"Can't create output index file" error using TeXnicCenter

Post by LilleDino »

Hi

I am trying to create an index using TeXnicCenter (MiKTeX 2.9). I am using the makeidx package and have added \makeindex to my preamble.
I have compiled my document and the .idx-file has been created. In my understanding I should now press Build -> MakeIndex, but this provides the error message "Can't create output index file C:\Users\...\speciale.ind"

Can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance.

I figured it out. The problem was solved by changing %bm to %tm in the MakeIndex option.

Here is what I did:
Go to build > Define Output Profiles (Alt+F7)
Change %bm to %tm in the MakeIndex option.
