Howdy,

It depends...

If you are only using the basic properties of the glossaries package take a look at ~/Library/TeXShop/bin/latexmkrcedit and you'll see an entry for acronyms using the glossaries package that looks like

add_cus_dep('acn', 'acr', 0, 'makeacn2acr');
	sub makeacn2acr 
	{system("makeindex -s '$_[0]'.ist -t '$_[0]'.alg -o '$_[0]'.acr '$_[0]'.acn");
	}

additional glossaries can be set up like that. If they need special .ist files you'll make separate `sub' files with the ist name set. Note: typesetting the document produces the .acn file and makeindex processes it to produce the .acr file which is then read in when typesetting again. Make sure you get the order right! If the `sub makeacn2acr' does the job you need then you need only duplicate the add_cus_dep line and substitute the extensions you are using leaving the sub call the same.

If you intend to use some of that fancy things that the glossaries package can do (that may need processing by xindy, etc.) you may want to go to my download site, <https://herbs.github.io>, and download `TeXShop latexmk and advanced glossaries package use.zip>. It contains the files that need to be changed as well as instructions for making the change, etc.

Good Luck,
