General ⇒ Why does LaTeX compilation generate no output?

[amaurremi]

Hi, can't generate the output of my LaTex document (using TeXnicCenter). At the end of the log he says:

Code: Select all

Latex-Result: 0 Error(s), 0 Warning(s), 0 Bad Box(es), 0 Page(s)

and correspondingly the viewer says it couldn't find the file. I have defined the path of the pdf viewer but it didn't help. The path of the source document doesn't contain spaces. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

The log file seems to be incomplete. Provide a minimal working example (MWE) that exactly reproduces the misbehaviour. Follow the instructions for building a MWE.

Thank you for your answer, Thorsten. Now I have attached the .tex and .log files (there haven't been generated any other auxiliary files). I hope I got it right with the MWE.

The following text is written in the output:

This is a well known issue related to TeXnicCenter (TXC) [1]. You can access the MiKTeX Options via »Start« menu.

Thank you so much, the problem was because I had set the 'Ask me first' option.

But now I have a different problem (and I'm not sure whether it's necessary to write it somewhere else):

He says that the file 'cp1251.def' hasn't been found, and, as I understand, that means that the package for the Cyrillic font hasn't been installed. But if I try to download it with the package manager he just downloads it and stops doing anything, so is there any way to install it manually? By the way, I have the same problem on different computers.

Choose the closest possible remote repository and try again. Make sure that you selected Russian as additional language in the MiKTeX Options [1]. If necessary, try to reinstall the inputenc package.
