BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ footbib Compilation Issues

[jonfucius]

I have been trying to get footbib working on my machine (using TeXnicCenter and MiKTeX 2.8). Every time I try to run BiBTeX on my document, I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

I found no \citation commands---while reading file <example.aux>
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file <example.aux>
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file <example.aux>

Below is a MWE - 'Blarg' is my placeholder text and may be changed at will.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,openany]{book}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{footbib}
\usepackage{harvard}
\begin{document}

Blarg \footcite{Blarg}

\footbibliographystyle{apsr}
\footbibliography{BlargBib}
\end{document}

Did you remember to run bibtex on the .fb.aux file rather than the usual .aux file? (See page 2 of the footbib documentation to see what I mean.)

I read through the footbib documentation several times, but I could not get TeXnicCenter to run BiBTeX on the .fb.aux file. What commands do I need to pass to BiBTeX in order for it to ignore the regular .aux file?

[frabjous]

I don't use Windows, and hence cannot use TeXnicCenter. Hopefully someone else will come along with concrete advice, but if you were running from the terminal or command prompt, it would just be a matter of putting in:

Code: Select all

bibtex filename.fb.aux

rather than:

Code: Select all

bibtex filename.aux

(It'll all the .aux part if you leave it off, so it would be fine to use "bibtex filename.fb" instead.)

Working with the command prompt on Windows is always more difficult than it is on mac or linux though, and I have little experience with it.

There should be a way to get TeXnicCenter to do it; hopefully someone with access to that software will speak up.
