I'm having issues setting up an auxiliary file folder. I have followed the instructions from several different threads but I'm still coming up with an error. Below is the commands I have set up (where "build" is the folder I want to save to):

This is the window that keeps popping up: enter image description here

I know this has been asked several times before but none of the answers seem to solve the problem!

    Do yourself a favour and don't use a build folder. It causes more trouble than it solves. Depending on why you want to use one, there are other solutions. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Feb 02 '18 at 15:49
  • I just dislike the mess they make of the folder. What other solutions are there? – E.Woods Feb 02 '18 at 15:58
  • In this case my suggestion is ltx2any, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/313228/36296 – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Feb 02 '18 at 16:00
  • I use texstudio (latest release) together with a build folder (the directory is called tmp here). Note_1: I told texstudio to use latexmk for compilation, using this parameters: latexmk -outdir=tmp -silent -lualatex -latexoption="-synctex=1 %%O %%S" % Note_2: Add your build directory (here: ./tmp) to the additional search path section in texstudio's configuration tab called "Build", so that texstudio can find the log and the resulting PDF file. That should do the trick. Oh Note_3: I use biber, using these params: biber.exe --output_directory tmp % – lAtExFaN Feb 02 '18 at 18:29

for me the following worked:

go to Options --> Configure --> Commands:

1- PdfLaTeX: pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=build %.tex

2- BibTeX: bibtex.exe build/% -include-directory=build

but my only problem is that i have to create the 'build' folder myself.

I could reproduce the very same error ("Could not restart Recompile:PdfLaTeX:..."). The reasons in my case were twofold:

  1. The error occured if I had \i in my bibtex file, e.g.

    author = {C{'{e}}sar A Rodr{'{\i}}guez-Rosario ...

Removing the \i to i solved the problem

  1. I used the package hyperref wrong: \usepackage[backref]{hyperref}

Correct usage (order is important)

\usepackage[hyperref=true, backref=true, backend=biber]{biblatex}
\usepackage{hyperref}

I removed it, and the problem was solved
