BibTex not working with TexMaker

Question

I'm using TexMaker, but it doesn't read my .bib file.

Here is a sample .tex file:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

Hello. \cite{nobody99}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{sources}

\end{document}

And here is my sources.bib file:

@article{nobody99,
author = {nobody},
title = {ciao},
year = {1999}
}

I'm using this compilation sequence : PdfLaTex + Bib(la)tex + PdfLaTex (x2) + ViewPDF

I have tried in many ways to make it work, but it doesn't. The log file appears like this:

What am i doing wrong? Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

Solved the problem: I had the option for using a "build" subdirectory for output files active. Once switched it off, the compilation went smoothly and the references were there.
