Chris Monson's LaTeX Makefile and glossaries.sty

Post by jdege »

I've been using Chris Monson's Makefile (http://www.bouncingchairs.net/oss/latex.html) to run my LaTeX builds, and it worked very well for me, until I started using glossaries.sty.

Glossaries.sty uses a script entitled makeglossaries to build .gls files from the .glo files that the \glossaryentry commands generate, in much the same way that makeindex builds .ind files from .idx files. (In fact, the makeglossaries script calls makeindex passing parameters to use the different extensions.)

My problem is that I've not been able to modify the Makefile to automatically run makeglossaries, the way it runs makeindex. I've tried to use the makeindex rules as a template, but I've not managed to get it to work.

The thing is - both glossaries.sty and Monson's Makefile have been around for a while. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there a known solution?

UPDATED: Nevermind

I had been getting the order of the dependency between .gls and .glo backwards. I now have it working fine.

Hi,

I'm currently facing the same problem. Would you mind sharing the changes you made to the Makefile for glossaries.sty to work?

Thanks!
