beamer code and auctex

[Andrea Crotti]

I'm trying to put some nicely colored code in my org-beamer
presentation.

On one machine I have minted but it's not found and the other is not
installed, but I guess that's a latex problem.
With lstlisting it kind of work but the font is way too big and not very
nice, but I'll try again maybe to see if I can get it better...

The problem is that I use auctex for latex files, and the first time it
asks a value for the tex-master file.

Isn't it possible to disable this and why does it asks since I'm using
pdflatex directly, right?

Thanks,
Andrea

You can customise auctex to do what you want.  From
[[info:auctex#Multifile]],

,----
|    When you, for example, ask AUCTeX to run a command on the master
| file, it has no way of knowing the name of the master file.  By default,
| it will assume that the current file is the master file.  If you insert
| the following in your `.emacs' file AUCTeX will use a more advanced
| algorithm.
| 
|      (setq-default TeX-master nil) ; Query for master file.
`----

Set this variable to t to indicate that all files are "masters" by
default, I believe.  Even though you are using pdflatex directly, you
are prompted because the tex file is being loaded in the process of
creating that pdf.
