Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ osx texmaker + texlive

[luk1990]

hi
i was wondering if there is some kinda set up tutorial for texmaker.
i have no idea which settings and all those paths i have to use so that texmaker starts working.
i was using texshop with iso latin 9 so far, worked great for me.

now, im working frequently with a college who is using texmaker on windows (he also doesent know which settings to use, especially which editor font encoder)

which editor font encoder do i have to use?
all paths?

thx for ur input, pictures are attached

In most cases Texmaker sets the paths as needed and you do not need to worry.
Concerning the inputencoding, all of you should agree to use utf8. Please do backups of your files.

The simplest way to recode files is to open them in your favourite editor, copy everything and save it with texmaker (of course after changing the encoding to utf8).

If you have manny files, you can use tools that to the conversion for you. But usually above mentioned method works fine for a few files.

BTW: Your TeX Live dates back to 2007 which is long long gone. You can either install TeX Live 2013 or wait till june for TL2014.
Disclaimer: Some packages might have changed in a way that your document isn't compilable anymore and needs some adjustments.

the problem with utf8 and the standart settings is, that it doesent works!
i tried usepackage with utf8, even in texshop, i just got a lotta errors till i change to iso latin9.

is it correct, that i have to insert it in the main .tex file, like \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}

[Johannes_B]

You have to change the option from latin9 to utf8 after saving the file as utf8.

If problems persist, please give a more specific description.

so, how can i save it as utf? just set UTF8 in settings and press save.

i attach you my main.tex file, which was working fine with texshop.
this template is given by my school.
could you check it what i have to change for texworks? under "load standart packages", there is a section named manually added, please advice!

thx

[Johannes_B]

I already wrote how to save files.

Your editor (texmaker) has the default setting utf8, your main file is utf8 encoded as well.
What does your friend/colleage use?

BTW: There are some packages that are highly obsolet in your template file. Please read some more about that at Maximale Vorlage vs. Minimale Probleme.

so why cant i compile it when there is no error?
there must be some settings i didnt setup yet.

[Johannes_B]

Can you give some more information? Does a minimal example compile?

[luk1990]

i added 2 examples, the first one is a minimal code, the second one is a project that works just fine on texshop, not on texmaker.

i had to add it elsewhere because the size limit is reached.

You can input code inside the code environment, this way a link (»open in writelatex«) is available, so you can test the code online.

Did you save the file explicitely with the file ending tex? Do you have a TeX-Distribution installed?
