General ⇒ BiBTex and TeXnicCenter

[par]

I am using a .bib file to store my set of references and am using BiBTeX. As you might know, with BiBTeX, we need to first run LaTeX, run BiBTeX, and then run LaTeX twice in order to get cross-references right. Is there a way of automatically doing all this by a single click (something like a macro) to make the process easy?

I just moved to TeXnicCenter from using LaTeX in UNIX; in the UNIX platform, I was able to do this using the makefile option. That was great! Is there an equivalent in TeXnicCenter?

In the build menu, and under build profiles, if you select the build you are using (LaTeX => PDF, or other), the compiler tab has a tick box for BibTeX and MakeIndex. Just tick run BibTeX.

Another alternative (if you are using MiKTeX) is in the same processor menu, instead of compiling with latex.exe, choose texify.exe (which is also in the bin folder of MiKTeX). TeXify will run LaTeX and BibTeX.

Thanks! The second idea worked! Actually, I used the "texify => pdf" profile option given here:
