LaTeX forum ⇒ Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ TeXstudio | Build only PDF

Hi.

When I do PDFLaTeX then it builds all kinds of files: .aux, .log, .out, .synctex.gz
and I find it very messy.

Is it possible to configure it to build only pdf?

These files are very import for the entire build process of the document.

• The *.aux contains necessary and thus very important information for lists (e. g. for ToC, LoF, LoT, Index, …)
• The *.log file contains the log of the whole building process including warnings and error messages. Substantial for debugging erroneous source code.
• The *.synctex.gz file contains important information for the forward and inverse search between source code and PDF output.
• …

Perhaps your editor supports some kind of cleanup after you have finalized your document. For the present you can call the compiler with a special command line parameter to write all auxiliary files to a certain directory

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

pfdlatex -aux-directory=dir filename.tex

Your editor should support this addition to the command line parameter in its settings.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you very much.


I am still interested in a solution. For example how to clean up afterwards

I am really interested in making the 'aux', 'log' and 'synctex.gz' temporary. I would like to build my file but when i close my editor (Texmaker) these files get deleted automatically
