General ⇒ a problem about compile

[clement]

hi:
I encounter a problem about compile.
i use winedit to compile the tex file, after compile
I press dvipdfmx, and it return an error message which show
dvipdf return nonzero exit code. However, if I use PDFLatex,
the result is correct.
How to make sure the problem, and how to debug latex in future,
does there exist any debug message tools or any command can help
that, thanks.

Obviously your code contains something that only works with the pdflatex compiler engine but not with latex (which outputs DVI). Build a minimal working example (MWE) to show the problem. The exact error message will also be helpful.


Best regards

sorry, I can't use this approach to debug the error.
It seems the winedit will record the process, and even
I delete one rest by rest, the final result is the same.
the error shows "dvi2pdf return nonzero exit code(1)
indicating that some problems might have occurred during the
compilation";

Is there any other good method?

Just build a small, complete and compilable example that reproduces the error.
