These instructions assume that you have successfully compiled individual chapters (with no problems) using the instructions on previous web pages..
Create the following directories - substituting '$HOMEDIR' for the
path of your home directory.
There are five 'extra' files to download
Also you need a copy of the 'chapter1_body.tex' file (and all the other chapter*_body.tex files)
in this directory ($HOMEDIR/thesis/all/latex).
All figures in the chapter*_body.tex files must be have the correct full path
to the encapsulated postscript files e.g. in $HOMEDIR/thesis/chapter1/figures
but only the 'tex' files need to be copied into the $HOMEDIR/thesis/all/latex directory.
You will need to edit the thesis.tex file. Substitute all instances of
'/home/bsm/james' with the path of your own home directory ($HOMEDIR).
Check that you have the correctly installed the following style files:
They should all go in the $HOMEDIR/tex directory.
See bibliography style files for more information.
In general you have to observe the following sequence of operations:
latex, bibtex, latex, latex , latex and dvips.
Go to the directory where the .tex files are (e.g. $HOMEDIR/thesis/all/latex).
Remove old postscript files (.ps), dvi files (.dvi) and old bibliography files (.bbl).
Obviously *DO NOT* remove the latex files (.tex).
Assuming your thesis master latex file (different from your chapter master latex file)
is called 'thesis.tex', type the following commands (hit return after each one):
You have to run 'latex' more times to compile your whole thesis (compared with a chapter)
as it has more index files to handle. Basically you can run latex as many times
as you like - just watch for when latex stops reporting errors.
That produce your postscript = thesis.ps
An example of the postscript output can be downloaded here
(thesis.ps). View this file using
ghostview or other suitable postscript viewer..
