I'm trying to implement the nomencl
package in my Master's thesis, but I'm experiencing serious trouble when it comes to make latexmk
/makeindex
create or update the nls
file. I ended up creating the nls
file manually from terminal (according to the nomencl
documentation), but it won't update. I'm using TeX Live and Sublime Text 2 with LaTeXTools.
So, according to quite wide web I'm not the only one having troubles making nomencl
and latexmk
/makeindex
communicate properly. According to one thread, I tried to add the following code to a latexmkrc
file:
# for nomenclature
add_cus_dep("nlo", "nls", 0, "nlo2nls");
sub nlo2nls {
system("makeindex $_[0].nlo -s nomencl.ist -o $_[0].nls -t $_[0].nlg");
}
I found no less than 8 latexmkrc
files on my Mac, none of them located according to the latexmk
documentation, and with no response to print('Hello, world!');
added to any of the files. I also tried to make a latexmkrc
file in /opt/local/share/latexmk/LatexmK
(and /opt/local/share/latexmk
, just in case). Neither responds to
Hello, world!
My question is: how do I get the nls
file to be created and updated automatically?
Best Answer
Just in case you want
latexmk
, the first step is to verify your current version withlatexmk -v
at the command line/terminal; current version is 4.35, dated 11 Nov 2012. Otherwise update your TeXlive distribution or update to the latest via latexmk at ctan.Add the custom dependency commands depending on your requirements in a
.latexmkrc
file in your home directory using Terminal (Linux). For yournomencl
example see examplerc scripts at ctanwith the following contents
Then it should work with
latexmk
, it worked for me at least.
