I am working on TexMaker on Windows 10 and when I compile to exaple.tex the page where the glossaries should be is blank. I didnt touch anything on the original example file. Is this a windows issue and does it work on Linux?

I've already received information that there's a problem with that. I'll look into it.

What exactly is not working? Just now I tried master branch (the latest commit 1ac71d8) on Overleaf (with the example.tex source file) and everything seems to be ok... both english and slovak version, too.

Note 1: FEIstyle.cls defines (on the line No. 609) the name of list of glossaries as 'List of Abbreviations'.
Note 2: List of glossaries shows only referenced acronyms. So, if You define some acronym in glossary.tex, e.g. \newacronym{mfa}{MFA}{My Fancy Acronym}, but this acronym is never referenced with \acrshort{mfa} or \acrfull{mfa} command, it is not shown in the List of Abbreviations.

By not working i mean that page with glossaries is missing(prints empty page). All the acronyms are referenced in text, even when i try to remove some from glossary.tex i got an error

Package glossaries Error: Glossary entry `mfa' has not been defined

so i assume that glossary is loaded and compiled correctly and it only does not print. Or maybe i dont understand what should be printed?
Do i assume correctly, if there are some acronyms defined in glossary.tex, it will be printed on page with glossaries without any additional work?or do i need to do something more except of defining them in glossary.tex and reference them in text?

PS: To be honest i dont know what shall i do with Note 1. from your comment, sorry...

File README.md contains an error. Manual building of a project consists of following commands:
pdflatex file
biber file
makeglossaries file
pdflatex file
pdflatex file #not a typo!

The third command is makeglossaries, not glossary as mentioned in README.md. I should fix it ASAP.
For more information about glossaries you can see http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries/glossariesbegin.pdf (Chapter 4: Displaying a List of Entries).

Can you try manual building process? If the problem persists, give me a log from glossaries command, please, for a fresh version of project (example.tex, slovak version) without any changes.
As I mentioned above, Overleaf building process is correct, so you can use it instead of a local building.

Give me, please, an answer, if the problem has been resolved or not.

After cloning the fresh repo, importing to overfleaf and copy all the content from my work its working... cant see any difference, but maybe i am overlooking something. Anyway thanks for quick response!

@matusjokay i have invited you as colaborator to my private repository with Latex project... in master, there is currently working state(with glossaries) and there is pull request with not working state. Both versions were tried in overleaf... Maybe it could help you to identify if the problem is only in front of screen(me doing something wrong) or there is really some issues which needs to be tackled or at least mentioned in readme. Hopefully it will help to improve this repo and help others...

I tried diff and both versions are identical. The I tried the 'non working' branch on Overleaf and everything seems to be ok (including List of Glossaries, of course). So I really don't know where the dog can be buried.

Bump. The issue is still present. Tried using Overleaf and also on Windows via VSC. The results are the same, it compiles and empty page in the PDF instead of the list.
