.aux file not created

Post by kwyffels »

Hi guys,
I am using TeXnicCenter 1.0 Stable Release Candidate 1 and MikTex 2.8.
From my main project .tex file I try to include a few other .tex files using
\include{filename}

It works just fine for 3 of the 4 files I try to include, but the most recent file has the following problem:
When I try to build and view output using LaTeX => PDF it does not create a filename.aux file for the file I am trying to include. It then subsequently gives a warning that it cannot find filename.aux and, of course, does not include it in the PDF output.
However, the file does show up in the project hierarchy in the left hand pane of the TeXnicCenter GUI.

I have already made sure that my MikTex settings are such that it automatically gets necessary packages without asking me. Other than that, I am stumped!
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Check the log file for any irregularities (warnings, error messages).


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you for the warm welcome to the board!

I have checked the log and only found one thing that looks irregular. It appears 3 times in the log but it is not particularly illuminating:

No file NewWork.aux \\ This is the file I am having the problem including

Although, I am new to LaTeX so if the log comment doesn't have a hackneyed red flag word like "Warning", "Error", "Failed", etc... I may not notice it as being irregular.

Anything in particular I can look for that would cause it not to create a .aux file for this TeX document, but be successful with the others?

Thanks!

Hello all,

I am having the same issue! This happens after a fresh re-installation of all related to LaTeX (Miktek, TexnicCenter & the like)... any help?

Try to compile from the command line and see what happens.
