Generic Makefile for LyX and LaTeX documents
I have prepared a generic Makefile for LyX/LaTeX documents, called latex.mk. In order to use it prepare a simple Makefile
containing just:
include latex.mk
Then type:
# make help
The Makefile can locate your source file (either LyX or LaTeX), export it if necessary and then compile:
# make final
# make finalps
# make export
# make figs
# make clean
You can even simplify usage of it by defining the following function in your shell (let it be Bash):
function mk() {
if [ -f Makefile ]
then
make "$@"
else
make -f $HOME/path/to/latex.mk "$@"
fi
}
Then you do not have to create Makefile
, just type:
# mk final
