[OS X TeX] How make glossary with memoir class built-in facility and package imakeeidx

[Murray Eisenberg]

That platexmkrc worked with the TeXShop pdflatexmk — up to a point: the glossary entry defined on the 2nd page (after the \newpage) never actually appears in the printed glossary. In fact, while the \glossentry for it gets put into the glossary.glo file, the corresponding \glossitem never gets put into the glossary.gls file.

For the record, here’s platexmkrc contents:

add_cus_dep('glo', 'gls', 0, 'makeglo2gls');
		sub makeglo2gls {
				system("makeindex -s basic.gst -t '$_[0]'.glg -o '$_[0]'.gls '$_[0]'.glo");
		};
