I am trying to get the glossaries package to work. I have created a minimal .tex file to test it.
I am using TeXworks. My .tex file currently looks like this:
\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb,amscd}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\newglossaryentry{test}{
name=Test,
description={is a test}
}
\makeglossaries
\begin{document}
This is a \gls{test}.
\printglossaries
\end{document}
The compiled pdf has the sentence "This is a Test", but there is no glossary list. I am currently compiling under the option "pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTeX".
I have tried compiling just under MakeIndex by itself and then compiling the pdf again, but there is still no list.
I have tried adding a "makeglossaries" option to the list of compiling options according to the following directions I found:
"You go to TeXWorks > Preferences > Typesetting, and add a processing tool. Name it "makeglossaries" (or whatever you'd like, really), enter the program "makeglossaries" (which should be already installed somewhere---don't worry about the full pathname), and add a single argument: "$basename" so that your main filename will be passed to the makeglossaries process."
But when I compile under the new "makeglossaries" option I get the following error:
makeglossaries.exe: The Perl interpreter could not be found.
After searching for info on this error I downloaded ActivePerl, following the link from this Stack Exchange question: Perl Interpreter could not be found. But I still get the error when compiling under the "makeglossaries" option.
Can anyone help me figure out how to get the glossary list to appear in the compiled pdf?
perl.exeon your operating system's path? To test it, open the command prompt and runperl --version. – Nicola Talbot Jan 28 '14 at 21:23This is perl 5, version 16, subversion...., along with some copyright information. – Gabe Conant Jan 28 '14 at 21:28arara. – Speravir Jan 28 '14 at 23:58makeglossariesrun okay from the command prompt? Perhaps you need to specify the full path tomakeglossaries.exein theMakeGlossariespreferences. – Nicola Talbot Jan 31 '14 at 09:29
