Hi all,

I tried to follow the instructions at http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?s ... 4061901344 in order to install kile on MAC but I didn't succeed (I have a MacBook Pro that I've just recently bought). Is there something simpler ?

Thanks.

I've tried to do this, and have also has the same miserable luck; I am looking into why this may be. If I figure it out, I will be sure to let you know.

Hi,

I have a MacBook late 2006 and I am using KILE 2.1 beta5 with http://www.macports.org and a recent MacTeX/TeXLive installation. Works fine here and runs native under OS X. But beware the QT4 package takes about a night and some hours to compile.

Looks pretty good and you can use Preview.app for your PDFs. See linked pictures.

Has anyone figured out how to set Preview as the default pdf reader for Kile when running in Mac OS X? I have a running version now and would like to use quick build to open up my documents in preview.app. Any ideas? What settings should I change?

Settings -> Tools -> Build

There ViewPDF. Press "New…" and name the configuration.

Change command to "open" and options to "'%target'" (both without the "")
This will open the pdf with the default viewer for OS X. You don't have to close the pdf to recompile the tex file. A nice feature.

See screenshots for details:

Ahh, neither of the images opened up for me (broken links)

I'll give these instructions a try!

thanks!

Followed your instructions, now opening up in Preview.

Thanks!
