All of our .tex files are of a form:
Proj-JIRA-1234-Internal.tex
(where 1234 can be any 4-digit number.)
I currently have the command to process the full filename like this:
%: %.tex
echo $@
texify --pdf --synctex=1 --clean [email protected]
I was wondering if there was a way I could call make like:
make 1234.tex
And it could find the full filename and execute the texify command.
I’m kind of new to Makefile so I don’t know if this is doable.
I tried changing some of the parameters, and was getting circular references, etc. I am also playing around with some of the string functions available within Make but they appear to work on the file name as it exists in the repo?
