General ⇒ TeXnicCenter and BibTeX — Citations appear as [??]

[kerenkapach]

Hello,

I am using TeXnicCenter and having troubles compiling tex file.
I am using bibtex, and the journal_names_long.bib and all.bib are in the same location as the tex file, and also the singlecol-new class.
I am building latex, bibtex and then latex twice. The PDF file is being updated with the changes I am doing although I am getting the error: "Couldn't find input index file". In addition, citation appears as [?] while the reference list is being built OK, and responds to different citation I use.

I read previous answers to the problem, and checked that the path in windows environmental variables and the path in Build->Defile output profiles both contain the 'makeindex.exe' correct location.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

This is an attemp to cite an new article: \cite{Mokeichev}

The citation in the bib file is:

Which TeX distribution do you use (name, version)?


Best regards and welcome to the board

[kerenkapach]

MiKTex 2.9.

Thanks Thorsten.

In this version BibTeX as well as MakeIndex have got a security mechanism that doesn't allow absolute paths any more*. Therefore "%bm" has to be replaced by "%tm" in the corresponding settings of TeXnicCenter (TXC) as shown in the attachment. Start TXC and press Alt+F7 to get the »Profiles« dialog window.


* The same applies to TeX Live 2010.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I changed the command line arguments for BiBTex and MakeIndex, and the error did disappear, but citations still appears as [?]. The references list is being built OK.
I noticed that our command line arguments to pass to the compiler are different:

Should I change that too? Can you please copy the full command line arguments?

Thanks again,
Keren

It will require at least two more compiler runs to get all things right. If the problem persists, attach a minimal example including the resulting log file to your next post by upload to the forum server.
