[Latex] 修补Rubber

Rubber停更很久了,所以已经从我的Latex编译好帮手,堕落为了pain of ass.

bibtex 问题

---

比如编译tex文件的时候会出现如下错误导致bib文件不能正确的编译出来:

running post-compilation scripts...
running BibTeX on paper...
There were errors making the bibliography.
There were errors compiling paper.

这是因为, rubber是这样调用bibtex的

Popen(['bibtex /your/path/to/tex/file'])

而在新的bibtex中, 不能接受绝对路径作为输入参数

解决方法: 在bibtex.py(如果你的rubber是使用brew安装的话, 其路径为/usr/local/Cellar/rubber/20100306/share/rubber/rubber/latex_modules/bibtex.py)中修改run这个函数, 在调用Popen前加上:

cmd = ["bibtex", "-min-crossrefs=1000", msg.simplify(self.base)]
process = Popen(cmd, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)

rubber

用法
rubber是一个latex的wrapper. 它免去了你先把eps -> pdf, 再latex paper.tex, 再bibtex paper 再 latex paper.tex这个复杂的过程. 你只需要一个命令就能完成

$rubber paper

问题/解决
不同的版本/平台上, rubber可能会有一些问题:
1 eps转pdf的时候报错

GS_OPTIONS=-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress rubber --pdf -Wrefs -Wmisc paper
running: epstopdf --outfile=aaa.pdf aaa.eps...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/rubber", line 4, in 
    sys.exit(Main()(sys.argv[1:]))
  File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/rubber/cmdline.py", line 319, in __call__
    return self.main(cmdline)
  File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/rubber/cmdline.py", line 283, in main
    ret = env.final.make(self.force)
  File "rubber/depend.py", line 157, in make
  File "rubber/depend.py", line 171, in make
  File "rubber/depend.py", line 276, in run
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 595, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1106, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error
make: *** [pdf] Error 1

修改/usr/local/share/rubber/rules.ini

command = epstopdf --outfile=$target $source

改为

command = bash epstopdf --outfile=$target $source

2 无法使用bibtex
在我的Mac上, bibtex后面不能使用绝对路径(Ubuntu上则是好的, 很诡异).所以导致我rubber以后所有reference都不对.
