LatexMk: problems after [0] pages about auctex-latexmk

[tom-tan]

Would you show me the contents of */path/to/texfile output* buffer after you first run C-c C-c?
I can not use MikTex because I do not have any Windows machines.

I created a minimal hello.tex file and ran C-c C-c using latexmk. I have included the contents of the output buffer in the following gist: https://gist.github.com/barik/8303188

Sorry for late reply.

There seems no problems with the contents of your output buffer.
I prepared a Windows 7 x64 machine and tried to reproduce the issue, but I could not.

Are there some other settings or am I missing something?
I did the following instructions to try to reproduce it.

---

I install Emacs 24.3 and StrawBerryPerl 5.16.33 via Chocolatey,
and install MikTeX 2.9.5105 by hand (because I failed to install it via Chocolatey).

I install AUCTeX and auctex-latexmk via package.el and install LatexMk via MikTeX package manager.
I used the following init.el for Emacs:

(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives
 '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)

(auctex-latexmk-setup)

I write the following files for LatexMk config and TeX input file:

$pdf_mode = 1;
$pdflatex = "pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode";

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\end{document}

I run C-c C-c with LatexMk and I recieve LatexMk: successfully formatted [0] pages in the minibuffer.
But it does not generate any PDF file. Here is the contents of the output. https://gist.github.com/tom-tan/8629749

That is because you have compiled an empty document, although I would say that if a PDF can't be generated then it should not say successful, since the compilation is actually unsuccessful. The problem of interest occurs for me when the document is non-empty:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Hello
\end{document}

On the first compile (C-c C-c), I will receive: LatexMk: problems after [0] pages. Then on the second compile, I will receive: LatexMk: nothing to do. Finally, I'll receive View. LatexMk should only have to compile this document once.

I added the special treatment for MiKTeX.
Please check the latest version.

I tested it on a few LaTeX documents, and it appears to be working correctly with MiKTeX. Thanks!
