General ⇒ Listing of required sty files

[Aengus]

I am moving a file from TexShop on a Mac to a MikTex on a PC. Is there an easy way to determine what style files I use to process a document in TexShop that I will need to install to process a the same document in MikTex?

Thanks in advance,
Dave Robinson

\listfiles will produce a list in the log of all style files, etc., loaded for a given document. Of course, this will vary between documents. However, MiKTeX will tell you what is needed and can download it from the Internet during a LaTeX run.

Usually, that is not necessary, for MikTeX can install missing packages automatically. However, if you do need to find out which files are accessed, a very reliable way employs pdfTeX's filename recorder function (see the corresponding man page).

The difficulty lies in the fact that the report is being processed on a classified machine with no access to an external network.
