[Tex/LaTex] Cannot run .bib file on TeXmaker

bibliographiesbibtextexmaker

This question is indeed similar to this one: I open my Bibliographie.bib file in Texmaker and push the F11 button to "run" the file but then get

Process started

I couldn't open file name `Bibliographie.aux'

Process exited normally

My problem however was not solved by following the suggestions of the other post: I did go to > Option > Configure Texmaker
then click on the "Use a "build" subdirectory for output files"
and change the Bib(la)tex line to bibtex build\%
(I also tried "bibtex build/% -include-directory=build")

and that would just give me the same message:

Process started

I couldn't open file name `build/Bibliographie.aux'

Process exited normally

My bibliography file certainly has no inner mistakes since it worked perfectly on my old computer. The problem appeared as I changed to a new computer with a more recent version of Texmaker, but my files themselves have not changed.

OOhhh: I do not have any Bibliographie.aux file at least in the same directory as my other files… but as far as I remember, it was also the case in my old computer.

Ok, my mistake: instead of "running" pdf lateX, I would just use the F1 button.

This is what I used to do with my old computer and I thought it was pdflatex compiling.

Every finally worked when I indeed run Bibtex = F11, then pdflatex = F6 (not F1), then again (F6)
