Dear R-specialists,

I am trying to create a Makefile that will first convert all my .Rnw files into .tex files and then, that will run the LaTeX compiler to produce a pdf document. This issue has been discussed before. Hence, I've basically adapted a Makefile I found at http://n4.nabble.com/R-Sweave-R-and-complex-latex-projects-td810020.html#a810023 to make it compatible with a Windows XP environment. You will find my version of it at the end of this message.

However, it's not doing what I expect it to do. Instead of only using pdfTeX on "total_article.tex" (which is the file with the necessary headers and \include's), it tries to convert all my tex files into pdf, which of course cannot be done since only total_article.tex has the necessary structure to be understood by the compiler.

What's wrong then with this Makefile (I am using GNU Make 3.81)?

I will be grateful for any help you can provide.

MASTER = total_article.pdf

# the master document depends on all of the tex files
Rfile = prepareScript.R
RNWFILES = $(wildcard *.Rnw)
TEXFILES = $(wildcard *.tex)
DEPENDS = $(patsubst %.Rnw,%.tex,$(RNWFILES)) $(TEXFILES)

RERUN = "(There were undefined references|Rerun to get (citations|cross-references|the bars) (correct|right)|Table widths have changed. Rerun LaTeX.|Linenumber reference failed)"
RERUNBIB = "No file.*\.bbl|Citation.*undefined"

all : $(MASTER)

$(MASTER) : $(DEPENDS)

%.tex : %.Rnw

   SWEAVE '$<'

%.pdf : %.tex

   @pdflatex $<
   @egrep -c $(RERUNBIB) $*.log && (bibtex $*;pdflatex $<); true
   @egrep $(RERUN) $*.log && (pdflatex $<) ; true
   @egrep $(RERUN) $*.log && (pdflatex $<) ; true

clean:
   @del *.aux *.log *.bbl *.blg *.brf *.cb *.ind *.idx *.ilg  \
         *.inx *.ps *.dvi *.toc *.out *.lot *~ *.lof *.ttt *.fff \
         *.eps *.pdf
   @del -f $(patsubst %.Rnw,%.tex,$(RNWFILES))
script :
   Rcmd BATCH $(Rfile)
