Kile ⇒ Auxiliary Files in Sub-directory

[Sjmacewan]

Hello everyone,

In an effort to keep my directories clean I have created a sub-directory of the directory where my .tex files live called "tmp". I enable the writing of the output files to this directory by using the following option in the LaTeX command from the Build panel of Kile's Configure menu:

Code: Select all

-output-directory=tmp -interaction=nonstopmode '%source'

This part works fine. To be clear the directory structure is like so:

Code: Select all

document
  -file.tex
  -morefiles.tex
  -file.bib
  -tmp/
    --file.aux
    --file.dvi
    --morefiles.aux
    --.....

I then proceed to create a bibliography files in the main directory (the same one where the .tex files are) "file.bib" and add it to my primary .tex file file.tex by
\bibliography{file.bib}. When I try to compile now I am met with the following error.

Code: Select all

[Bibtex: The file /full/path/file.aux does not exist.]

The problem here is that it is looking for the aux file in the main directory and not the sub-directory where they are put.

I have tried using the following option for BibTeX with no change in this result.

Code: Select all

--include-directory="./tmp" "./tmp/%S"

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
