glossaries support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I use the glossaries package in latex:

\usepackage{glossaries}
\begin{document}
\newglossaryentry{foo}{name=bla,description{spam spam spam}}
Use \gls{foo} to get spam.
\printglossery
\end{document}

This short tex-file doesn't complie with the latex-makefile-2.2.0-rc11. I'll 
get an error:

$ make 
= main.glo --> main.gls =
!! Input index error (file = main.glo, line = 1):
   -- Unknown index keyword \glossaryentry.
make: *** [main.gls] Error 1

I found a solution that woks for me. I create a new target:

I'm having a hard time reproducing this.  After fixing the missing 
\documentclass in your example above, it still gives me the following errors in 
my log file.  Any thoughts?

If you're in the wrong mode, you might be able to
return to the right one by typing `I}' or `I$' or `I\par'.

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Package glossaries Warning: \makeglossaries hasn't been used,
the glossaries will not be updated.

Package glossaries Warning: No \printglossary or \printglossaries found.
This document will not have a glossary.

Sorry I wrote the code block too fast. And didn't actually tested this part. So 
now I've written a complete example, that runs without an error.

Here without patch:

$ ls
gl-test.tex  Makefile

$ make
NOTE: You may ignore warnings about the following files:

     gl-test.d

Makefile:2476: gl-test.d: No such file or directory
= gl-test.tex --> gl-test.d gl-test.pdf.1st.make (0-1) =
= gl-test.glo --> gl-test.gls =
!! Input index error (file = gl-test.glo, line = 1):
   -- Unknown index keyword \glossaryentry.
make: *** [gl-test.gls] Error 1

adding patch for Makefile:
$ make clean

$ ls
gl-test.tex  Makefile

$ make
NOTE: You may ignore warnings about the following files:

     gl-test.d

Makefile:2476: gl-test.d: No such file or directory
= gl-test.tex --> gl-test.d gl-test.pdf.1st.make (0-1) =
= gl-test.glo --> gl-test.gls =
= gl-test.tex --> gl-test.pdf (1-2) =
Success!  Wrote 1 page, 13001 bytes to gl-test.pdf

Cool - it appears that your attachment is 0 bytes in size.  Empty file.  Maybe 
try again?

Very good.  This actually pointed to some other bugs I had in the dependencies. 
 Attached is the new makefile - let me know if it works for you.

The changes are in r3158161c26f3.   I'll push out another version at some point 
in the next few days, probably, meanwhile you can use the attached.
