I cannot manage to print bibliography with Biblatex, and \cite{XXX} just provides XXX in text.

Here a MWE:

\documentclass{memoir}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[style=ieee,backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}

\begin{document}

\chapter{blablabla}
\lipsum[1-2] \cite{Campbell2004}

\end{document}

Bibliography.bib:

@book{Morgan2005,
author = {Morgan, Peter},
isbn = {978-0-8247-0983-9},
issn = {0-8247-0983-7},
publisher = {Taylor {\&} Francis Group, LLC},
title = {{Carbon fibers and their composites}},
year = {2005}
}

I'm using MiKTeX portable 2.9, Texmaker 4.5. Already tried:

  • Using biber and bibtex as backend;
  • Cleaning temp files;
  • Already running pdflatex -> Bib(la)tex -> pdflatex (x2);
  • bibliography.bib is already a part of the structure and provides quick link.

Output: enter image description here

    Nowadays it is preferable to use Biber, you will have to tell your editor about it, though Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations. The error message from BibTeX suggests you use a 'build' folder. I suggest you don't do that, then things should work without further modifications. – moewe May 05 '17 at 08:56
  • Looks as if you changed the build process and tried to move files to some output folder build but didn't do it correctly. – Ulrike Fischer May 05 '17 at 08:56
  • @UlrikeFischer, I already corrected that error. Still get the same result.. – This Guy May 05 '17 at 08:57
  • If you must have a build folder, have a look at https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/184204/35864 – moewe May 05 '17 at 08:57
  • You can try to compile the MWEB here: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4408/124842 – Bobyandbob May 05 '17 at 08:57
  • Then you didn't corrected it correctly ... If bibtex is looking in the wrong folder for the aux-file then this is caused by a configuration error in your editor. As a check try to compile your document e.g. with texworks or on a command line. – Ulrike Fischer May 05 '17 at 09:00

    @UlrikeFischer No, the error isn't there anymore, the aux one. I had build subdirectory on, but when I removed it, that particular error was gone. – This Guy May 05 '17 at 09:03
  • @Bobyandbob, just tried to compile the MEWB in that link and didn't worked. Undefined citation, in spite of the .bib file being on the structure.

    In fact, while the option of build directory is off, I tried a new file in other directory and it still says that I don't have a file on build directory.

After all @UlrikeFischer was right.

Texmaker still was trying to find the aux file in the directory /build, even with that option disabled. Had to manually delete that in Options.

Thank you very much!
