[Scons-users] Problem with LaTeX and \makeglossaries

[Managan, Rob]

Christian,

I don't recall the option to have symbols in glossaries back when we added support for that package so I am not surprised there is a problem.

I think I need an example though. I tried modifying our test document to include a symbol:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}

\newglossaryentry{nix}{
  name={Nix},
  description={Version 5}
}

\newacronym{gnu}{GNU}{GNU's Not UNIX}
\newglossaryentry{pi}
{
  name={\ensuremath{\pi}},
  description={ratio of circumference of circle to its
               diameter},
  sort=pi
}

\makeglossaries


\begin{document}

Acronyms \gls{gnu} and glossary entries \gls{nix}.

Here is a symbol \gls{pi}.

\printglossary[type=acronym]
\printglossary[type=main]

\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

And with this I don't get a .symi file being written.

Can you modify this example to show the problem? Thanks.

Subject: [Scons-users] Problem with LaTeX and \makeglossaries

Hi,

I'm using the glossaries package for LaTeX.
With its help I'm generating a list of symbols, among others.

The makeglossaries command generates a .symi file which is later processed by pdflatex. However, although scons should support \makeglossaries, I get the following error in the log file:
"No file thesis.symi."
while acronyms are generated:

Package glossaries Info: Writing glossary file thesis.glo on input line 25.

\glo at acronym@file=\write5
\openout5 = `diss_brehm.acn'.

Package glossaries Info: Writing glossary file thesis.acn on input line 25.

\glo at symbol@file=\write6
\openout6 = `diss_brehm.symo'.

Package glossaries Info: Writing glossary file thesis.symo on input line 25

Can anyone help me or point me to sth. that could help. I'm rather new to scons and I have no idea how to debug it...


Thanks,
Christian
