So I wanted to make a basic makefile for my tex documents, so I took the Makefile from http://www.acoustics.hut.fi/u/mairas/UltimateLatexMakefile/ and modified it to be amazingly simple.
Heres the Make file:
CC=
FLAGS=
LATEX= latex
BIBTEX= bibtex
DVIPS= dvips
PS2PDF= ps2pdf
SRC := $(shell egrep -l '^[^%]*\begin{document}' *.tex | sed -e 's/.tex//')TRG = $(SRC).dviPSF = $(SRC).ps
all : pdf
dvi : $(LATEX) $(SRC) && $(BIBTEX) $(SRC) && $(LATEX) $(SRC) && $(LATEX) $(SRC)
ps : dvi $(DVIPS) $(TRG)
pdf : ps $(PS2PDF) $(PSF)
clean : rm *.bbl *.aux *.blg *.dvi *.log *pdf *.ps
Fairly simple and lets you choose your toolchain.
