| Artur Manuel | Hey, I am trying to export PDF files with TeX in Emacs and one of the things I have done is add texliveTeTeX in my extraEmacsPackages. What I have encountered is it complaining about a missing pdflatex, despite the pdflatex binary being provided by Emacs. | 20:47:19 |
| Artur Manuel | Is there any solution to this other than installing texlive on the host? | 20:47:47 |

Is there any solution to this other than installing texlive on the host? extraEmacsPackages is, as the name implies, only for Emacs packages | 03:32:21 |
| Artur Manuel | uf, i should have known | 03:33:03 |
| adisbladis | Normally you'd patch the package to point to a nix store binary | 03:33:09 |
| Artur Manuel | hm, this would mean using makeBinPath right? | 03:34:02 |
| adisbladis | Either the Emacs package in question provides native stuff and you have to override the build to build those (see pdf-tools for prior art) | 03:34:45 |
| adisbladis | Or you can point to the right path using setq | 03:34:56 |
| adisbladis | Probably look at telega for that? | 03:35:07 |
| Artur Manuel | both of those packages are under a libgenerated.nix file, im not the best person at navigating nixpkgs so i dont know too much about what you mean | 03:42:06 |

both of those packages are under a libgenerated.nix file, im not the best person at navigating nixpkgs so i dont know too much about what you mean We auto generate from package repositories, but then also supplement overrides when it doesn't just work out of the box | 03:43:55 |

| adisbladis | I think the second link is more relevant for your case | 03:44:56 |
| adisbladis | Look at the usage of substituteInPlace | 03:45:06 |
| Artur Manuel | cheers 👍️ | 03:48:43 |
| Artur Manuel | seems itll have to be substituted directly in emacs | 03:50:39 |
| Artur Manuel | though probably in a patch phase since the el files that hold together will of course be compiled to make things fast | 03:51:38 |
