the installation setup of software.
