LaTeX-Mk is a collection of Makefile fragments and shell scripts for managing small to large sized LaTeX projects. The typical LaTeX-Mk input file is simply a series of variable definitions in a Makefile for the project. After creating a simple Makefile the user can easily perform all required steps to do such tasks as: preview the document, print the document, or produce a PDF file. LaTeX-Mk will keep track of files that have changed and how to run the various programs that are needed to produce the output.
I did not know about this software. It seems very interresting. But, as far as I can see, you still need to explicitely declare your dependencies (ie your bib file, your multiple input files for one document, ...). I wrote some Makefiles to do the same, but I also use a LaTeX package of my own to automaticaly track the dependencies while building the document (similar to the -MM flags of gcc). Most of the time, my LaTeX Makefile contain only one line: include LaTeX.mk I planned to include my work in Debian, however I never take the time to cleanup the variable names and improve the documentation. Nevertheless, you can be interesting by looking at my work.
