## Compilation
|
||
|
||
### Requirements
|
||
|

sudo apt-get install texlive-full inkscape # For SVG support
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Build PDF
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd /home/rajames/CLionProjects/StarForth/patent
|
||
pdflatex patent_v3_complete.tex
|
||
pdflatex patent_v3_complete.tex # Second pass for references
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Output
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Known Issues
|
||
|
||
### Unicode Characters
|
||
|
||
Some unicode characters (≈, ₀, φ) cause warnings but PDF still compiles. To fix:
|
||
|
||
```latex
|
||
% Replace:
|
||
φ ≈ 1.618 → $\varphi \approx 1.618$
|
||
λ₀ = 256 → $\lambda_0 = 256$
|
||
f₀ = 0.667 → $f_0 = 0.667$
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Already correct in most places, minor fixes needed in conclusion section.
