Kile ⇒ Kile project: bibtex does not run on all files.

[ha_entry]

hi all,

i have a kile project file, where the main .tex file includes 2-3 others (as chapters). i'm using the chapterbib package with the intention of having a bibliography section after each chapter, rather than at the end of the report/book.

my problem is that quickbuild does not run bibtex on all the files of the project, but only on the main/master file.

does anyone know how to configure kile to do what i need

[additional remark: running at the console

• latex main
  bibtex chapter1
  bibtex chapter2
  latex main
  latex main

does what i want]

my main/master file looks like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage{manymanypackages}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\usepackage{chapterbib}
\begin{document}

\include{chapter1}
\include{chapter2}

\end{document}

my included files chapter1.tex and chapter2.tex look like:

Code: Select all

\chapter{Chapter Title}
... content ...
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{mybib}

I am having a similar problem. I managed to get this working for one chapter by reconfiguring the Kile build settings (Configure Kile - Tools - Build). More specifically, I created a new Configuration for the Bibtex tool called chap1. For this configuration, I changed the tools option from the default '%S', to chapter1, where chapter1.tex is the tex file included in the main.tex document. I then add a new Quickbuild configuration of Latex - Bibtex(chap1) - Latex - Latex.

This works file, but often I have to run Quick build twice each time I need to rebuild. I would like to make this so that I only have to press Quick build once. I then have another problem in that I tried to include a second chapter but then the Quick build process loops infinitely on the third latex pass. I did occasionally get this looping problem with a single chapter but cant remember what conditions led to this.

Some code:
Main File

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\include{testchap1}
% \input{testchap1.bbl}
\include{testchap2}
% \input{testchap2.bbl}
\backmatter
\chapter{Bibliography}
\bibliography{/home/yassie/Documents/KileProjects/Dissertation/AllThesis.bib}
\end{document}

chap1.tex

Code: Select all

\chapter[Australian ERIS]{An Australian \protect{\ac{ERIS}}}
\newpage
\bibliographystyle{apalike}                  % *.bst files
\bibliography{/home/yassie/Documents/KileProjects/Dissertation/AllThesis.bib}       % *.bib Files

A trick already explained in some other threads allows to launch BibTeX from the own tex file. Before \documentclass write a single line:

Code: Select all

\immediate\write18{bibtex chapter1} \immediate\write18{bibtex chapter2}

If you have \write18 enabled, TeX will launch BibTeX to process chapter1.aux and then chapter2.aux. If, in a certain LaTeX run, you don't want to do it, just comment out that line.

Search this forum for more info about \write18.
