I am currently finalizing my thesis and I am know trying to create a separate file in which I store all the glossary entries. I found exactly the same question here but it does not seem to work. I am new to StackExchange and therefore do not feature enough reputation to comment. So thats why I am asking again. 

\documentclass{article} 

\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\loadglsentries{begrippen.tex}
\begin{document}

% First part of thesis

\section{example}
Here is an example provided by another stackexchange question, 
\gls{foobar} is a strange animal

\gls{foo} is another strange animal


% Bibliography
\newpage
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{refference}

% Glossary
\newpage
\glsaddall
\printglossaries

\end{document}

And the other file with the entries: (saved as "begrippen.tex)

\newglossaryentry{foobar}{%
  name={Foobar},
  description={A strange animal, not to be confused with \gls{foo}}
}

\newglossaryentry{foo}{%
  name={Foo},
  description={A strange animal, not to be confused with \gls{foobar}}
}

When I run the thesis The gls{foo} and gls{foobar} are both shown in the text, but there is no sign of the printed glossary.

Does anyone have any suggetions?

Thanks!

  • Did you run makeglossaries on your document? You probably need a compilation cycle LaTeX, makeglossaries, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX for the full document (here "LaTeX" can be your favourite flavour of LaTeX: pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX). If you are using an editor, you hopefully have a button somewhere for makeglossaries. – moewe May 24 '20 at 12:13
  • I am using TexMaker. Could you tell me how to run makeglossaries? – J.O.P.P. May 24 '20 at 12:19

    Does https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/61099/35864 help? (Especially the second answer is interesting: with \usepackage[automake]{glossaries} you don't need to run makeglossaries yourself. glossaries does that for you. Of course that may result in an excessive number of makeglossaries runs. So if you are worried about performance, better call makeglossaries manually only when required.) – moewe May 24 '20 at 12:20
  • Thanks! It works perfectly! I will add a answer! – J.O.P.P. May 24 '20 at 12:31
  • But isn't your question basically a duplicate of https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/61099/35864? – moewe May 24 '20 at 12:33

Thanks to @moewe who pointed me in the right direction I solved the problem.

The problem is that glossaries have to be called for. This can be done as descriped in the question. Just as this question and @moewe suggested it is probably more easy to add a simple specification in the \usepackage{} command.

Thus, replace \usepackage{glossaries} with \usepackage[automake]{glossaries} to solve the problem.
