running citeproc does not produce a bbl file #16

Running citeproc on the aux file does not produce a bbl file here. I don't get an error message, so I cannot really say more. All I can say is that the sequence mentioned in the readme doesn't do anything for me.

pdflatex test.tex
pdflatex test.aux
pdflatex test.tex

Using lualatex works though.

The second command is supposed to be citeproc test.aux. Unfortunately the TeX Live team mistakenly uses citeproc/citeproc.lua as the executable script rather than latex/citeproc. The former is expected to be used as a Lua library (local citeproc = require("citeproc")). I'll contact them to correct this.

The TeX Live team has fixed the binary name.

Note that I've also renamed the executable from citeproc to citeproc-lua in order to avoid conflicts with citeproc implementations in other languages. Now the full compiling procedure for pdflatex or xelatex is:

pdflatex test.tex
citeproc-lua test.aux
pdflatex test.tex
