SublimeLinter-chktex
=========================
[](https://travis-ci.org/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-chktex)
This linter plugin for [SublimeLinter](https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter) provides an interface to [ChkTeX](http://baruch.ev-en.org/proj/chktex/).
It will be used with files that have use LaTeX (or LaTeXing) syntax.
## Installation
SublimeLinter must be installed in order to use this plugin.
Please use [Package Control](https://packagecontrol.io) to install the linter plugin.
Before installing this plugin, ensure that `chktex` is installed on your system.
ChkTeX is available on [CTAN](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/chktex) and comes with e.g. [TeX Live](http://www.tug.org/texlive/) starting with TeX Live 2011, and available for many platforms.
If you are using a TeX distribution which does not include ChkTeX (for example MiKTeX) follow the instructions below to compile ChkTeX manually:
1. Make sure you don't have any [spaces in the path to MikTeX](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30378183/cygwin-make-chktex-command-not-found)
2. Install [cygwin](http://cygwin.com/install.html) with the `make` and `gcc compiler` packages
3. Download [chktex](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/chktex) and save in home directory of cygwin (default is C:\cygwin\home\USER\)
4. In the cygwin bash, run
```
cd c:
cd cygwin64/home/USER
cd chktex-1.7.2
configure
make
make install
```
5. The resulting `chktex.exe` along with `cygwin1.dll` should now be saved in a directory which is registered in the PATH environment variable (for example %MiKTeX Install%\miktex\bin\ is appropriate)
Please make sure that the path to `chktex` is available to SublimeLinter.
The docs cover [troubleshooting PATH configuration](http://sublimelinter.com/en/latest/troubleshooting.html#finding-a-linter-executable).
