I use the epstopdf (as in \include{epstopdf} with pdflatex. It automatically converts
included eps figures to pdfs during compile time (since pdflatex can't usually include
eps figures). When I run with this makefile, the converted pdf images don't seem to
be being generated.

For this to work, latex has to be able to run the external epstopdf program. This requires
the -shell-escape option of latex to be set. I am not sure how I'd do this with your
makefile. I'm further confused by seeing epstopdf mentioned in the makefile, but I
don't understand it well enough to know what it does unfortunately.
