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.

Serious people use bibtex to manage their references. Here is a makefile that should run bibtex and latex the appropriate number of times.

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. There are a few additions by MattBrown below to allow images to be generated from .fig files and to spellcheck the report before generating it.
* ''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.

Usage
Place .tex file in the root directory, a .bib file in the root directory, and .eps, .png, .jpg, .fig and .dia images/figures in the ''images/'' directory. There are various targets used, just typing 'make' will just build a pdf file. The only editing of files needed is the top of the root makefile.
