I'm trying to use bibtex in Texniccenter, using the Bibtex in 60 seconds found here: http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/u/jenny/jcwdocs/latex/bibtexbasics.html

Step 5 says: When processing the file, you need to do: latex filename, bibtex filename, latex filename, latex filename.

I'm using Texniccenter, but I don't know what this step means or how to perform it. Under the Build>Define output profiles... tab I have "Do not use Bibtex in this profile" box unchecked. Do I need to change other things?

  • That should be sufficient. However, you might need to click on the "Compile" button 2-3 times as each click will only result in latex being called once. – Trefex Apr 28 '14 at 06:24
  • You also have the alternative to build just the BibTeX part in Build--->BibTeX. Naturally, as Trefex said, you need to check the Uses BibTeX option in your project properties. – Mario S. E. Apr 28 '14 at 07:03

If you have an installed version of Perl or can install it (e.g. from http://www.activestate.com/perl/) then you can use the program latexmk.exe, which comes with any TeX distribution. Create a new output format by copying the "LaTeX->PDF" one:

  • rename it to "LaTeXmk"
  • replace "pdflatex.exe" with "latexmk.exe"
  • insert -pdf "%wm" as optional arguments.

The Perl script latexmk controlls the number of runnings and the use of bibtex/biber and/or makeindex.

The screenshot shows the window with german text but it is selfexplanatory
