Sublime build - dynamic file name

Question

I need to make a build file for BibTeX files.

I have the following:

{
  "cmd": ["bibtex", "*.aux"],
  "selector": "text.bibtex"
}

When I run bibtex *.aux from terminal, it works fine. However, sublime keeps telling me:

I couldn't open file name `*.aux'
[Finished in 0.1s with exit code 1]

Answer 1

The answer is: make a custom script!

eg: subl /home/user/buildBibtex.sh consisting of:

#!/bin/sh
bibtex *.aux

run chmod +x /home/user/buildBibtex.sh

and the build file will look like this:

{
  "cmd": ["/home/user/buildBibtex.sh"],
  "selector": "text.bibtex"
}
