I need to process several dozen lytex files at once for a single
project (on
Ubuntu). Is there a way of processing every lytex file in a given
location
with a single command, rather than having to compile each one
separately?
[I read somewhere about using a makefile, but I failed to understand
it
sufficiently to apply it.]
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Hey Tapani
Yes, makefile is a good way to go.
I started using it in the last weeks and I think it's very very useful
with LilyPond. I've been wanting to try to improve the doc about
Makefile but didn't find the time to study it a bit more and try a
patch.
Basically you'll have to do something like this (replace "[TAB] " with
a real TAB character):
# Rule to compile any .ly file to PDF and MIDI
# The pattern is "output: input". I'll use % (same as * in bash), to
catch all files ending with...
# $< is the input file
#
%.pdf, %.midi: %.ly
[TAB] lilypond $<
# Rule to build a lilypond-book file
mybook.pdf: mybook.lytex
[TAB] lilypond-book OPTIONS... $<
# Targets
book: mybook.pdf
clean:
[TAB] rm *.pdf *.midi
