| Organize your latex projects may be not easy if you are not using a complex latex editor, so I search for some solutions at the internet and create a makefile should be a good way. With a makefile you can use all of the advantages of that and organize your latex project. I created a Makefile and now I'm using it with great results. If you want to use a Makefile with your latex project, in the Makefile that is presented bellow, you will just need to modify the value of the MAIN_TEX_NAME. Source of Makefile: ------- LATEX = latex BIBTEX = bibtex PS2PDF = ps2pdf DVIPS = dvips DVI_VIEWER = xdvi PS_VIEWER = evince PDF_VIEWER = evince WORK_DIR = tmp PS2PDF_OPTIONS = -sPAPERSIZE=a4 LATEX_OPTIONS = -output-directory=$(WORK_DIR) -halt-on-error MAIN_TEX_NAME = curriculum all: dvi dvi: $(MAIN_TEX_NAME) $(MAIN_TEX_NAME): mkdir -p $(WORK_DIR) $(LATEX) $(LATEX_OPTIONS) $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).tex $(LATEX) $(LATEX_OPTIONS) $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).tex mv $(WORK_DIR)/$(MAIN_TEX_NAME).dvi . bib: $(BIBTEX) $(WORK_DIR)/$(MAIN_TEX_NAME) pdf: ps $(PS2PDF) $(PS2PDF_OPTIONS) $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).ps $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).pdf ps: dvi $(DVIPS) $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).dvi viewdvi: dvi $(DVI_VIEWER) $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).dvi viewps: ps $(PS_VIEWER) $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).ps viewpdf: pdf $(PDF_VIEWER) $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).pdf clean: rm -rf $(WORK_DIR) rm -rf $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).dvi rm -rf $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).ps rm -rf $(MAIN_TEX_NAME).pdf ----- |

Note: you need to replace the spaces in the indented lines with TABs. Unfortunately google sites replaces tabs with spaces.
