bibliographiesbibtextexstudio
I'm new using TeXstudio and I'm trying to cite the references in my work. But unfortunately I had an error says:
Process started: bibtex build/"bibliographyCitation"
I couldn't open file name `build/bibliographyCitation.aux'
Process exited normally
I searched about solutions for this problem but no one specify how can I know the default folder that has the .aux file? and how can I change it step by step?!
This is the current settings I have:
Thank you
If you are using a ´build´ subfolder for your output files, the generated aux file will be placed there. A simple way to solve this problem is to edit the configuration of Texmaker.
bibtex build\%
This should do the trick. Try to run Bibtex, this should work fine. If you want to use your own defined sequence of executing (PDFLatex BibTex PDFLatex PDFLatex) you need to update that one as well, since this is still stuck with the old bibtex command (without the build\ addition). See the screenshot below for the implementation in the texmaker configuration screen:
Using biblatex will give you more or less the power and benefits from all specialized packages combined in one, the only drawback is that many journals do not accept biblatex, but in my experience that is also the case for bibtex. For your PhD thesis, you are free to choose, so I would recommend biblatex, because it is powerful and flexible.
Below is a working example, mainly copied form Herberts example.
You just have to run pdflatex-biber-pdflatex to see the output.
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{filecontents}
%
\begin{filecontents*}{chap1.tex}
\chapter{Introduction}
\blindtext~\parencite{bertram}
\blindtext~\textcite{doody}
\printbibliography[segment=1,heading=subbibliography]
\end{filecontents*}
%
\begin{filecontents*}{chap2.tex}
\chapter{Grundlagen}
\blindtext~\citep{aksin}
\blindtext~\citet{glashow}
\printbibliography[segment=2,heading=subbibliography]
\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}
\usepackage[refsegment=chapter,style=numeric,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\usepackage[]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true}
\begin{document}
\include{chap1}
\input{chap2}
\end{document}
Some more comments: biblatex does not use the aux file, so you can use include or input as you prefer. biblatex-examples.bibis a file that is included with all major distributions, use a different name for your own .bib file.
If you want to learn more, take a look at these examples or start reading some of the biblatex questions, for example this one or this one.

The theory
In your settings, the bash command associated with BibTeX is:
bibtex build/%. It means: "look for the (implicitely said.aux) file in following folder:<location of the .tex file you're compiling>/build".This is handy when you tell (pdf)LaTeX to put every temporary/auxiliary files in a subfolder (here name
build) in order to keep the original folder "clean". You activate this behavior using the-output-directoryoption while running (pdf)LaTeX (e.g.,pdflatex -output-directory=build/ %.tex).Your case
However, since you did not enabled this feature (i.e., the bash command used for (pdf)LaTeX compiling does not call the
-output-directoryoption), all temp files are created in the same folder than the.texfile you are compiling.But in your case,
bibtexis still looking for the.aux-file in a non-existing subfolder namedbuild:bibtex build/%.The solution
Thus, you should tell
bibtexto look for the.auxfile in the same folder than your.texfile, i.e. writebibtex %instead ofbibtex build/%at the BibTeX line.(Or you could also create a subfolder named
build, and use following commands: pdfLaTeX:pdflatex -output-directory=build/ %.tex; bibTeX:bibtex build/%. But you would also need to update paths for other commands (e.g. pdf-viewer).)
