Support for --output-directory #167

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be really useful this Makefile could (optionally) build in a different 
directory than the working tree. I like to keep it clean to ease the 
interaction with a versioning control system; I usually make a build/ 
subdirectory and use the --output-directory=build/ parameter to pdflatex.

It would be great if this Makefile could use such a system and also move the 
files the Makefile itself generates to that directory.

This is a common request that is unfortunately not going to happen. Using 
subdirectories with 'make' is really, really problematic, particularly with the 
way that we're using it here.

Patches are always welcome for those that want to prove me wrong, but this 
would probably be a *huge* undertaking, like "full rewrite" huge.

Too bad. I'll give it a shot tonight, see what I can come up with.
