Latex: \printglossaries not working on Mac? - latex

Question

I want to implement
a simple glossary. I have the following example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
name=latex,
description={Is a mark up language specially suited
for scientific documents}
}
\newglossaryentry{maths}
{
name=mathematics,
description={Mathematics is what mathematicians do}
}
\title{How to create a glossary}
\author{ }
\date{ }
\begin{document}
\maketitle
The \Gls{latex} typesetting markup language is specially suitable
for documents that include \gls{maths}.
\clearpage
\printglossaries
\end{document}
I use TexPad on Mac.
The \printglossaries command doesn't work. I don't get errors and it does not print the glossaries. Does someone has an idea why?
This is the .pdf I get: GlossariesTest.pdf

Answer 1

This minimal example works for me:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makenoidxglossaries
\newglossaryentry{latex}{
name=latex,
description={is a mark up language specially}
}
\begin{document}
The \Gls{latex} typesetting markup language.
\printnoidxglossaries
\end{document}
Note that I used \makenoidxglossaries and \printnoidxglossaries instead of \makeglossaries and \printglossaries. If I read table 1 on page 17 of the Glossaries Beginner's Guide correctly, you need to run makeglossaries, xindy or such for the commands you used.
With this input
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{latex}{
name=latex,
description={is a mark up language specially}
}
\begin{document}
The \Gls{latex} typesetting markup language.
\printglossaries
\end{document}
I need to run pdflatex test.tex, then makeglossaries test, and another pdflatex test.tex to get the glossary printed.
