Looking for some help, most things I find don't seem to work and cause an error. Not sure if because a lot of them are from ~ 2006 kind of age or because i'm on a Mac.

I'm using TexStudio and BibTex. Want to get all the build files into a subfolder so I can set that folder not to sync to cloud. Everytime I build OneDrive proccesses 300+ things, ~ 10 mins or so each time.

For PdfLaTex I've tried using pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=build_folder %.tex but it seems to exit with errors but without error messages.

My subfolder is literally called build_folder. Is that part correct within the code line, do I need quotes or anything?

Thanks for the help

Edit: After I Clean Auxillary Files I get the following message box and errors:

Message box:

  • Not sure if this answer also works on Mac https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/471579/91556 – hesham Sep 12 '20 at 21:26
  • @hesham, unfortunately not. --aux-directory=build_folder was an unrecognized option. I have't tested BibTex or Biber yet but i'll try with -output-folder – Malakan Sep 12 '20 at 21:46
  • @hesham, no luck. I now get a different error:

    ERROR - Cannot find control file 'main.bcf'! - Did latex run successfully on your .tex file before you ran biber?

    I see the file in the subfolder

  • Guess this problem was also reported as https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/issues/1273, and has been resolved there. – muzimuzhi Z Sep 14 '20 at 12:50
  • @muzimuzhiZ wasn't sure of best place to ask. Thanks again for the help – Malakan Sep 14 '20 at 15:02
