I would like to see built-in support added to GNU make 3.78.1 for
making PDF files from LaTeX source.
As I see it, this would involve adding the following to the default
list of suffixes:
.PS .pdf
(Note that I use uppercase "PS" to denote a generated PostScript file,
as opposed to "ps" for a source file.)
The following additional variables:
LATEX = latex
DVIPS = dvips
PS2PDF = ps2pdf
And the following default pattern rules:
.dvi.PS:
$(DVIPS) $(DVIPS_FLAGS) -o $@ $<
.PS.pdf:
$(PS2PDF) $< $@
And I would like to see the default rule for .tex.dvi changed to use
$(LATEX) instead of $(TEX).
