This is probably too complicated for your immediate requirements but it
is a good opportunity to share my solution using CMake. It does add
more complexity though. It is for pdf production and uses something
called UseLATEX.cmake. The main advantages are that:
- it can also regenerate all my plots from standalone (e.g.) R scripts,
so I don't have to do everything in org if I don't want to
- it does 'out of source' builds
- I don't know the make syntax
- it would probably work on different OS
Here is the non-barebones example:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(thesis NONE)
include(/usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/UseLATEX.cmake)
# Set R executable
set(R_COMPILE "/usr/bin/Rscript")
# Set the location of data files
##set(DATA_DIR data)
# Set the location of the directory for image files
set(IMAGE_DIR graphicsauto)
# Get a list of R files
file(GLOB_RECURSE R_FILES "R/*.R")
file(COPY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/R DESTINATION
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${IMAGE_DIR})
