Probably the most interesting thing about the above makefile is that it uses __--interaction batchmode__ as an argument to Latex. The rest is a fairly standard makefile. Things get a little more complex when Bibtex and automatic image conversion is added to the makefiles.

+Because of all the crap that Latex and Bibtex outputs, SamJansen decided to create a directory structure for the report that kept all the "work" files away from the main directory.
+
+* ''images/'' contains all images and figures used in the report. All such images are converted to appropriate formats by the makefile in this directory.
+* ''work/'' is used when Latex and Bibtex is run. Therefore all the extraneous files like .toc and .aux and so on are put in here.
+* The root directory holds all .tex files and the main makefile.
