1 year ago You are too kind! And I'm glad it has worked for you, that's the only news that matters to me! Happy that my little side project is useful to more than just myself. It was a labor of love, but also of distraction (I made this while working on my dissertation, and sometimes it provided just the break I needed).
Note that you can add clean targets yourself by creating an ini file with a variable setting in it, just to test that it works as intended first. We can also add these to the main Makefile after checking on that:
Create a Makefile.ini in the same directory as Makefile, add the following line to it:
cleanextra := *.fdb_latexmk *.synctex.gz
If that works for you, we're all set, and I can work to figure out the cleanest way of adding these to the main file. Please don't hesitate to re-ping here and we'll get you sorted.

Hi,
I use this Makefile for 15 years and want to thank you very much for this, as its been a very helpful and reliable partner for me. I am not an expert user because I write 2 or 3 Latex documents a year. Nowadays I use VS Code with the Latex-Workshop plugin most of the time but also combine it with using this makefile. And building works well! The only issue I have is with the files vcsode creates during building, they are not handled by clean, namely
Do you think removal of those autogenerated files can be added into the Makefile clean target?
Kind regards Dave
