I installed XCode but the command "which make" returns nothing. Do I have reboot
(as in M$Windows)?

To activate the latexmk engine move the latexmk.engine file from
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/Latexmk two directories up, to
 ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines; you'll need to restart TeXShop. Then place the line

I use makefile mainly because I am used to it for years and I write my code
almost entirely using my favourite editor vi

It is a makefile that is almost 9 years old!!!! Only the variable FN is changed
as per the document in question. (I do not use any office product for any form
of documentation)


LATEX=latex
DVIPS=dvips -Ppdf
PSPDF=ps2pdf13
THUMBPDF=thumbpdf --modes=ps2pdf
MKIND=makeindex -s idxerr.ist -g
FN=myfile
all:
	$(LATEX)    $(FN).tex
	$(LATEX)    $(FN).tex
	$(MKIND)    $(FN).idx
	$(LATEX)    $(FN).tex
	$(DVIPS)    $(FN).dvi -o $(FN).ps
	$(PSPDF)    $(FN).ps
	$(THUMBPDF) $(FN).pdf
	$(LATEX)    $(FN).tex
	$(DVIPS)    $(FN).dvi -o $(FN).ps
	$(PSPDF)    $(FN).ps
clean:
	rm *.out *.log *.aux *.dvi *.ps


(Probably, the file looks primitive. The reason is simple, I learned LaTeX all
by myself and it has taken a bit of time to reach where I am. The thanks go to
the whole community out there and to member of DANTE e.v. of which I am a member)


Once in a while I use TeXShop.
