Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ How to enable \write18

[Zande]

Hi,

I am havign problems compailing my Thesis. It was working a couple of weeks ago when I handed it in, since then my Mac crased, and I had to start over with a backup.

When I try to compail I get the follow:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013) (format=pdflatex 2014.2.27) 9 JUN 2014 18:20

restricted \write18 enabled.

See more in log file.

It seems that \write18 most be enabled. Can anybody explain how I do that or if there is someting else I should do?

There is no error in the log file indicating you should use write18 (shell-escape). However, you can activate it in the settings. Have a look at this screenshot on TeXwelt.de (look out for pdflatex).
