I'm using the glossaries package to define a list of acronyms, and I cannot get the .idx and .ind files to write themselves. This is my MWE:

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{book}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra,xunicode}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[nonumberlist,acronym]{glossaries}
\newacronym{np}{\textsc{np}}{nom propre}
\makeglossaries
\makeindex

\begin{document}
\printglossary[title=Abréviations dans les gloses morphosyntaxiques,type=acronym,nopostdot]

Il s'agit d'un \acrshort{np}.

\tableofcontents
\end{document}

And here is what I get on the console log when, after compiling to pdf a first time, I run MakeIndex:

This is makeindex, version 2.15 [TeX Live 2016] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning input file myDoc.idx...done (0 entries accepted, 0 rejected).
Nothing written in myDoc.ind.
Transcript written in myDoc.ilg.

That means that when compiling a second time, the glossary won't print. I tried using \makenoidxglossaries and \printnoidxglossary, but this brings another problem (not on this MWE) that I'll address another time.

    You haven't used \index anywhere in the document so the .idx file is empty, which means there's no index (but you also haven't used \printindex either). The glossary files have different extensions and you need to call makeindex with those extensions. If you have Perl installed run makeglossaries myDoc otherwise run makeglossaries-lite myDoc. – Nicola Talbot Jun 16 '17 at 14:48
