Hi Stefano,
The Makefile has solved my issues by just ignoring the error and forcing
the compilation by doing : make recompile. The Lyx version is : LyX 2.0.3 .
The makefile exports the lyx file to tex file and compiles by using:
lyx -batch -f -e latex finalproject-report.lyx
and generates finalproject-report.tex and compiles it.
There are a lot of errors in LaTex that aren't important and annoying . I
have installed all LaTex packages in Linux .
Here is the makefile code: http://sprunge.us/WhPi
Going back to the error subject:
The LyX gives three errors when I try to compile:
(1)
\floatstyle
{}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
(2)
\newfloat
{}{}{}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
(3)
\floatname
{}{\protect\name}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
Here is the complete error log : http://sprunge.us/aQXJ
Here is the latex generated preamble : http://sprunge.us/eHWi
In the tex source code I 've seen that : Lyx automatically inserts this
codes.
\DeclareTextSymbol{\~}{LGR}{126}
%% Because html converters don't know tabularnewline
\providecommand{\tabularnewline}{\\}
\floatstyle{}
\newfloat{}{}{}
\providecommand{\name}{}
\floatname{}{\protect\name}
If I compile by exporting to tex and doing : pdflatex
monografia-parcial18.tex it will give the same errors that are reported in
Lyx.
If I remove this codes in the tex file and compile it , there won't be any
errors reported and any issues.
If I don't remove this trouble code and export to Tex and do: pdflatex
<file>.tex and hit CR every time and do all others steps like bibitex,
makeindex and forcing the compilation. It will build the target pdf file
as expected. That is what the makefile does.
I believe that another benefit of Makefile is more control and make more
easier to find the errors by viewing the error log file and all the
compilation process. In addition the user can add more automation like
version control , send to remote repository ... The makefile is one the
best Unix tools.
I hope this Makefile be useful to someone.
Regards,
Caio
