Manual Building issues

<< < (3/5) > >>

AlexP:
Thank you, that is finally clear.

The question now should be what is the image missing that means the manual doesn't build properly.  Which image did you download?  This one?:

I see you were active in this thread, and the only person that replied having tried manual builds had no issues.

BdN3504:
i am using the "old" image. you think it'll work with the one in that thread?

AlexP:
I haven't tried it personally, but the one person in that thread that tried it said it worked.

I wouldn't be surprised if the old one has some missing/outdated packages - did you try updating it?

BdN3504:
no, i did not directly update it with "apt-get update" or "apt-get upgrade" but i installed utf-8 suppport and mingw. i'll try manual building with the new image in a few moments, will report back if it's not working.

Then building the manual itself is working.

This simply means that the sources haven't been LaTeX'ed often enough to resolve the references. That's somewhat strange as the Makefile takes care about this. You should check if the LaTeX run that is actually running is the only one -- probably some error occurs which makes the make run stop after the first invocation.

And copying a file around and building with a differen LaTeX version is neither a good idea nor a solution. Posting a complete log to some pastebin site might help.
