re: Axiom blockage and Latex process If one of the pamphlet files has a Latex syntax error the build will quietly block. There was a (arguably bad) design decision to send all of the latex output to a temporary file (by default obj/tmp/trace) so that the latex output would not dominate the screen noise. You can find this variable in the Makefile.pamphlet file as NOISE="-o ${TMP}/trace" Unfortunately Latex likes to put up a read to the console when it has a failure. This makes the build appear to hang (you could type X at it (twice, since the latex is done twice to get cross-references correct) and it should continue. If you do make NOISE= you'll override the redirection, the latex output will come to the console and you will see the TeX output and prompt at the point of failure. I'm open to discussion of better ways to handle this. Tim address@hidden address@hidden
