BTW, in such simple cases, you better use file names instead of targets:

test: temp.pdf

temp.dvi: temp.tex
	latex temp

temp.pdf: temp.dvi
	dvipdfmx temp

Then make can compare the timestamps of the files involved and execute 
the rules only if necessary! That is the timestamp of temp.tex is 
"newer" than of temp.dvi and so on.

$ make
latex temp
