BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ When building a BiBTeX it just shows [?]

[firass]

Hello, I'm new to this forum.

My problem is as follows.
When I try to build my pdf, the pdf works and everything looks great, except the bibtex.

I'm using TeXmaker 2.6 with Win7.

The thing is, it works with TeXnicCenter but if it could work with TeXmaker, I would be a happy little boy!

I have tried the "pdflatex -> bibtex -> 2x pdflatex" thingy.

I use a preamble to define my documents, where the code to the bibtex is as follows.

Code: Select all

There are no warnings or errors, it just wont produce the bibtex and all i get is alot of [?] - can anyone please help me with it?

[josephwright]

Please post a full example, and also consider sending the log files (.log and .blg) that you get when you compile it.

[firass]

Well I can't find a .blg file that matches the date, so that might be the problem or?

An example of the code or the output?

Edit by localghost: No external links for attachments!

As I said, the document can be compiled and viewed afterwards, but as it is seen from the image (might be a bad one, tell me if u want a higher quality image), the bibtex doesn't work, even though i tried the fancy pancy pdflatex->bibtex->2x pdflatex trick!

Attachments shall be uploaded to the forum server (see Board Rules). External links can get lost with time and make problem incomprehensible.

When asked for a minimal example, this is meant to be a minimal working example (MWE) [1,2]. The operative word is »minimal«. Complete (log) files should be uploaded as attachment to the forum server.

I thought the first post was a MWE, but he asked for an example, so I just thought he wanted everything.

Ask me for anything and I will post it.
I dislike TeXnicCenter, but the BiBTeX works there, so if I could get TeXmaker to do the same, that would be very nice.
It might be my bibtex compiler that is the problem, it seems when I try to compile the bibtex, it finishes just after I clicked the button, as if it didn't do it, but it says "Process started ... Process exited normally".

And thanks for the welcome

Just follow the links in my last reply and you know exactly how to build a MWE.

[...] I dislike TeXnicCenter, but the BiBTeX works there, so if I could get TeXmaker to do the same, that would be very nice. [...]

TeXnicCenter (TXC) starts BibTeX by default in all its output profiles. I don't know anything about TeXmaker (TXM). But I think that the TeXmaker Documentation (Section 1.2) should provide help on configuring this editor.

[...] It might be my bibtex compiler that is the problem, it seems when I try to compile the bibtex, it finishes just after I clicked the button, as if it didn't do it, but it says "Process started ... Process exited normally". [...]

I don't think so. Compiling the bibliography with BibTeX usually takes not much time and the message says that everything went right. You have to do at least two more compiler runs to get all the references right. I assume that TXM has a »Quick Build« function. Perhaps you can configure it in a way that BibTeX is also executed.

I've tried before with 2 or more compiler runs, without the wanted results.
TXM have a quick build function, I don't actually know how to code it, so it would do pdflatex -> bibtex -> 2x pdflatex

But if anyone knows, please let me know

[firass]

Okay, now I got TXM to work with the quick build function (pdflatex -> bibtex -> 2x pdflatex) automatic, still nothing happens so I have gathered this little MWE (I hope is enough) and the .log file.

Woo, I fixed it!

Apparently the TXM is more sensitive to how the bibtex is written, for example.

[Mimmi]

Hello everybody.

I have a similar problem. I use WinEdt 6 and MikTex 2.7.

Somehow, my Bibliographia doesn´t show up in my Paper at all, although I inserted it und instead of references I have only [?].


Can anybody help me?
Do I need any additional package?
