How to compile Latex on Linux, and what’s the needed packages?
On Fedora, the packages needed can be simply installed via:
# yum install texlive* dvipdfmx
To compile a latex document (say doc.tex) with bibtex used:
$ latex doc
$ bibtex doc
$ latex doc
$ latex doc
$ dvips doc.dvi
$ ps2pdf doc.ps
The doc.pdf will be generated.
A simple Makefile for automatically compiling the Latex document can be found here: https://www.systutorials.com/b/linux/1643/a-simple-makefile-for-latex/
We can specify more options to ps2pdf: How to convert a ps file to a pdf file.
