I'm using latexmk to create my LaTeX documents, calling it from Aquamacs. My LatexMk file (also known as a latexmkrc file) contains the only following:

$do_cd = '0';
$quote_filenames = '0';
$makeindex = 'makeindex -s basic.gst -o glossary.gls glossary.glo';
$pdflatex = 'pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %O %S';
$pdf_previewer = 'open -a skim';
$view = 'pdf';

Everything works as desired, except that no glossary.gls file is created on a latexmk run. Nor, therefore, is an index added to the document. A MWE below:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside,book,dutch]{memoir}
\makeglossary[glossary]
\begin{document}
\glossary[glossary]{test}{test}
\printglossary[glossary]
\end{document}

  • First of all, the title here is incorrect, this is not an index, but a glossary. Secondly nothing to do with the memoir class. Latexmk never fires any makeindex instructions, probably since no .idx file is detected. You probably need a custom dependency to make latexmk react to glossary files. – daleif Aug 18 '17 at 16:52

  • Spot on regarding the title and the suggested solution @daleif. I do however think that the memoir class was relevant to my problem, because the glossary functionality is provided by it. – Bart van Beek Aug 20 '17 at 13:17
  • I think you'll get the same issues with the glossary package. The good thing about that package is that it uses a separate script so you can have both a glossary and an index. The manner you were doing it excluded the index possibility via latexmk – daleif Aug 20 '17 at 13:20
