## 12 Jan 2012 STILL NEED TO DOCUMENT some items below

+## 20 Nov 2017 John Collins Ver. 4.54
+## 18 Nov 2017 John Collins Add item to @file_not_found for generic
+## package warning about "No file", as produced
+## by glossaries-extra.
+## In run_bibtex, make change in environment
+## be local, not global.
+## 4 Sep 2017 John Collins Restore default of $analyze_input_log_always
+## to 1. This restores the default detection
+## of certain constructs for dependencies for
+## input files in the .log file. See the
+## comments on this variable. This corrects
+## a problem caused by a change in the
+## behavior of lualatex in TeXLive 2017.
+## 2 Sep 2017 John Collins Remove insertion of name of deps file in
+## list of targets in deps file.
+## Don't print deps info in deps mode (unless
+## diagnostics on).
+## 1 Sep 2017 John Collins Customized default previewers for MSys
+## 14 Jul 2017 John Collins Correct collection of timing information so
+## that it works even in silent mode
+## 14 Jun 2017 John Collins Extra value for $bibtex_use
+## 12 Jun 2017 John Collins Change glob to bsd_glob, since
+## File::Glob's glob is now deprecated.
+## Remove unused glob_list.
+## 16 May 2017 John Collins Optimize away current directory string in
+## $out_dir and $aux_dir.
+## 15 May 2017 John Collins Fix incorrect deletion of non-generated
+## aux files.
+## 13 May 2017 John Collins Correct ordering of list of options given
+## by -help
+## 6 Apr 2017 John Collins In deps_list, correct bug in identifying

+for generated files; then the extra index files will be deleted by
+clean-up operations
+
+But if you have yet more indexes with yet different extensions, e.g.,
+"adx" and "and", then you will need a separate function for each pair
+of extensions. This is quite annoying. You can use the
+\fIRun_subst\fR function to simplify the definitions to use a single
+function:
+

+ add_cus_dep( 'adx', 'and', 0, 'dx2nd' );
+ sub dx2nd {
+ return Run_subst( "makeindex -o %D %S" );

+
+You could also instead use
+

+ add_cus_dep( 'adx', 'and', 0, 'dx2nd' );
+ sub dx2nd {
+ return Run_subst( $makeindex );
+ }
+ push @generated_exts, 'ndx', 'nnd', 'adx', 'and';
+
+This last example uses the command specification in \fB$makeindex\fR,
+and so any customization you have made for the standard index also
+applies to your extra indexes.
+
+Similar techniques can be applied for glossaries.
+
+Those of you with experience with Makefiles, may get
concerned that the \fI.ndx\fR file is written during a run of

- configure. Latexmk does not know how to deduce the extensions from the

- cial}{ndx}{nnd}{Special index}" you will need to convert files with the

+ The only index-file conversion built-in to latexmk is from an ".idx"
+ file written on one run of latex/pdflatex to an ".ind" file to be read
+ in on a subsequent run. But with the index.sty package, for example,
+ you can create extra indexes with extensions that you configure.
+ Latexmk does not know how to deduce the extensions from the information
+ it has. But you can easily write a custom dependency. For example if
+ your latex file uses the command "\newindex{special}{ndx}{nnd}{Special
+ index}" you will need to get latexmk to convert files with the exten-
+ sion .ndx to .nnd. The most elementary method is to define a custom
+ dependency as follows:
+ add_cus_dep( 'ndx', 'nnd', 0, 'ndx2nnd' );
+ sub ndx2nnd {
+ return system( "makeindex -o \"$_[0].nnd\" \"$_[0].ndx\"" );
+ }
+ push @generated_exts, 'ndx', 'nnd';
+ Notice the added line compared with earlier examples. The extra line
+ gets the extensions "ndx" and "nnd" added to the list of extensions for
+ generated files; then the extra index files will be deleted by clean-up
+ operations
+ But if you have yet more indexes with yet different extensions, e.g.,
+ "adx" and "and", then you will need a separate function for each pair
+ of extensions. This is quite annoying. You can use the Run_subst
+ function to simplify the definitions to use a single function:
+ add_cus_dep( 'ndx', 'nnd', 0, 'dx2nd' );
+ add_cus_dep( 'adx', 'and', 0, 'dx2nd' );
+ sub dx2nd {
+ return Run_subst( "makeindex -o %D %S" );
+ }
+ push @generated_exts, 'ndx', 'nnd', 'adx', 'and';

- Those of you with experience with Makefiles, will undoubtedly be con-

- with circular dependencies. It examines the contents of the files (by
- use of an md5 checksum), and only does a remake when the file contents
- have actually changed.

with such problems.
