我用 xelatex 编译了一个 tex 文件后，用 Xindy 的 Glosarries 做了索引，结果显示：
$ makeglossaries test
makeglossaries version 2.04 (2012-05-19)
added glossary type 'main' (glg,gls,glo)
xindy -L english -I xindy -M "test" -t "test.glg" -o "test.gls" "test.glo"
Opening logfile "test.glg"
ERROR: Opening logfile "test.glg" failed!
***Call to xindy failed***
Check 'test.glg' for details
在test.glg中，有：
*** Unable to execute: 'xindy -L english -I xindy -M "test" -t "test.glg" -o "test.gls" "test.glo"' *** Status report:
Opening logfile "test.glg"
ERROR: Opening logfile "test.glg" failed!
但是我可以在 Mac 的终端上使用 xindy：
Jing@Jing2MacBook-Pro ~$ xindy
You need to specify --out-file if the raw index is read from standard input.
usage: xindy [-V?h] [-qv] [-d magic] [-o outfile.ind] [-t log] ................
有什么问题？
有一个类似的问题并为我提供了一个有用的想法：
真正的问题与我的问题相同：
对于不使用 Xindy 的“词汇表”，我们必须在 .tex 所在的文件夹中使用“makeglossaries test.tex”。
对于'glossaries'，当使用Xindy时，Xindy也有路径问题，但我们必须将tex文件复制到xindy的Temp文件夹中，然后xindy才能工作。
重点是：
'makeglossaries' 或 xindy 无法使用 .tex 文件（以及一些其他文件经过 xelatex 编译后由 .tex 生成的文件）所在的文件夹作为 TMPDIR，它使用系统默认的 TMPDIR，因此 'makeglossaries' 找不到 .glg，进而 'makeglossaries' 无法创建索引。
您可以在终端中使用命令“env”来找出系统的默认 TMPDIR。我的系统中的默认 TMPDIR 是：
TMPDIR=/var/folders/9h/71txqqf572x998x6sm4c6l440000gn/T/
所以我必须把我想要索引的所有 tex 文件复制到 /var/folders/9h/71txqqf572x998x6sm4c6l440000gn/T/ 中，在那里编译 tex 文件，然后 xindy 才能工作。
否则，我们必须手动将终端中的 TMPDIR 更改为当前会话中 xelatex test.tex 之后的 .tex 文件所在的文件夹。
如果你的 tex 文件位于 /Users/Jhering/mynewbook/，在 Mac/Linux/Unix-like 中，更改 TMPDIR 如下：
export TMPDIR=/Users/Jhering/mynewbook/
在 Windows 中，例如：
set TEMP=C:\Users\Jhering\mynewbook
然后你可以
makeglossaries test
xelatex test.tex
但是我们怎样才能不需要每次都将 TMPDIR 更改为 .tex 文件所在的文件夹？
示例代码（最初来自软件包词汇表，未经任何编辑）：
确保您已拥有如下参数“xindy”：
\usepackage[xindy]{glossaries}
test.tex 文件是：
% This file is public domain.

% This is a sample document illustrating how to use the
% glossaries package with xindy. To create the document:

% makeglossaries samplexdy

% If you don't have Perl installed, then use one of the

%
% If you want to have a separate "Mc" letter group do:
%
% xindy -I xindy -M samplexdy-mc -t samplexdy.glg -o samplexdy.gls samplexdy.glo
%
% Otherwise do:

% xindy -L english -C utf8 -I xindy -M samplexdy -t samplexdy.glg -o samplexdy.gls samplexdy.glo

% Define a new command to do bold italic:
\newcommand*{\hyperbfit}[1]{\textit{\hyperbf{#1}}}
% Need to add this to the list of attributes in order
% to use it with xindy:
% (This command will have no effect if \noist is used)
\GlsAddXdyAttribute{hyperbfit}
% Redefine the page numbers so that they appear as a word:
\renewcommand*{\thepage}{\Numberstring{page}}
% Need to add this to the list of location styles.
% \Numberstring{page} gets expanded to
% \protect \Numberstringnum {<n>} (where <n> is the page number)
% so need to define the location in that format:
% (This command will have no effect if \noist is used)
\GlsAddXdyLocation{Numberstring}{:sep "\string\protect\space
\string\Numberstringnum\space\glsopenbrace"
"arabic-numbers" :sep "\glsclosebrace"}
% (Need to redefine \glsXpageXhyperbfit and
% \glsXpageXglsnumberformat after \makeglossaries to get the
% hyperlinks working correctly.)
% To have Mc as a separate group uncomment the following three
% lines:
%\setStyleFile{samplexdy-mc} % note no extension
%\noist
%\GlsSetXdyLanguage{}
% The above three lines specify to use samplexdy-mc.xdy (supplied
% with this file) and don't overwrite it. The language is
% unset using \GlsSetXdyLanguage{} as all the language
% dependent information is contained in samplexdy-mc.xdy
% Note that using \noist means that commands like
% \GlsAddXdyAttribute and \GlsAddXdyLocation will no longer have
% an effect.
% Write the style file (if \noist isn't used)
% and activate glossary entries
\makeglossaries
% Each page location will be specified in the form:
%
% "\glsXpageXglsnumberformat{}{\protect \Numberstringnum "\marg{n}"}"
% or
% "\glsXpageXhyperbfit{}{\protect \Numberstringnum "\marg{n}"}"
%
% Redefine to allow hyperlinks:

}
\renewcommand{\glsXpageXhyperbfit}[2]{%
\textbf{\em\linkpagenumber#2}%
}
\newcommand{\linkpagenumber}[3]{\hyperlink{page.#3}{#1#2{#3}}}
% Define glossary entries
% \glshyperlink is used instead of \gls to prevent the glossary
% page numbers also appear in the locations, however I need
% to ensure that the referenced entries are added to the
% glossary via commands that use \glslink, \glsadd or \glssee

当 PATH 中的文件夹名称和 .tex 文件名称不是 CJK 字符时，它可以正常工作。为了使用 xindy，我必须更改所有 CJK 文件的名称和文件夹的名称！
如今，这已是 21 世纪的一个大问题！
答案1
- test.tex 在文件夹 ~/翻译
- 我在终端中使用 xindy --interactive -L english -M.... 来查找 xindy 的临时文件夹的位置。
- 将 test.tex 复制到 xindy 的临时文件夹中。
4. 在此文件夹中使用
xelatex test.tex
makeglossaries test
xelatex test.tex
5.Xindy 的作品。
