+------------------------------+ | The LaTeX-Make system | +------------------------------+ VERSION: 2.4.3 DESCRIPTION =========== This package provides several tools that aim to simplify the compilation of LaTeX documents: * LaTeX.mk: a Makefile snippet to help compiling LaTeX documents in DVI, PDF, PS, ... format. Dependencies are automatically tracked: one should be able to compile documents with a one-line Makefile containing 'include LaTeX.mk'. Complex documents (with multiple bibliographies, indexes, glossaries, ...) should be correctly managed. * figlatex.sty: a LaTeX package to easily insert xfig figures (with \includegraphics{file.fig}). It can interact with LaTeX.mk so that the latter automatically invokes transfig if needed. * And various helper tools for LaTeX.mk Homepage: https://gitlab.inria.fr/latex-utils/latex-make License type: gpl INSTALLATION: ============= Once generated, the following files need to be installed: * *.sty, *.cfg Main LaTeX package files. Should be installed into TEXMF/tex/latex/latex-make/ where TEXMF is a base of a TeX Directory Structure for your TeX installation; * *.py Helper scripts used by LaTeX.mk. They should be installed into TEXMF/scripts/latex-make/ * LaTeX.mk: This is the Makefile snipset to include into your main Makefile. To avoid the need to hardcode the path of LaTeX.mk in the 'include' directive of the Makefile, LaTeX.mk must be installed in a default search directory of GNUMake such as PREFIX/include, /usr/local/include, /usr/include/, etc. See your GNUMake documentation for the list of such search directories; In order to be able to also use the 'LaTeX-Make-local-install' target, LaTeX.mk must also be installed into TEXMF/scripts/latex-make/ *and* the two lines with "FIXME" at the end of this file must be updated with the TEXMF installation path. * *.pdf Documentation that can be installed into TEXMF/doc/latex/latex-make/ REQUIREMENTS: ============= In order to work, LaTeX Make requires: - GNU Make (>= 3.81) type "make --version" to check - a relatively recent LaTeX distribution (teTeX 3.0 should work, TeXLive >= 2005 also) If using figlatex, LaTeX Make also needs: - inkscape (>= 0.48.2) for converting svg files - transfig (>= 3.2.4) for the fig2dev command type "transfig -V" to check - ghostscript that is called by fig2dev type "gs --version" to check
