[Tex/LaTex] Could not start Default Compiler: PdfLaTeX

editorsmiktextexstudio

I've been using TeXstudio without any problems for a while.
Now, whenever I try to compile some documents I get this error:

"Could not start Default Compiler:PdfLaTeX:
pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmeode "Name_Document".tex

And the message I get is:

"Sorry, but pdflatex.exe did not succeed. You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.
Process exited with error(s)"

Also, if I click on Help–>Check LaTeX Installation I get:

"Could not start :: pdflatex -version"

I've also tried to download again the last version of TeXStudio, but nothing changed. My test code is:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article} 
\usepackage[italian]{babel} 
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 
\usepackage{amsmath} 
\title{\textbf{Titolo}} 
\author{Autori} 
\date{\today} 

\begin{document} 
\maketitle 
\clearpage 
Questo è il mio primo documento in \LaTeX. 
\end{document}

After installing portable MiKTeX I had the same problem running texify with a parameter –-interaction=… I have disabled lines

// IfStr("%$('%!9-No_Interaction');","1",!"=",>
//  !|LetReg(4,'%$("TeX-Opt");--interaction=nonstopmode');|,>
//  !|LetReg(4,'%$("TeX-Opt");--interaction=errorstopmode');|);

in PDFTeXify.edt and have no problems.

Alternative

You can define a user command:

Go To Options → Configure TeXstudio. In the window that opens do the following:

Choose Build and click.
Click Add under User Commands
Fill : user1: Make Glossaries and "C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/makeglossaries.exe" %. You can browse to the exe file also. Note that the path may be different for you. Don't forget the % at the end.
Press OK and come out

Now you will have a user menu for Make Glossaries with a short cut:

Now you can pdflatex Make Glossaries and pdflatex.

Happy Glossing :)

Additional note:

As noted by Speravir, you have to specify "texindy.bat" %.idx instead of texindy.exe %.idx as in the following window.

Edit:

There were some errors in your code. Try this:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage[acronym,nomain,xindy]{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\author{author}
\title{title}

\newacronym[longplural=Inmunoglobulinas]{IG}{IG}{Inmunoglobulina}

\begin{document}

test la \gls{IG} es vital en la protección del ternero hay 5 tipos de \glspl{IG}

\printglossaries

[Tex/LaTex] TeXStudio and MiKTeX Portable – Could not start command

Since version 2.8.6, TeXstudio supports [txs-app-dir] and [txs-settings-dir] as part of the path definition of commands. In your case, something like this should do the trick:

[txs-app-dir]\..\MikTexPortable\miktex\bin\pdflatex.exe

Fur further details, see the manual.
