MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ No Output of Nomenclature

[moh-thabit]

Dear all,

I*m working on write my master thesis. I'm writing using the university format but I have faced a problem in writing the abbreviations using nomencl package. I'm working on Windows Vista with TeXnicCenter (TXC) editor.

I*m calling all chapters of thesis from one file with \include command. I am focused here on the use of abbreviations. The main file is this.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[ms,12pt]{thesis_format}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The following file defines margins and text width

\include{def}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The following file defines the settings for including List of Abbreviations

\include{set_loa}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The following file defines the inclusion of packages and some other required commands

\include{setting}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\begin{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The following file defines the title, author, advisers etc.

\include{title}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The following file creates 2 blank pages

\include{blanks}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The following file defines the dedication page

\include{dedication}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The following file defines the acknowledgments

\include{ack}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\begin{preamble}

% The following file defines the list of abbreviations

\include{loa}

% The following file defines the Thesis abstract

\include{abstract}

\end{preamble}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The following file defines the contents of Chapter One of the Thesis

\include{ch01}


\end{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The sperate file "set_loa" is:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{nomencl}
%
\makenomenclature
%
\renewcommand{\nomname}{List of abbreviations}

and the "loa" file is"

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\, \, \, LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS}{\pageref{loa}}
%
\label{LOA}
\nomenclature{LED}{Light Emitting Diode}
\nomenclature{MOS}{Metal Oxide Semiconductor}
\nomenclature{PC}{Personal Computer}
%
\printnomenclature [2.5 cm]

The output is appear as a question marks only no abbreviations? I spend one day looking to solve this by change the output profile of TXC with changing the MakeIndex executable and arguments but with no solution!

Your help is highly appreciated

Sigh! I'm really tired of asking for a minimal example and an adequate problem description.

All right, I don't know how can make it simple but I'll try:

I have a problem with nomencl package in my thesis. I will simplify this to the this example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nomencl}
\makenomenclature
\renewcommand{\nomname}{List of abbreviations}

\begin{document}

\nomenclature{Ln}{Light Emitting Diode}
\nomenclature{MOS}{Metal Oxide Semiconductor}
\nomenclature{PC}{Personal Computer}
\printnomenclature [2.5 cm]

\end{document}

In this example there is neither errors nor outputs. I heard the problem in compiling is it true and how can solve with TexnicCenter ?

Thank you,

[localghost]

And you did already run MakeIndex as explained in Section 2 of the nomencl manual? You may incorporate this step into the post-processing section of the concerned build profile in TXC instead of modifying the settings for MakeIndex.
