I am using an finished template at my school for writing my thesis in LaTeX. I am using TeXShop. My problem is that I can't get the symbol list to appear. It is no problem to get my abbreviations to appear. In the abbreviations I am using e.g. 

\newacronym{ARMA}{ARMA}{auto regressive moving average}

For my symbol list I am using e.g 

\newglossaryentry{symb:N}{sort={3},
name={$\mathbb N$},
first={first $\mathbb N$},
text={additional $\mathbb N$},
description={Set of natural numbers},
type=symbolslist}

In my main file I am typing:

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,style=long ,title=Abbreviations, toctitle=Abbreviations]
\printglossary[type=symbolslist,style=long ,title=Symbols]

Settings:

\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage[nonumberlist,toc,acronym]{glossaries}
\newglossary[slg]{symbolslist}{syi}{syg}{Symbols}
\makeglossaries
\include{Abbr} % all abbreviations
\include{Symbols} % all symbols

I am compiling it with: latex – pdflatexmk – latex

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. – Heiko Oberdiek Jun 08 '14 at 11:32
  • You need to run makeglossaries as well as pdflatex to make the lists appear. I'm a little confused by your compilation list. Why are you using both latex and pdflatexmk? By the way, use \input instead of \include to input the files containing the definitions, see Why shouldn't I use \include to include my glossary definitions?. – Nicola Talbot Jun 08 '14 at 11:56
  • Thanks for reply! But I don't have any "make glossaries" in my "compiling list"? There are for example Bibtex, Latex, PdflatexMK and so on, should makeglossaries also be there? – Anton Jun 08 '14 at 13:09

    You can get pdflatexmk to do this for you. Have a look at How to make Latexmk use makeglossaries? – Nicola Talbot Jun 08 '14 at 13:44
  • There may be a makeglossaries engine in TeXShop's directory in your home Library directory e.g. under /Users/YourUserName/Library/TeXShop/engines/disabled. Note that that path will not be quite correct as I have not used a Mac for a while and can't remember the details. disabled, for example, might be inactive or similar. There are instructions there for activating the engines. Or you can read TeXShop's help. – cfr Jun 08 '14 at 13:48
  • Thanks Nicola, did got it working now! Though it some times complain when I am using a \gls command in a equation, do you know something about that? E.g. \begin{equation} (1-\sum_{j=1}^{p} \phi_j B^j \gls{symb:backshift})(1-B)^d(D_t-\mu)=(1-\sum_{j=1}^{q} \theta_j B^j) \end{equation} – Anton Jun 08 '14 at 15:44
  • You'll need to create a new question for that with a minimal working example (MWE). – Nicola Talbot Jun 08 '14 at 17:32

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the principal issue could be settled by comments (especially N. Talbot's explanations about makeglossaries –  Dec 30 '15 at 20:30
  • @ChristianHupfer If it can be settled at all, it should be settled in an answer. Voting to keep open. – Sean Allred Dec 30 '15 at 20:56
  • @SeanAllred: Well, Nicola should answer it then. I usually don't take over comments by other users and squeeze an answer out of it. (Although I would have suggested the same procedure, however) –  Dec 30 '15 at 20:59
  • @NicolaTalbot, please consider writing an answer :-) – Sean Allred Dec 30 '15 at 20:59
  • @SeanAllred It seems from the comments that this is just a dup of http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1226/how-to-make-latexmk-use-makeglossaries Perhaps closing it as a duplicate would be more appropriate. – Nicola Talbot Jan 11 '16 at 12:19
  • @NicolaTalbot Agreed. Voting to close :-) – Sean Allred Jan 11 '16 at 16:10
