Automatically created Sub-folder

Post by tqa »

Hello everyone,

I've problem for days but I can't find the solution

After compiling, the DVI file couldn't opened. a folder named BUILD auto created on the same directory, it contains all the other files like .aux, .dvi, ...
That's why I can't use the TeXmaker tool to convert in PS, also PDF.

How to make it back normal (DVI, PS, PDF, ... shown in the same folder), please?
(I'm using MiKTeX version 2.9)

Thank you for your help!

Solution there, from texenthusiast:

Starting from TeXmaker 3.4 version
an option "Use a 'build' subdirectory for output files" has been added for the (pdf)latex command (the "--output-directory=build" parameter will be automatically added to the (pdf)latex command and texmaker will search the log and pdf files into this subdirectory - see the user manual for more details)"
- from changelog

Open TeXmaker: go to Options --> Configure --> Uncheck Use "build" subdirectory for output files otherwise all output files will go to subdirectory.
