Does the PDF currently build?

I just set up ots-doctools on a machine where it previously had not been installed, cloned the archetypes repo, and then tried to build this PDF, and it did not work. It seems like inkscape is a plugin or dependency that isn't listed in the requirements?

I ran into the same issue a short while ago. On an ubuntu box installing inkscape via sudo apt install inkscape fixed that issue.

[brainwane]

Thanks @choeppler. I installed Inkscape and then tried make again and ran into a different issue:

[choeppler]

Did you install ots-doctools as described here: https://github.com/OpenTechStrategies/ots-doctools#installation ? Some of the errors indicate that TEXMFHOME might not have been set correctly...

[brainwane]

@choeppler I believe I did.

My .bashrc includes:

# OTS doctools per https://github.com/OpenTechStrategies/ots-doctools
OTS_DOCTOOLS_DIR=${HOME}/Documents/ots-doctools
export OTS_DOCTOOLS_DIR

TEXMFHOME=${HOME}/texmf
export TEXMFHOME

and the ~/texmf directory exists, and I believe I have set up the alias properly:

~$ ls -lah texmf/tex/latex/
total 12K
drwxrwxr-x 3 sumanah sumanah 4.0K Jan 28 21:22 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 sumanah sumanah 4.0K Jan 28 21:21 ..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 sumanah sumanah   28 Jan 28 21:22 ots -> Documents/ots-doctools/latex

[brainwane]

Even if I manually tell make where otsreport.cls is, it still gets hung up on wanting setspace.sty which I think isn't already installed.

I ran a find . -iname setspace.sty and couldn't find any on my machine. Based on https://github.com/OpenTechStrategies/ots-doctools/blob/10036842f86ad1269deff9f059d1c11e055ff011/latex/ots.sty#L46 this may be something I have to install separately?

[choeppler]

You are missing some packages in your latex distribution. E.g., if you're on ubuntu, you could fix this by installing texlive-latex-recommended (and possibly other apt packages), which includes both setspace.sty, and xcolor.sty, the latter of which was mentioned in an error message you posted earlier.

As for the problem that pdflatex doesn't find otsreport.cls: I believe it's a dangling symbolic link (the relative path it points to currently does not exist). Something along the lines below (untested!) should fix that:

~$ cd texmf/tex/latex/
~$ ls -lha ots
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sumanah sumanah   28 Jan 28 21:22 ots -> Documents/ots-doctools/latex
~$ rm ots
~$ ln -s ${HOME}/Documents/ots-doctools/latex ots

[kfogel]

Thanks, @choeppler, for the responses, and @brainwane did you get the build working on your machine?

[brainwane]

I installed texlive-latex-recommended and I tried the symbolic link fix that @choeppler mentioned, and updated the git repositories both for this repo and for ots-doctools, and now the error is different, indicating that I am missing textpos.sty and comment.sty. I did a little searching and couldn't easily tell what additional apt packages I ought to install. Log below:

Hmmm. @brainwane, can you give details of your operating system, TeX-related packages & versions, and anything else that seems like it might be relevant?

(What I'm trying to do is disentagle the "set of default TeX packages that I always have installed on my machines anyway, and that therefore are part of the ambient environment, and that therefore I don't even realize need to be specified when documenting build dependencies" from "set of TeX packages we should specify as required here".)

[kfogel]

@brainwane https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420591 and https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/291066/problem-uploading-packages are what I'm looking at right now, since you seem to be on Debian.

If you do apt-get update && apt-get install texlive, does it tell you that everything about texlive is already up-to-date?
