bibtex support when using Xetex

Post by furykerry »

setup lyx(1.6.5) to use xetex ( following advice from http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX) , xetex works well but the output pdf doesn't contain my references.

Without lyx, I can get the reference working by issuing xelatex,bibtex,xelatex commands in succession

I suppose lyx is hard coded to call bibtex , but it seems that it is not the case when using xetex. The Lyx "Latex log" had the entries "Package natbib Warning: There were undefined citations." , same as when you only issue the first xelatex commands(without following bibtex)

anyone had similar experience or solution to this ?

thanks

I figure out the problem: I forget to install a customized natbib bst file, so when lyx calls bibtex, bibtex fails. I fails to spot the problem , because in the Document->Latex log contains no bibtex logs.

Right now Xetex support bibtex well
