General ⇒ makeglossaries problem with WinEDT 6.0

[rlow]

Hi all,

I'm using makeglossaries with WinEDT6.0 I've been searching through the forums but I can't figure out what's going on. I click on makeglossaries in the TeX menu of WinEDT 6.0 and I get the below output. It basically says that in my .glo file I have 1 rejection. I don't understand why I have this rejection.

Furthermore, if we are using WinEDT6.0's inbuilt function for makeglossaries which really uses makeindex, do I still need to install ActivePerl?

Please help. This is driving me nuts and I've spent hours trying to figure out whats going on.

Thanks,
R

This is the output I get on the WinEDT 6.0 console screen

This is my output in my gls file

(indexentry :tkey (("na\\\"{\\i }ve portfolio" "\\glossaryentryfield{naive portfolio}{\\glsnamefont{na\\\"{\\i }ve portfolio}}{Equally-weighted portfolio of assets which is re-balanced each time period}{\\relax }") ) :locref "2" :attr "glsnumberformat" )

You've specified xindy when loading glossaries, so if WinEdt is calling makeindex, it will fail as the .glo file will be in xindy format. I don't use WinEdt, so I can't help with that. I don't know if the inbuilt function uses the makeglossaries Perl script or if it just calls makeindex. Maybe someone else can say how the function works.

Hi Nicola,

the command line states the following

makeindex.exe -s OriginalConfirmation.ist -t OriginalConfirmation.glg -o OriginalConfirmation.gls "OriginalConfirmation.glo"

I've removed the xindy option when I include the glossaries package

It still states the following :- =(

Scanning input file OriginalConfirmation.glo..done (0 entries accepted, 1 rejected).
Nothing written in OriginalConfirmation.gls

Thanks for trying to assist me. Hopefully someone else knows what the WinEDT 6.0 Makeglossary function under TeX does. I'm not quite sure myself aside from the output shown from the command line interface

Did you rerun latex before calling the makeglossaries function?

There should be more information about what's gone wrong in OriginalConfirmation.glg
