With the tufte-book class and this MWE

\documentclass{tufte-book}
\begin{document}
  Test
\end{document}

I get two warnings:

Package ifplatform Warning: shell escape is disabled, so I can only detect \ifwindows.

Second one:

Package bibentry Warning: You have used \nobibliography* 
(bibentry) without a following \bibliography.

On the other hand, these lines work without any warnings:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
  Test
\end{document}

Who has an idea what is causing the warnings and how to avoid them?

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! These warnings come from packages used by the class. You can ignore them. Btw: The first warning can be avoided by using --shell-escape as parameter for your latex compiler. – TeXnician Apr 04 '17 at 19:39

    although don't use --shell-escape just to avoid the warning (and only use it on trusted files) – David Carlisle Apr 04 '17 at 19:53

You can fix the bibliography warnings with the nobib option:

\documentclass[nobib]{tufte-book}

A crude way to also get rid of the ifplatform warning is using the silence package:

\RequirePackage{silence}
\WarningsOff[ifplatform]
\documentclass[nobib]{tufte-book}

Line 1 loads the package, using \RequirePackage as \usepackage isn't allowed before \documentclass.

Line 2 disables all warnings from ifplatform.
