I am trying to use the glossaries-extra package with an .bib file which contains all my abbreviations, glossary entries, and symbols.

There is the bib2gls package/tool out there, but, unfortunately, I am unable to use the bib2gls on my mac with TeX Live 2017 and Java 8 update 144.

Can anyone help my how to run bib2gls on my mac?

I used the example from here: bib2gls example

The entries.bib file is like in the bib2gls manual:

@entry{duck,
name = {duck},
description = {a waterbird with webbed feet}}

@entry{parrot,
name = {parrot},
description = {mainly tropical bird with bright plumage}}

A working example with the filename myDoc.tex:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[record]{glossaries-extra}

\GlsXtrLoadResources[src={entries}]

\begin{document}

A \gls{duck} and a \gls{parrot}. Lots of \glspl{duck}.

\printunsrtglossaries

\end{document}

The build process according bib2gls manual is now:

pdflatex myDoc
bib2gls myDoc
pdflatex myDoc

But I don't know how to run bib2gls myDoc.

Best regards

Markus

  • bib2gls is a command line tool. If you build your documents by clicking on a button/menu item you need to say what editor you're using (for example, TeXworks, TeXstudio). – Nicola Talbot Oct 03 '17 at 20:59
