9 years ago And coincidentally, I already did it and attached a patch.
It automatically identifies dependencies for generated files and incorporates
them into .tex.d files. These .tex.d files are added as dependencies to import.
These generated files should also get cleaned up automatically, since the
dependency information is also put into .fls files.
Currently only supports knitr style processing, but knitr is backwards
compatible with Sweave. It shouldn't be hard to add sweave processing as an
option.
The ONLY deviation from straight up vanilla knitr, is for adding external R
scripts as dependencies. Normally, you'd just do this:
<<cache=FALSE>>=
read_chunk("my_r_script.R")
@
Although this still works, the dependency on the R script is missed, so that
make will NOT remake the .tex file and any graphics files if the R script is
changed without changing the Rnw file. Instead, you can use this and the
dependency will work correctly:
<<cache=FALSE,file.chunk="my_r_script.R">>=
@
I also attached an example, since I wasn't quite sure how the tests work.Original comment by jamie.f....@gmail.com on 29 Aug 2012 at 7:27
