Description Thomas Braun 2009-07-23 22:27:25 UTC 
Version:           2.0.82 (using 4.2.98 (KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3)), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc

Currently kile can automatically rerun latex if the index is too old or the bbl file or if we got embedded asymptote code.

But if you have a \tableofcontents one has to manually invoke latex twice. This is annyoing. The problem here is that latex does not complain in any way that the toc is too old. One idea taken from http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/2576/check-if-you-need-to-run-latex-to-update-the-toc is to compare the old toc before the latex run and the toc file after the latex run.

A work around is to set as latex tool the following code.
Command:
####
cp '%S'.toc '%S'.toc.bak;
####

Options:
####
latex -interaction=nonstopmode '%source';
cmp -s '%S'.toc '%S'.toc.bak;
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
latex -interaction=nonstopmode '%source';
fi
####
