Using TeXMaker
as the LaTeX
editor I have been working with the MikTeX
distribution for a number of years, successfully. Hearing it suggested that Tex Live
may have a compilation speed advantage over MikTeX
, I recently installed TexLive
to see for myself, expecting that configuring TeXMaker
to work with TeXLive
in place of MiKTeX
would be an easy thing. The Options
menu offers Configure TeXMaker
tab which provides fields LaTeX
and PdfLaTeX
presumably to be populated with the programs to be executed for LaTeX
and PDFLaTeX
compilations (function keys f2 and f6 respectively). Having found executables pdflatex.exe
in C:/Users/Reinhard Neuwirth/AppData/Local/Programs/MikTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/X64
(my routinely used MikTeX
distribution) as well as in C:/texlive/2018/bin/win32/
(the recently installed TeXLive
distribution) I naively assumed that plugging either one or the other into the PDFLaTeX
field would coerce TeXMaker
to use the targeted distribution for compilation. Not so. The only entry in that field that seems to work is pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
, seemingly the default value - for the LaTeX
field it is latex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
.

If you want to switch the texsystem you must change the path variable. The texsystems often call their tools themselves (e.g. to create a format or a tfm or search for files) and so must be able to find their own binaries. Simply trying to use C:texlive2018binwin32pdflatex.exe
while everything else (including the kpathsea searches) points to miktex gives only chaos.
I don't know if texmaker has an option to change the path during a session -- with my editor winedt it is quite easy to do it on-the-fly by calling a macro.
But you can change the path to texlive between sessions rather easily:
Open a cmd
window. Type
set PATH=C:texlive2018binwin32;%PATH%
hit enter. Test if the correct pdflatex is found by typing
where pdflatex
and then start texmaker from this cmd window by typing in the path to the texmaker exe.
If something doesn't work, simply close texmaker and the cmd
window and the path will be back to normal.
My current situation is that typing at the Command Prompt eitherset PATH=C:UsersReinhard NeuwirthAppDataLocalProgramsMiKTeX 2.9miktexbinx64pdflatex.exe;%PATH%
orset PATH=C:texlive2018binwin32;%PATH%
will result inC:UsersReinhard Neuwirth>where pdflatex C:texlive2018binwin32pdflatex.exe C:UsersReinhard NeuwirthAppDataLocalProgramsMiKTeX 2.9miktexbinx64pdflatex.exe
. The response suggests that PATH is loaded with texlive and miktex. I am doing something wrong here.
