You can put code into your question and use the {}
button, it looks far lore readable than in comments.
You have
e\protect\[0.1em] country\protect\[0.2em]}
\[
starts display math mode (which never finds a matching \]
) You intended
e\protect\\[0.1em] country\protect\\[0.2em]}
To force a line break

With the following MWE everything works fine for me (the new file moderncvcolorburgundy.sty
is placed in your current directory but you can also put it in your local TEXMF-tree).
I have the current version of moderncv
installed (moderncv 2013/02/09 v1.3.0
) and I recommend an update, if you use an older one!
Your errors for \name
and \phone
means, that this macros are not defined (in your used document class). @Xavier said in a comment, that \name
and \phone
will be new commands in version 1.4.0, not yet available on CTAN. One of the benefits being that you can specify as many phone numbers as you want, a common request.
With version 1.3.0 you have to use the macros I used in my MWE.
The second error seems to be, that your color burgundy
seems to be very near to purple
. To check whether your burgundy file works delete the comment sign in line
%\definecolor{color1}{rgb}{0.2,0.2,0.2}% Testcolor
and add it in the line before. On my system now the color changes significantly ...

It seems that you haved mixed different versions of moderncv
. Just do not do this. If you want to change files of a package, do never change the files in your system TeXFM tree, copy them in your local tree or copy (if possible) it in your current directory with your current cv. A new color file can be placed in the current directory or a local TeXMF-tree.
The warning
LaTeX Warning: You have requested package `moderncvcolorburguny',
but the package provides `moderncvcolorpurple'.
shows you, that you have called a file moderncvcolorburguny.sty
but the macro \ProvidesPackage
named it moderncvcolorpurple
. Seems that you forgot to change the name there when receiving this warning. (BTW: I never got this message with your given MWE.)
Best Answer
I can see several missunderstandings in your question.
c:/documents
. Create there an sub directory, for examplelatex
. There you can write your own tex code, for examplemwe.tex
. You can open and compile this filec:/documents/latex/mwe.tex
with your editor, TeXWorks, TeXnicCenter, WinEDT etc.moderncv
should you only install with the installing or updating or package manager program of MiKTeX. Theese programs knew better that you where and how to install classmoderncv
.mwe.tex
, because now MiKTeX is able to find and run classmoderncv.cls
and related files.moderncv
has been changed and uses now fontawesomefont
to display symbols for a telephone etc. After the first change there was a bug resulting with the message aboutawesomefonttwo
. That bug was fixed. To get no warning messages use LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX to compile:lualatex mwe.tex
.pdflatex
use the following modified MWE (see my changes marked with<======
in the code).Changed
mwe.tex
to be compiled withpdflatex
:It compiles on my current MiKTeX 2.9 with
moderncv 2.0.0
with only three warnings (caused in another bug inmoderncv
which has to be corrected by the author of the class) and no errors.
