Unable to package Meka 1.9.2 or Snapshot about meka

You don't seem to have pdflatex on your system PATH. This executable is used to turn the LaTeX documentation into PDFs. On my Linux Mint 18.2, I use texlive (http://tug.org/texlive/), but you should be able to use MikTeX on Windows as well (https://miktex.org/). Once you have installed your LaTeX distribution, make sure that the pdflatex is accessible via the PATH environment variable.

Thank you fracpete. I installed miktex-2.9.6850 and configured the path as suggested. When I tried to build again (mvn clean install), It processed several files with pdflatex.exe, but failed with the following error:

! LaTeX Error: File `epsf.sty' not found.

I found a different way to get it to work:

Need to add this plugin to get the JARs in local directory.

<plugin> 
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> 
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> 
<configuration> 
<outputDirectory> ${project.build.directory} </outputDirectory> 
</configuration> 
</plugin>

Then run

• mvn clean install -DskipTests
• mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
• Move ./target/dependency directory to ./lib
• Copy ./target/meka-1.9.2.jar to ./lib
• Added run.bat file

@ECHO OFF
SET MEMORY=512m
SET MAIN=meka.gui.guichooser.GUIChooser
java -Xmx%MEMORY% -cp ".\lib\*" %MAIN% %1

Then execute the run.bat file which launches Meka. I hope this workaround is useful for someone else.

The reason that pdflatex fails is that you are missing (at least) one LaTex package: epsf (https://miktex.org/packages/epsf)

Also, to turn off the LaTeX generation, try using this flag on the commandline: -Dlatex.dummyBuild=true

Thank you!
