Please, read the question before marking it as duplicate.
Since June 2015, xindy
is finally included in the MiKTeX distribution for Windows. Unfortunately, this does not mean that you can use xindy
out of the box. At least on my system, I still get the error message:
xindy: The Perl interpreter could not be found
So, hopefully, the only missing thing is a Perl interpreter to run xindy
. I searched the MiKTeX documentation and also the Web, but I did not found an answer to my question, which Perl interpreter to install for Windows. There are three different interpreters to choose from at https://www.perl.org/get.html
Could somebody, please, give a new answer to that question instead of just linking to How to use Xindy with MiKTeX? which is usally done. This link does not answer my question.
To nail done my prerequisites:
I don't care about doing anything (else) with Perl. I just want
xindy
to work.I would prefer a Perl distribution which is easy to install (if there is a difference between the distributions).
If installing Perl distribution XY is not enough to get xindy
work, it would be nice to know.
xindy
/MiKTeX.xindy
talks to me :-) Would you like to convert your comment into an answer?
