I seem unable to configure TexMaker's quick build so that if I have a .bib file, and a .tex file in a directory, and I click 'Quick Build' once, I get a PDF.
Can someone either tell me the sequence of commands I need to run, or the ordered list of commands I need to include in the wizard?
And I would like it to work both from a clean state and when files like .bbl,.aux,.blg or anything already exist.
(I'm using MikTex 2.9)
It may sound quite strange, but you have to use exactly the same command as you use to open the external PDF viewer! This is because the code to run the external programs (the function Texmaker::RunCommand located in texmaker.cpp, ll.5433-5596 in the sources) checks if the command to be executed is the PDF viewer, and runs the internal viewer instead of the external program if it is activated.
In order to use the internal PDF viewer, you have to select Pdf Viewer->Built-in Viewer and disable the in the Embed checkboxOptions->Configure Texmaker->Commands menu. Now you'll be able to launch Texmaker's viewer by using the same command in the Quick Build->User input field as stated in Commands->Pdf Viewer->External Viewer.
No program you use in your Quick Build command line must exit with an error, otherwise the execution will be aborted and the viewer won't be shown.
Yes. Open your main file and use the Options menu to Define Current Document as 'Master Document'. See below.

The preferences panel for QuickBuild has a button called "LatexMk + View PDF" that should be what you need, at least if your TeX distribution is TeX Live (I don't know if MiKTeX provides
latexmk).For MiKTeX, you can try activating the button "User" and writing in the box
