I have ref.bib and want to cite some papers at the end of the slides. So far I know I should use \footfullcite{key} with \usepackage{biblatex} and the references would be shown at the end of the slide. However, doing pdflatex bibtex pdflatex in my texMaker. Specifically, when running bibtex will give the following :

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2016) The top-level auxiliary file: mwe.aux I found no \citation commands---while reading file mwe.aux I found no \bibdata command---while reading file mwe.aux I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file mwe.aux (There were 3 error messages)

adding [backend=bibtex8] will work although it gives warning 'functionality may be reduced'

My question is how to place citations bottom of the slide with biblatex without resorting to biber in texmaker

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex8]{biblatex}
\nocite{*}
\bibliography{ref}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Hello. \footfullcite{key}.
\end{frame}
\end{document}

    biblatex uses the Biber back-end as standard: if you don't give an option, it will write no data for BibTeX to the .aux file. – Joseph Wright Jun 30 '16 at 05:57

    Either you use BibTeX (or BibTeX8) and give the backend=bibtex (or bibtex8) option in which case you will have to live with reduced functionality. Or you use Biber (in that case you can add the option backend=biber or leave the option out altogether, Biber is the default) and get the full set of features. See Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations for help with Biber in your editor. – moewe Jun 30 '16 at 06:01
  • @moewe Thank you. The linked question solved my issue. Many much million and billion thanks. I am voting to close the question because it is actually asking how to link biber instead of bibtex. – seteropere Jun 30 '16 at 07:24
