Non working ArXive file

Question

I have un-tarred an interesting book from here but when trying to compile the file "2categories_book.tex" the following error occurs : And after pressing enter even more errors occur! How can I fix it ?

Kind of the same problem as here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/575799/134574. In XeTeX, \pdfcreationdate is called \creationdate. — Phelype Oleinik, Dec 21 '20 at 14:21
Right now I'd say "Use pdftex" answers the question. Is it enough or do you want to make it work with xetex? — campa, Dec 21 '20 at 14:42
@PhelypeOleinik I have succeeded to compile it with LaTeX in WInEdt but WinEdt has created a 2categories_book.dvi **but I need a 2categories_book.pdf file. How can I fix this (at best not manually) ? — user2925716, Dec 21 '20 at 14:51
@daleif I works fine, but it takes 3 minutes to compile the entire .pdf. Any hack to make it faster ? — user2925716, Dec 21 '20 at 14:56
@PhelypeOleinik A similar 600 page long book by Shelah took just 5 seconds. — user2925716, Dec 21 '20 at 15:03
@user2925716 Yes, but it's 500 pages filled with TikZ pictures, which do take some time to process. What did the other book you mentioned have? Only text? You can try the external library for TikZ to pre-compile the pictures. It will take a really long time on the first run, but it might improve the other ones. You can also use \includeonly{<file>} to compile chapters separately. But if you just want to build the whole thing once, I find 3 minutes a reasonable time — Phelype Oleinik, Dec 21 '20 at 15:06
It didn't take 3 minutes with pdftex for me, though it was indeed a long rune (maybe 45 seconds). If the code contains lots of tikz pictures, then it takes time. Furthermore Windows is usually slower than linux. — campa, Dec 21 '20 at 15:06
Additionally my TeXLive pass had to generate bbm fonts as they are only available as Type3 bitmap. I'm also getting a lot of Missing character: There is no X in font nullfont! for various values of X — daleif, Dec 21 '20 at 15:10
@PhelypeOleinik Yes Shelah is almost text only. BTW I was trying to gunzip the file from ArXive but it was not possible to do so. IT was only possible to untar it with tar -xvf though it is claimed that the format is source.tar.gz. So I have downloaded both, the tar.exe and gunzip.exe but the latter claims that the file is not in .gz format. Depsite this, the tar.exe -xvf works. What's wrong here (i.e. I was trying to obtain source.tar with gunziped .tar but this was not possbile) ? — user2925716, Dec 21 '20 at 16:30
@user2925716 Maybe gunzip checks the file extension (for some reason). But the source is .tar.gz indeed. And tar understands a gzipped file, that's why it worked — Phelype Oleinik, Dec 21 '20 at 16:46
@campa Yes I have made it work with pdflatex and this suffices for me for now. — user2925716, Dec 21 '20 at 20:39
