latex-cmake-example

Purpose

Use cmake to compile latex files.

Test Environment

• Gentoo Linux (with noto-cjk installed for CJK fonts)
• TeXLive 2017
• cmake 2.8+

How to use

Put CMakeLists.txt and UseLATEX.cmake together with your latex files, modify CMakeLists.txt to match your project, and run the following commands:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir out
cd out
cmake .. -DPDFLATEX_COMPILER=$(which xelatex)
make VERBOSE=1  # VERBOSE mode for indicating what may go wrong.
cd -

The directory "out" contains all intermediate files, including the final pdf, that are generated by latex.
