Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Calling of MakeIndex causes Problems

[prayforme]

hey

I'm new to LaTeX and TeXmaker and would like to do my first document, but I got some problems with this. I took the example from

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX#Aufb ... _Dokuments

but this doesn't work, when I want to translate it to PDF, I receive the message:

Code: Select all

Process started

Input index file dokument.nlo not found. Usage: makeindex [-ilqrcgLT] [-s sty] [-o ind] [-t log] [-p num] [idx0 idx1 ...]

Process exited with error(s)

I use MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXmaker. I did look at many pages, and think it has do do something with MakeIndex, that this is missing or the TeXmaker options and the link to MakeIndex. I switched this two things many times in some varieties, but nothing changed on the error message.

Can anybody help me out?

Hi,

welcome to the board!

How exactly did you call makeindex? I read your post earlier and I would have answered, but this important information is missing.

Hey Stefan,

what do you mean with "how i call makeindex"

The error appears, when I try to "Quick Build" my programm. I took an example from wikipedia, so it should work.

This what you mean with your chosen topic title.

makeindex is an external program. It can be called at the command prompt, or by the editor, which can be configured. If you don't need it, remove what calls it. The linked example doesn't need makeindex.

The error message "Input index file dokument.nlo not found" looks like you use nomencl and \makenomenclature / \printnomenclature. Also this is not in the example. If you don't need it, remove it.

The example from Wikipedia compiles smoothly with quick build. Default configuration is attached as screen capture.
