Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Redirecting Output Files

[ascatem]

Hi!

Is it possible to redirect the output files of PDFLaTeX in various folders?

For example:
if I have my a.tex file in "\" I want all the useless (for me) stuff automatically created (.gz, .lot, .lof, .aux, .toc, .log) in a proper folder let's say "\tmp\a" and the ".pdf" file in another folder, let's say "\pdf".
So if in "\" I've a.tex and b.tex I'll have a.pdf and b.pdf in "\pdf" and all the other stuff respectively in "\tmp\a" and "\tmp\b".

Is it possible to do that using TeXMaker (on Ubuntu) and the built-in PDFLaTeX or I've to create a script myself to run after PDFLaTeX?

Thanks a lot!

These files are far from being useless. They contain very important information that is needed during the compilation process.

Open a terminal and call the man page of PDFLaTeX.

Code: Select all

man pdflatex

Or call PDFLaTeX with its help function.

Code: Select all

pdflatex -help

Among the command line parameters you will find such useful things like -output-directory.
