[Scons-users] [scons-users] SCons does not work properly with biblatex

[Managan, Rob]

Olivier,

Thanks for the example.
First of all. I don't have an up to date version of biblatex (v 0.9a
2010/03/19) so I had to change the file
Sconstest.tex to be

%\addbibresource{ref.bib}
\bibliography{ref}


to get the first pass to work. When I then go and edit ref.bib and run
scons again it properly updates the pdf to include the changes in ref.bib.

I had to remove the .bib on the /bibliography statement since bibtex was
trying to use ref.bib.bib. I assume this was not the case with your
original problem.

E.g. My first run output contained this when I used \bibliography{ref.bib}
cd . && bibtex sconstest
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2010)
The top-level auxiliary file: sconstest.aux
The style file: biblatex.bst
I couldn't open database file ref.bib.bib
---line 3 of file sconstest.aux
 : \bibdata{sconstest-blx,ref.bib
 :                               }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command



So let me know if using the deprecated \bibliography command helps with
your setup. If not then I may have to work on installing the latest
version of biblatex.
