I recently moved from Notepad++ to Sublime Text for creating documents with LaTeX. I use LaTeXTools. However, I am unable to run the makeindex command with the associated parameters (makeindex %.idx %.glo -t %.glg -s %.ist -o %.gls %.acn) to produce glossaries (Glossaries, Acronyms, Symbols, etc). The documentation of LaTeXTools says that a custom builder has to be written to achieve this. I have read the documentation over and over but to be honest, I don't know how to go about this! I'm okay with the traditional builder using texify ... this correctly created the bibliography but unfortunately not the glossaries! Could someone be of help in pointing out how to go about writing a custom builder to enable me create the glossaries along side the bibliography?

PS: I can well produce the glossaries with Notepad++ ... this I want also to achieve with Sublime Text (3)

  • Are you using Sublime Text 2 or 3? Why don't you try with a text editor dedicated such as TeXstudio? – Aradnix Nov 19 '14 at 16:10

    That is where arara comes in handy! –  Nov 19 '14 at 23:48
  • @Aradnix I'm using Sublime Text 3. I use Sublime Text as a general IDE for most for my work now and I'd be happy not to be switching between editors! – Dorogz Nov 20 '14 at 04:39
  • @HarishKumar What about arara? – Dorogz Nov 20 '14 at 04:41

  • @Dorogz I use in that way Sublime Text also, but the version 2.02 nor 3. – Aradnix Nov 20 '14 at 23:56
  • @Aradnix could you please share how you combined Sublime Text with arara. – Dorogz Nov 21 '14 at 21:44
  • @HarishKumar Thank you very much for the information and the link. I am however, yet to figure out how to use arara with sublime text. – Dorogz Nov 21 '14 at 21:46
  • Please read the readme of LaTeXTools, particularly the build section. If you could do it, please post an answer. –  Nov 21 '14 at 23:28
  • @Aradnix An answer please. –  Nov 21 '14 at 23:29
  • @HarishKumar What answer? – Aradnix Nov 22 '14 at 01:51
  • @Aradnix How you used sublime, may be with arara? –  Nov 22 '14 at 02:04
  • @HarishKumar I use Sublime Text for very simple tasks, in fact when I receive texts made with Word and for codification issues pandoc is unable to convert it. Sublime Text 2 highlights quotation marks in colour and is very useful for change them, also with multiple cursors and regex is very fast make corrections. I read only few about Arara, I haven't try it yet so I don't know how to use them together. – Aradnix Nov 24 '14 at 02:34

It's quite a while since this question was asked. But since I also struggled with LaTeXTools under Sublime Text 3 and TeXLive2018 (MacOS Mojave 10.14.5) I thought I'd share my working solution.

In my case, the glossaries package option automake solved the problem, described on page 19 in the Glossaries Beginners' Guide.

So try

\usepackage[<your options>,automake]{glossaries}

Btw: I also (unsuccessfully) tried to understand how to create a custom build file for LaTeXTools. There still seems to be no proper documentation.

I just struggled with more or less the same issue, except the automake option does not work properly, because I use an aux folder for all build files. If you want to run makeindex directly from ST3 with LaTexTools to compile the glossaries, just add the following line to the very beginning of your .tex file, before \documentclass: 

\immediate\write18{makeindex \jobname.idx \jobname.glo -t \jobname.glg -s \jobname.ist -o \jobname.gls}

And if you use an aux folder called 'aux-files' it should look like this:

\immediate\write18{makeindex aux-files/\jobname.idx aux-files/\jobname.glo -t aux-files/\jobname.glg -s aux-files/\jobname.ist -o aux-files/\jobname.gls}
