Submitting a Paper to Arxiv with Minted (2025)
Minted/Arxiv
Latex and submitting to Arxiv can cause psycological damage.
Here is what I did:
Do the steps in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/732716/end-of-2024-version-of-how-to-submit-tex-minted-package-to-arxiv
Then https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/519573/arxiv-undefined-references-and-citations-unable-to-convert-to-pdf (though I'm not sure if this is required)
Use https://github.com/google-research/arxiv-latex-cleaner and modify a version
of the following script(replace Cobb with the foldername of your paper)
(possible clean up files if doing this repeatedly rm -r Cobb_arXiv* &&)
arxiv_latex_cleaner Cobb \\
&& cp -r Cobb/minted-cache Cobb_arXiv/minted-cache \\
&& cp Cobb/build/main.bbl Cobb_arXiv/ \\
&& zip -r Cobb_arXiv.zip Cobb_arXiv/Note that you need to specify to minted that you want to use a cache and what directory it will put it in(depends on the version which is annoying. Many posts online are for Minted v2.0, but Minted v3.0 does things differently)
Something like:
\usepackage[cachedir=minted-cache]{minted}to build locally and then
\usepackage[frozencache=true,cachedir=minted-cache]{minted}when submitting to Arxiv.
