Hi,

Z:\>makeglossaries LiteratureReview
defined(%hash) is deprecated at C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\scripts
\glossaries\makeglossaries line 227.
        (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
added glossary type 'main' (glg,gls,glo)
Warning: File 'LiteratureReview.glo' is empty.
Have you used any entries defined in glossary 'main'?

Anyone encountered this error please? Any ideas how to solve it?

Thanks

You're using an old version of makeglossaries. This warning message will 
go away if you update.

This warning means that you haven't used any entries in the main 
glossary, so the main glossary file is empty. If you don't want to use 
the main glossary (e.g. you just want the 'acronym' glossary) you can 
suppress its creation using the 'nomain' package option. If that's not 
the case then you need to supply a minimal example.

HI,
I am having the same problem, better to say the first part of it
(define (%hash).....):
I am using this version of the perlscript:
# File    : makeglossaries
# Author  : Nicola Talbot
# Version : 1.9 (2010/06/14)
I checked ctan for a newer version of this file, but this seems to be
the newest one.

Looks like I fixed the problem last September but didn't upload it. 
(Possibly because I was working on the next version of glossaries, but 
got sidetracked by too many other things.) Look for the line

    unless (defined %thistype)

and removed "defined".

I'll try to get the next version finished soon.

Hello,
thanks for your fast response. I used your workaround and the "(define
(%hash).....):"-Error is gone.
But I still have Problems calling xindy or makeindex. I thought this
was somehow connected to the "hash" problem and would disappear with
it.
I get the following error message:

  Call to makeindex failed (Errno:256):
  Can't create output index file C:...... .acr

Maybe you can help with that.

Thanks!

Hello,

I think the problem  mentioned in my last post is more a problem of
the new version  of makeindex. When I start the script with the full
path "c:\........\maintexfile" (without file extension) I get the
error (makeglossaries and makeglossarie.bat are in the same folder as
maintexfile). When I start the script with only the file name
"maintexfile" it works. The "hasherror" distracted me from the fact
that I upgraded from Miktex2.8 to 2.9, which upgrades makeindex from
2.14 to 2.15. The makeglossaries package is the same for both Miktex
versions.
Forget about xindy I didn't realize that there is no windows version.

Thanks again for the help!
