Here's how I build my index:
Comment: 1. Save the LyX document
Comment: 2. From utp directory, run ./mkidx utp
Comment: 3. If utp.ilg shows errors or warnings, fix and rerun prev steps. A
no-warning utp.ilg is 6 lines long.
Comment: 4. Save and view postscript
Comment: 5. Make sure the Enjoy! index entry corresponds to the last page of
the last chapter.
Comment: Note: This works only if you have \usepackage{makeidx} and
\makeindex at the top of the preamble, and if the \printindex{} above this
comment remains intact.
And here's the mkidx program:
rm -f $1.aux
rm -f $1.dvi
rm -f $1.idx
rm -f $1.ilg
rm -f $1.ind
rm -f $1.log
rm -f $1.tex
rm -f $1.toc
lyx --export latex $1.lyx
latex $1.tex
makeindex $1.idx
konqueror $1.ind $1.ilg
There are simpler ways, but my method works around issues where inserting an
index button doesn't do the right thing. Note also that there's a lot of
valuable information in ind.dvi and makeindex.dvi. On my Mandrake 8 box those
are in /usr/share/texmf/doc/makeindex/. Your mileage may vary.
