MakeGlossariesGUI is a Java GUI alternative to the makeglossaries Perl script (supplied by the glossaries package). It's mainly intended for people who don't want to use the command prompt but can't get their editor to run makeglossaries.

Note that if you are opting for MakeGlossariesGUI because you don't want to install Perl, then you are limiting yourself to makeindex, as xindy also requires Perl to run.

See the glossaries package documentation for information on how to create the glossaries or list of acronyms for your document.

MakeGlossariesGUI will create a directory in which to store application settings. If the environment variable MAKEGLOSSARIES-SETTINGS is defined, then that directory will be used, otherwise MakeGlossariesGUI will either create $HOME/.makeglossaries ($HOME\.makeglossaries), or $HOME/makeglossaries-settings ($HOME\makeglossaries-settings).
