[Scons-users] how to get bbl output of pdflatex?

[David Roundy]

Hi Dirk,

I can reproduce the error using your code with the following sequence:

scons # works fine
rm foo.bbl
scons # fails

Error message:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
tar -c -f arxiv.tar.gz foo.bbl foo.ltx
tar: foo.bbl: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
scons: *** [arxiv.tar.gz] Error 2
scons: building terminated because of errors.

I could also reproduce a slightly different error by adding

import os
CacheDir(os.environ['HOME'] + '/.cache/scons')

to the beginning of the SConstruct file, and then running

scons -c # clear out everything
scons # works fine, runs latex
scons -c # clear it out again
scons # fails, with puzzling error message, after pulling foo.pdf out of
the cache

Error message:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
Retrieved `foo.pdf' from cache
scons: done building targets.

scons: *** Found dependency cycle(s):
  Internal Error: no cycle found for node arxiv.tar.gz (<SCons.Node.FS.File
object at 0x2045bd0>) in state pending


So your script doesn't seem to me to work very well, precisely because
there is no rule for generating the bbl file.

David
