Hi,

I tried to compile the file. But get the Emergency stop at the settings_epfl_template.tex.

Here's the output:

Files\MiKTeX\tex/latex/amsmath\amsmath.sty
For additional information on amsmath, use the `?' option.

I tried both overleaf, local in windows and mac. All not work which is weird

A quick update. I tried pdfLatex alone it works, but not with bibtex. It's weird.

I did compiled this for about one month. Suddenly, it's not work today.

I had the same issue, using the LaTeX workshop extension in VS Code. The fix for me was to add
% !TEX root = ../my_thesis.tex
at the top of head/settings_epfl_template.tex .
🤷‍♂️

In Overleaf, I could fix the error by changing the Main Document in the settings to my_thesis.tex instead of head/settings_epfl_template.tex.
