Sorry, I didn't understand the question.  What happened when you tried the latex makefile from http://latex-makefile.googlecode.com/ ?  What did not work for you?

I want to ask that can i use the same makefile many times to produce the pdf files

Sure.  Just drop it into your source directory and type make.  That works for most people.  It auto-detects which files you want to build.

For documentation, type "make help"

No problem.  Don't hesitate to ask questions as you have them.  :-)

Please tell me how to use make help
I tried it ,
i typed 'make help' in the source directory
It shows an error:
make: *** No rule to make target `help'.  Stop.

[Chris Monson]

You typed that in the same directory as the makefile?

Windows, Unix, Mac?

Okay, more detail about your setup would be helpful.  What exactly did you do, what version of GNU make are you using, etc?

I followed the following link:
http://www.acoustics.hut.fi/u/mairas/UltimateLatexMakefile/
Got makefile from here and placed in the source directory
In terminal when i type make help
it shows the error as i mentioned in previous mail
I attached the file which is  the code in terminal after typing the command make help
Before typing this command ,i had make the pdf files of the .tex files present in the directory

Wrong makefile.  I didn't write that one.  Go to http://latex-makefile.googlecode.com/ if you want to try mine.

[jaspreet kaur]

It works
Thanks a lot
