Latex and emacs on the EDGE with control key
Just for the heck of it, I wanted a working latex/emacs installation on an e-reader and it is in fact rather straightforward on the Edge. The idea is to use the tablet side as an editor and the e-reader side as a viewer. Here are instructions:
install Complete Linux Installer from the market https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nandroid&hl=en I chose the debian package, but I guess it does not matter the installation seems more useable in the command-line than with the graphical interface but for latex/emacs this is good enough do apt-get install latex apt-get install emacs apt-get install auctex then you are set in principle, except for this annoying problem that the control key on an external keyboard does not seem to be working in terminal emulator https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=192757 there is a straightforward workaround: install the version of connectbot where this problem has been fixed http://sourceforge.net/projects/chdi...-ext-keyboard/ put the attached script "launch", which is just the starting script that is executed in the terminal emulator, in the root of your sdcard, remove the .txt extension and make it executable start connectbot with a local connection do su cd sdcard sh launch cd to your (dropsynced) directory that contains your latex files and emacs/latex them on the e-reader side, the latest version of orionviewer for the edge is amazing for viewing the pdf's that you are creating both in portrait and landscape mode |
