The latexmk perl program, rewritten and presently maintained by John Collins, automates this multi-pass process. By default it first runs (pdf/xe)latex on a source file, determines file dependencies by examining the .aux and .log files produced by the run and then automatically runs bibtex and/or makeindex, if needed, and the correct number of additional runs of (pdf/xe)latex to generate the bibliography, index and cross-references. This latest version of latexmk also works correctly with the nomencl package as well as the glossary and glossaries packages and other packages that produce multiple bibliographies or indexes.

I added the fdb-latexmk extension along with others to my TeXShop a long time ago (using the Terminal command I gave above) so everything just worked on my end. I was also removing the bbl file so I'd get a complete re-compile. I've now tested by going back to TeXShop's defaults and only adding the fdb_latexmk extension to the File->Trash Aux Files and it does just the right things to completely regenerate the document.

Howdy,

Sigh... that should be fdb_latexmk NOT fdb-latexmk in the first line above. The later reference is correct.

Good Luck,
