[AUCTeX] The problem of running makeindex with AUCTeX

[Angelo Graziosi]

I use AUCTeX with Emacs (last CVS-23.0.60) on Cygwin [1].

On the AUCTeX manual (auctex.pdf-11.85-20080210, page 25) is written:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If a latex run produces or changes input files for makeindex, the next 
suggestion will be to run that program, and AUCTEX
knows that you need to run latex again afterwards
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I never have experimented this behaviour (which would be very good). I 
always have to run makeindex manually, i.e., after I clik on the toolbar 
the latex button, it does not ask to run makeindex but only to rerun 
latex to resolve references: if I want the index, I have to clik, 
between two latex command, Command|Index.

I would expect that, after the first clik on latex button, it ask to run 
makeindex and than to run latex newly so that all references will be 
resolved.

The best thing should be that one cliks a sort of 'texify' button which 
 makes all what it needs.

But perhaps I am missing something. In that case sorry for the noise!

Cheers,
   Angelo.

[1] For example configuring Emacs as:

${source_dir}/configure --prefix=${prefix_dir} \
                        --enable-font-backend \
                        --with-x-toolkit=lucid

and AUCTeX as:

./configure --prefix=${prefix_dir} \
                --with-emacs=${emacs_bin} \
                --without-texmf-dir

in which ${prefix_dir} is /usr/local/emacs and ${emacs_bin} is 
/usr/local/emacs/bin/emacs
