LaTeX Makefile

If you have a TeX document that includes only other TeX documents, XFig graphics, GraphViz diagrams and gnuplot graphs, this file can build you a PDF. I'm working on index and bibliography support.

This stemmed from my 3A work report, which I worte in TeX. I did these performance of database wrappers in Java, so, I wrote a collection of Makefiles to auto-generate some of the Java code, compile, run the perfomance tests, extract and manipulate the data, graph the data, then insert the graphs, tables and test code into the TeX file. For simplicity, I put this into CVS.

No, I'm not insane and no, most people don't write work reports like that. Save the following into TeX.mk. You don't have to store it in the directory you intend to use it.

LaTeX Makefile

To use it, create a file called Makefile like:

all: mydocument.pdf
include /path/to/TeX.mk

I'm still working on BibTeX and index support. Note that make clean really kills things, so be careful.
