latexmk --- scripts to "make" LaTeX documents These scripts are covered by the GPL, see the headers of the programs. GETTING STARTED * copy bootstrap.mk to ~/.latex.mk and edit it to reflect the location of latex.mk and latex_run. * create a Makefile in the directory where your LaTeX document resides. In the simplest case, it would look like this (if you want to generate both pdf and postscript): --------------------------------- all: mydoc.pdf mydoc.ps include ~/.latex.mk --------------------------------- Bibliographies, images, etc. can be handled. Run "make clean" or "make distclean" to get rid of the generated files. More complicated scenarios are not yet documented, read latex.mk or drop me a line. TODO: * complain about undefined references * vtex compatibility? * if there is a new graphic in the text, latex_run will fail because it did not know that it has to build a new dependency... can we avoid this? * study http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=make and check whether we are 1) obsolete 2) missing cool tricks 3) worthy to be published
