nomenclaturetexworks
I would like to use nomencl. I have the following code:
\usepackage{nomencl}
\makenomenclature
\nomenlature{test}{This is a test}
\printnomenclature
\makeindex My_file.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o My_file.nls"
I receive the following error:
No file My_file.nls.
All my files are in the same folder and I can see the nlo file.
I am using TeXworks (pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTeX) and Windows Vista.
The sorting order is correct, because it is performed lexicographically on the prefixes:
1 10 15 2 20 3 6 8 9
Say
\nomenclature[01]{$A,B$}{Countries $A,B$.}
\nomenclature[02]{$C$}{Fixed cost}
\nomenclature[03]{$\underline{C}$}{The lower bound}%
\nomenclature[06]{$E$}{The equilibrium tax rates for the symmetric case.}
\nomenclature[08]{$n$}{The size factor}
\nomenclature[09]{$\overline{n}$}{The value}
\nomenclature[10]{$p_A,p_B$}{The price}
\nomenclature[15]{$\Pi_{kl}$}{The total operating profits }
\nomenclature[20]{$\emptyset$}{The non-entry option}
(0 comes before the other digits)
Your MWE is not correct: you need to typeset something in order that the .nlo file is output. Just add a word after \begin{document}. Here's what I get:
Try adding the .tex extension back on to the file.
I'm not sure why arXiv would remove it,
but many editors will assume that it's there
when running compile sequences.
To see what I mean, compare the compilation for pdfLaTeX and BibTeX:
$ pdflatex myfile.tex
$ bibtex myfile
Note that bibtex doesn't need the file extension
since it also looks at the files generated by the LaTeX run.
Editors like TeXworks (and others, no doubt) will run these sequences for you automatically, but this requires that it knows where the extension is so that it can remove it.
When there is no extension to remove, ambiguities will arise:
$ pdflatex myfile
$ bibtex myfile
It's likely that one of these programs picked up on the 'wrong' myfile,
causing the error that you saw.
(For example, take a look inside the aux file; running pdflatex directly on this file would certainly throw an error.)

The command
\makeindexdoesn't have any arguments. The arguments you are showing must be used for the compilationmakeindex:Suppose your file has the name
demothan you have to callTo test the compilation steps you can use the following MWE:
You can simplify the compilation by using arara:
Add the lines to your header:
and compile the file with
arara. The documentation describes the integration ofararainside TeXWorks.
