I am unable to put the -pvc (preview continuously) and -c (clean up) options together for latexmk.



latexmk -pdf -pvc -c file.tex


My observation: After giving -c option, the file gets compiled, (regeneratable) files are deleted and I am back to the command prompt.



Is it possible to achieve this?

  • I'm not quite understanding. -pvc implies continuous compilation, which needs the auxiliary files, which means they can't be deleted. Or are you wanting the auxiliary files to be regenerated whenever you make a change? Why not just leave them around?

  • @Teepeemm This is precisely I want! I would like to regenerate all auxiliary files every time src file.tex is updated. and get deleted upon successful compilation. I need this as I have some restrictions on bandwidth and filesystem in terms of number of files. (Weird, huh?)

You can write a small shell script:



f=/tmp/$$.tmp
touch $f
src=foo.tex
src="$1";
echo -e "$src -- $fn";

while true
do
if [ ${src} -nt ${f} ];
then
echo "File modified";
latexmk -c ${src}
sleep 5;
fi;
touch ${f};
sleep 5; # This is essential.
done

  • @MikeV.D.C. latexmk can do much more than just a single rub of pdflatex - e.g. it will repeatedly compile the document until all the cross references, tables of contents, indexes, etc, are self-consistent, but only do the minimum number of recompiles to reach that state. (That's why it seems pointless to me to delete all the auxiliary files every time you run latexmk - it is just making latexmk work harder for no obvious reason).
