MakeIndex, Nomenclature, Glossaries and Acronyms ⇒ Makeindex arguments

[wooosh]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with configuring makeindex in TeXnicCenter to work with custom input and output directories.
My project's directory structure looks like this:
./
./build/ %temporary files
./sources/ %source files
./output/ %resulting pdf

I have learned that the latest makeindex does not allow absolute paths as arguments. But all attempts that don't use absolute paths don't work:
1.)
"..\build\%tm".nlo -s nomencl.ist -o "..\build\%tm".nls
Gives me: Can't create output index file ..\build\template.nls

2.)
"%w\..\build\%tm".nlo -s nomencl.ist -o "%w\..\build\%tm".nls
Does not replace the %w with the current working directory

It does work, if I copy template.lno to my \sources dir and change the arguments to
"%tm".nlo -s nomencl.ist -o "%tm".nls

Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps you need to use slashes (/) instead of backslashes (\) in the path specification (even on Wind0ws).


Best regards and welcome to the board

Nope, doesn't change anything.

Any more hints?

Solution:
I called makeindex from my /sources subdirectory. If I call it from my project's root folder everything works just fine.
