Hi all,
I use the default latex exporter in org-mode v7.8 to write documents using
a custom latex class which is built on "article".
I would like to use the "nomencl" latex package if possible.
I have a latex src block before the first exported headline that looks like
#+begin_latex
lots of stuff
.
.
.
\makenomenclature
\printnomenclature
#+end_latex
and then I have additional src blocks that looks like
#+begin_latex
\nomenclature[c]{$\bm{q}^e$}{loads in all nodes belonging to element
$e$\nomunit{[N]}}%
#+end_latex
throughout my document.
Is this a viable approach? And how can I execute the "makeindex" program to
actually generate the
nomenlature list? My route to pdf looks like
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
'("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode %b"
"bibtex %b"
"pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode %b"
"pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode %b"))
From the shell I usually run something like
makeindex filename.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o filename.nls
followed by latex or pdflatex, but how can I get the exporter to do this?

I don't know the answer to your question, but when I came across the
same problem, I used a makefile-like solution because I felt that the
building process was becoming sufficiently complicated to warrant using
a specialised tool. If you are comfortable with CMake already it may be
worth a look. Have a look for "UseLatex.cmake".
Basically you get emacs to export the .tex file from the .org file:
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mypaper.tex
COMMAND emacs --batch
--visit=${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mypaper.org
--load=/home/me/myfuncs.el
--funcall org-export-as-latex-batch
DEPENDS orgfile
COMMENT "Exporting orgmode file to LaTeX using emacs"
)
And then bibtex and nomenclature are asked to do their stuff, and a pdf
is produced, with something like this directive:
add_latex_document( mypaper.tex
INPUTS tex/bibliography.tex
texlib/mystyle.sty
BIBFILES texlib/mylibrary.bib
DEFAULT_PDF
USE_NOMENCL
)
I also get it to generate all my R plots. Other advantages are that you
get an out-of-source build that is isolated (to some extent) in its own
directory. And I think it is easier to diagnose the problems when
things go wrong, better than staring at an elisp backtrace. Now if org
would write my CMakeList.txt for me, that would be a fine thing.

Thank you Myles,
I'm not that comfortable with cmake but I will give your solution a try and report My milage.

Customize the variable org-latex-to-pdf-process appropriately.

Thanks,
can you give some hints on how to customize it, or point me to some
information?

Hello Johan,

To have makeindex run, try evaluating the following elisp:
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
'("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode %b"
"bibtex %b"
"makeindex %b.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o %b.nls"
"pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode %b"
"pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode %b"))
Alternatively, you can customize the variable org-latex-to-pdf-process
as Nick suggests, to accomplish the same thing. Use the following
command:
M-x customize-variable org-latex-to-pdf-process
More documentation is available through customize, and there is lots
of great information available here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html
Hope this helps,
Andrew

C-h v org-latex-to-pdf-process should tell you everything you need: it's just a list
of shell commands and they are executed in sequence. All you have to do is interpolate
the makeindex command in there with the appropriate escapes.
