I am following this guide to create an engine-file for TexShop to facilitate the use of the nomenclature package. However, after invoking the engine, it does not happen anything at all - I get no error messages, nor is a file created.
I am using TexShop 3.06 under MacOS Lion and already tried to rule out obvious mistakes (like forgotten return keys etc.). Even if I place echo-commands in the engine file, I get no output.
Are there any ideas on how to obtain a working menu entry?
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines
, and restart TeXShop? Also would be helpful to see the contents of this engine file? – Peter Grill May 7 '12 at 15:23chmod +x ~/Library/TeXshop/Englines/myengine.engine
(wheremyengine.engine
is whatever you named your engine file.) – Alan Munn May 7 '12 at 16:50#!/bin/bash
set path= ($path /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
bfname=$(dirname "$1")/"
basename "$1" .tex"
makeindex "$bfname".nlo -s nomencl.ist -o "$bfname".nls
. I also experimented with giving the path to makeindex directly, but neither the content from the original post or any changes worked. – noumea May 11 '12 at 9:44
