I cannot compile the wacv 2019 author kit.
Before this question gets closed or voted down for being "too narrow" consider the comments to this similar question. Conference templates that don't compile are a problem for potentially ~1k people.

Best Answer
The author kit contains a rogue
eso-pic.sty
based on a very old version of the package (2002/11/16 v1.1b). To make a comparison, TeX Live 2012 ended its life witheso-pic.sty
2010/10/06 v2.0c`.Also, this obsolete version is further modified by adding the line
which is wrong.
Besides,
wacv_eso.sty
appears to be a straight copy ofeveryshi.sty
, includingwhich is the cause for the warning.
It's been a while since
eso-pic
dropped requiringeveryshy
and favoredatbegshi
.The solution of changing
\input{wacv_eso.sty}
into\RequirePackage{everyshi}
is effective.The main package
wacv.sty
features a funny header, where something very strange appears:LaTeX2.09 has been obsolete for about 25 years. The call for
\usepackage{latex8}
will raise an error, as the package is not included in the main TeX distributions and, indeed, the example TeX file doesn't load it. Alsotimes
has been obsolete for more than 20 years andmathptmx
should be used (there is better support for Times nowadays, though).Other funny pieces:
Using
\font
directly in LaTeX has been deprecated since the release of LaTeX2e in 1994.The maintainers of the author kit should do better than just changing the year.
