Makefile and .SUFFIXES ====================== For some reasons I never tried to use the .SUFFIXES directive of the make(1). I also thought that it is a GNU extension which may not exist in other make implementations. But it seems that it is a common thing (at leat the NetBSD make has this thing, too). So I FINALLY have started to use this thing: -------------------------- .SUFFIXES: .tex .dvi .pdf .tex.dvi: latex $< -------------------------- And so on...
