&gt; Does somebody has written a generic make file for tex -&gt; dvi -&gt; ps<BR>
<P CLASS='mquote1'>
&gt; (pdf, html...) and 'make clean'?<BR>
<P CLASS='mquote1'>
&gt;<BR>
<P CLASS='mquote1'>
&gt; I'm planing to write one myself, but I think I'd better ask<BR>
&gt; first. Somebody can share his/her copy of makefile? Thanks!

<P>
No answer for about a week. Ok, ahead I will go.

<P>
but first, sometime the latex should be run twice, (or 3rd time?),
correct? Can I tell it from the return code of the latex?

<P>
How can I tell when to launch the bibtex? ...

<P>
Somewhere -- I have no idea where, now -- I came across a Makefile for
LaTeX. The name at the top of it is Stefan van den Oord, who seems to
have been a student in the Netherlands. I've slightly modified it [...]

<P>
I can't seem to find this file anywhere on the web any more (after a
cursory search with google), so I'll include it here... warning, it's a
bit long (~330 lines) [...]

<P>
The problem I found about this 330 lines makefile is that it is still not
smart enough to handle all problems like references, citations, indexes,
etc...
