BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ BibTeX not working

[latexinthesky]

I have some problems with the use of bibtex. I have the idea that bibtex is not running.

I have a file "books.bib"

Code: Select all

@BOOK{KandR,
  AUTHOR  = "Kernighan, Brian W. and Ritchie, Dennis M.",
  TITLE   = "{The C Programming Language Second Edition}",
  PUBLISHER = "Prentice-Hall, Inc.",
  YEAR = 1988
}

and in my .tex file I have \bibliography{books} and

Code: Select all

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, \cite{KandR} consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

the out put is:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, [?] consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

I work in TexMaker with Tex Live. The command for bib(la)tex is "C:/texlive/2012/bin/win32/bibtex.exe" %.aux

bibtex.exe is on that location

Is use the fast compiler and the user compiler with:
"C:/texlive/2012/bin/win32/pdflatex.exe" -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"C:/texlive/2012/bin/win32/bibtex.exe" %.aux|"C:/texlive/2012/bin/win32/pdflatex.exe" -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Reader 10.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe" %.pdf

error is

"C:/texlive/2012/bin/win32/pdflatex.exe" -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"C:/texlive/2012/bin/win32/bibtex.exe" %.aux|"C:/texlive/2012/bin/win32/pdflatex.exe" -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Reader 10.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe" %.pdf

If I use the bib compiler on "books.bib" I get the error

Code: Select all

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2012/W32TeX) The top-level
auxiliary file: books.aux I found no \citation commands---while reading
file books.aux I found no \bibdata command---while reading file books.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file storage.aux 
(There were 3 error messages)

Can you please extend your code snippets into a complete minimal working example?

I had the same issue and resolved it this way:

1. Configure Texmaker to use the command

Code: Select all

biber %

instead of

Code: Select all

bibtex %

. You can modify this configuration by accessing the texmaker configuration GUI Options->Configure Texmaker

2. In the following line, add the

Code: Select all

backend=biber

option as follows.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[backend=biber,...]{biblatex}

3. Recompile LateX, bibtex files...
