bibtex doesn't work when using subfolder












0















I use texstudio on mac. I changed my configuration so the auxiliary files will be saved in a subfolder. Everything works except bibtex. I get the following message:



Error: Could not start the command: bibtex.exe build/"myfile" -include-directory=build



I copied this line from a previous answer, and tried many other options, but none of them worked.



Attached pictures of my commands and build settings. Thanks!

  • Remove the .exe and try bibtex build/% -include-directory=build. On Mac OS executables usually don't have the .exe file extension. .exe is a Windows thing.

    You will be repeatedly advised by long time epert users this is NOT a good Idea I did show how it MAY work for some cases BUT I strongly advise against it see problems that can arise tex.stackexchange.com/a/472061/170109

    That's the reason why I never use such build folders. You can spent a long time to get all tools working correctly ...

    That said, I think -include-directory might be MikTeX-specific and thefore not available if you are using TeX live or MacTeX (MikTeX only recently made its entry onto Unix OSes). I firmly believe, however, that these 'build' subfolders create more issues than they solve and would recommend against using them.

    ok, I see a consensus here that I should not use the build folder stuff :) Thanks for your feedback everybody!
