[Tex/LaTex] printglossaries print nothing

glossaries

here is my code and I just try from a ShareLaTeX example:

\documentclass[oneside,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
    name=latex,
    description={Is a mark up language specially suited 
    for scientific documents}
}

\newglossaryentry{maths}
{
    name=mathematics,
    description={Mathematics is what mathematicians do}
}

\title{How to create a glossary}
\author{ }
\date{ }

\begin{document}
\maketitle

The \Gls{latex} typesetting markup language is specially suitable 
for documents that include \gls{maths}. 

\clearpage

\printglossaries

\end{document}

I use miktex with Texmaker, build doesn't show any error or warining message. May I know why I can't get \printglossaries work?

I got three pages:

  1. title page, page1, works fine
  2. Content page,page2, work fine
  3. An empty page, page3, suppose to be glossaries

Steps:

  1. run latex build option in texmaker twice
  2. run MakeIndex build option in texmaker
  3. run latex build option in texmaker again

in 2nd step it shows：

Process started

This is makeindex, version 2.15 [MiKTeX 2.9.6500 64-bit] (kpathsea + Thai support). Scanning input file test_gls.idx...done (0 entries accepted, 0 rejected). Nothing written in test_gls.ind. Transcript written in test_gls.ilg.

Process exited normally

Best Answer

find some clue:

Windows with Texmaker (need glossaries version 4.08 or later):

add automake option for package glossaries, then it works for texmaker

\usepackage[automake]{glossaries}

Linux:

  1. pdflatex <yourfile>
  2. makeindex -s <yourfile>.ist -o <yourfile>.acr <yourfile>.acn
  3. pdflatex <yourfile>
  4. pdflatex <yourfile>
