includegraphics{some.pdf} not getting into dependency file

[shiblon]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 152

I have something like this in my presenation (build strategy 

$ make clean
$ make presentation.d
NOTE: You may ignore warnings about the following files:

     presentation.d

Makefile:2741: presentation.d: No such file or directory
= presentation.tex --> presentation.d presentation.pdf.1st.make (0-1) =
make: `presentation.d' is up to date.
$ cat presentation.tex | grep plotExampleCostFctSmall.pdf
   \includegraphics{plotExampleCostFctSmall.pdf}
$ cat presentation.d | grep plotExampleCostFctSmall.pdf
$ 
$ make plotExampleCostFctSmall.pdf
python plotExampleCostFctSmall.py

I added a rule for %.pdf: %.py in my Makefile.ini.

Just a 'make' aborts with:

$ make
./presentation.tex:79: Package pdftex.def Error: File `plotExampleCostFctSmall.pdf'
not found.
make: *** [presentation.pdf] Error 1

Am I doing something wrong? I expected the pdf to be in the dependency file and be
created automatically.

$ make version
LaTeX Makefile Version 2.2.1-alpha8

Can you create a minimal example that exhibits this behavior and attach the files to
this bug?

Oh, right.  I get it, now.  When using pdflatex with the makefile, it is not supported
to specify an extension in the \includegraphics item.  So, instead of

\includegraphics{plot.pdf}

Do

\includegraphics{plot}

I believe that will fix it for you.  Marking WontFix because it isn't broken.  :-)
 Please don't hesitate to reopen the bug if removing the extension doesn't work.
