Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ SyncTeX Compiler Option not recognized

[nomdemprunt]

Hello,

I try to use TeXmaker. I make the configuration with the advice of this website. So i configure this.

Code: Select all

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

But the answer of the compiler is always "'-synctex=1' unrecognized option" without any other information. An idea?

Thanks

You can open a terminal or the command line (Windows start -> run -> cmd.exe) and type

Code: Select all

pdflatex --version

press enter and tell us the results.

As Joseph and Johannes guessed, your pdfTeX version is too old and doesn't support synctex yet. You need to update your TeX installation. synctex support has been added in pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.8 (released on 2008-07-10), the newest is pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10. 3.1415926 means the TeX version, 1.40.10 the pdfTeX release.

Hum
I update texmaker but it seems it was not the thing to do to update pdftex.
When i search on internet i just found : you have to update texmaker.
I try but the answer:

Can't install /var/tmp/texmaker_fedora17-3.5.2-xm1.x86_64.rpm as no transaction

Any solution ?
Thanks

Hello,

I'm new in LaTeX, but I've noticed my SyncTeX compiler doesn't work either.

In my case, I'm using TeXmaker 4.1.1 (the latest version I know of) and it doesn't work. I also specified the SyncTeX code

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex/

but still doesn't work.

Have you got any idea of what I can do?

Thank you in advance

The Texmaker version is not the same as the latex version. Please tell us which pdflatex version you use.
