Using make to convert files?
|

| I have a folder "test" containing the folder "pic" where I put some .eps
files now and then. In the test folder I would like to put a makefile
that converts the .eps files to .pdf files (using epstopdf) IF new .eps
files are added or if they have changed.
Is it possible to use make for this??
The problem is that it should find out what the filenames are:
<newfile>.eps:
epstopdf <newfile>.eps
But I don't know how to make this, any ideas?

Yes.

[pjb@thalassa t]$ cat Makefile
..SUFFIXES: .pdf .eps
..eps.pdf: ; epstopdf $<
SRC=$(shell echo *.eps)
EPS=$(SRC:.eps=.pdf)
all:$(EPS)
[pjb@thalassa t]$ ls
../ ../ Makefile a.eps b.eps c.eps
[pjb@thalassa t]$ make -n
epstopdf a.eps
epstopdf b.eps
epstopdf c.eps
[pjb@thalassa t]$

Of course, s/EPS/PDF/ :
..SUFFIXES: .pdf .eps
..eps.pdf: ; epstopdf $<
SRC=$(shell echo *.eps)
PDF=$(SRC:.eps=.pdf)
all:$(PDF)

In GNU make...
EPSFILES=$(wildcard *.eps)
PDFFILES=$(EPSFILES:%.eps=%.pdf)
all: $(PDFFILES)
%.pdf : %.eps
echo create $@ from $<
epstopdf $<
