All these programs come with a modern TeX distribution (I use texlive).
How to use these in a makefile depends on what you have. For a simple
document, processing with the command in question suffices.
But if you use footnotes and references, you need multiple passes to
sort everything out. If your document has an index and a bibliography,
you'll need to use makeindex and bibtex.
Here's an example of a Makefile for a long document of mine;
DOCSRC =3D logboek_RFS_II.tex
DOCPDF =3D $(DOCSRC:.tex=3D.pdf)
SUBDIR =3D grafieken figuren raytrace lam calc
$(DOCPDF): ${SUBDIR} $(DOCSRC) lbref.bib
@echo -n "Regenerating the logbook... "
@! pdflatex --interaction nonstopmode -file-line-error $*.tex | gre=
p -A 1 '^l\.'
@makeindex -c -s myindex.ist $*.idx 2>/dev/null
@bibtex $* >/dev/null
@pdflatex --interaction batchmode -file-line-error $*.tex >/dev/null
@makeindex -c -s myindex.ist $*.idx 2>/dev/null
@pdflatex --interaction nonstopmode -file-line-error $*.tex >/dev/=
null
@! pdflatex --interaction nonstopmode -file-line-error $*.tex |gre=
p Warning
@rm -f $*.lo* $*.aux $*.ilg $*.ind $*.toc $*.bbl $*.blg
@echo "Done."
${SUBDIR}::
@cd ${.TARGET}; make ${.TARGETS}
clean: ${SUBDIR}
@rm -f *.lo* *.aux *.ilg *.ind *.toc *.bbl *.blg
@rm -f $(DOCPDF)
This Makefile also runs make in several subdirectories.
