rubber does not process .nlo files generated by nomencl

[Paul Natsuo Kishimoto]

Binary package hint: rubber

I am using the Gedit LaTeX plugin (http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/LaTeXPlugin) to compile a document using the "nomencl" package provided by texlive-latex-extra. The default plugin command for producing a PDF is:

rubber -f -s --inplace -d "%f"

where %f is the full name of the .tex file being compiled. No nomenclature appears in the document unless type the following in a terminal:

makeindex mydocument.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o mydocument.nls

... and then re-run rubber from the plugin. Although the plugin has a facility for running multiple commands, it would be nice (wishlist!) if this was handled automatically by rubber.

I have the same problem using rubber without any plugin. But, it should be an easy task for a programmer who is familiar to python. There are already extensions (so called "modules") for some packages.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

[phil (philippwnrt)]

Yes it is. Rubber doesn't still recognize the nomencl-package. The Nomenclature is still absent if you proceed like the first comment describes.

Since this report have a long time without activity, could you check (if is possible) in latest Ubuntu Karmic version if this issue is still happening? Thanks in advance.

[Paul Natsuo Kishimoto (khaeru)]

Check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rubber. The package version hasn't changed since intrepid.

[Emmanuel Beffara (manu-beffara)]

The main development branch, recently imported to Launchpad, contains basic support for the nomencl package. Could you check if that addresses the issue?

[Sebastian Kapfer (caci)]

We have a fix in rubber/trunk which will release with 1.3. Please test and report any problems!
