-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label make</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Makefiles for LaTeX documents</h3>
-<p/>LaTeX is a tricky beast for running <i>make</i> on: the need to
-instruct LaTeX to run several times for essentially different
-reasons (for example, &#8220;get the table of contents stable&#8221;, &#8220;get the
-labels stable&#8221;, &#8220;add the bibliography&#8221;, &#8220;add the index&#8221;) is
-actually rather difficult to express in the &#8216;ordinary&#8217; sort of
-dependency graph that one constructs for <i>make</i>.
-<p/>The <i>latex-make</i> package offers help with this task (far more
-sophisticated techniques than in the FAQ building script); it
-looks good, but reports of its use (other than by its author) are scarce.
-<p/>For a long time, the only <i>make</i>-like package on CTAN
-was <i>latexmk</i>, which is a <i>Perl</i>
-script that analyses your LaTeX source for its dependencies, runs
-BibTeX or <i>makeindex</i> as and when it notices that those
-programs&#8217; input (parts of the <code>.aux</code> file, or the
-<code>.idx</code> file, respectively) has changed, and so on.
-<i>Latexmk</i> is a fine
-solution (and was used in generating printable versions of these
-FAQs for a long time); it has recently been upgraded and has
-many bells and whistles that allow it to operate as if it were a poor
-man&#8217;s WYSIWYG system.
-<p/>Apparently along the same lines, is AutoLaTeX. The <i>README</i>
-of the distribution is actual a Unix-type man-page output, and shows
-great attention to the details of the document production process.
-<p/>The <i>mk</i> (also, apparently, known as <i>latex_maker</i>)
-is a Ruby script for the task in hand; it works well with another of
-the author&#8217;s scripts script called <i>vpp</i> (View and Print
-PostScript/PDF).
-<p/>Windows users of the MiKTeX system may use that system&#8217;s
-<i>texify</i> application. <i>Texify</i> deals with basic
-LaTeX features, including generating a bibliography and an index;
-it makes no claim to deal with other things (such as multiple
-bibliographies or indexes, or lists of terminology, etc.), which
-AutoLaTeX can be configured to process.
-<p/>The <a href="FAQ-texinfo.html"><i>texinfo</i> system</a> comes with a similar
-utility called <i>texi2dvi</i>, which is capable of &#8220;converting&#8221;
-either LaTeX or <i>texinfo</i> files into DVI (or into
-PDF, using PDFTeX).
-<p/>A later contribution is the bundle <i>latexmake</i>, which
-offers a set of <i>make</i> rules that invoke <i>texi2dvi</i>
-as necessary.
-<p/>The curious may examine the rules employed to run the present
-FAQ through LaTeX: we don&#8217;t present them as a complete
-solution, but some of the tricks employed are surely re-usable.
