New make PATH problem(?)

[robert . h . fletcher]

Sirs:

I am learning doxygen on Windows XP. To convert a latex document to pdf,
doxygen generates the following Makefile:

Copy of Makefile generated by doxygen:
            all: clean refman.pdf

            pdf: refman.pdf

            refman.pdf: refman.tex
                pdflatex refman.tex
                makeindex refman.idx
                pdflatex refman.tex
                latex_count=5 ; \
                while egrep -s 'Rerun (LaTeX|to get cross-references right)' 
refman.log && [ $$latex_count -gt 0 ] ;\
                    do \
                      echo "Rerunning latex...." ;\
                      pdflatex refman.tex ;\
                      latex_count=`expr $$latex_count - 1` ;\
                    done


            clean:
                rm -f *.ps *.dvi *.aux *.toc *.idx *.ind *.ilg *.log *.out 
refman.pdf

Case (1)
I used mingw32-make (from mingw32-make-3.81-2.tar.gz).
When making the above Makefile, the program would end with an error. The final 
few lines
of the console output are:
        ...
        Output written on refman.pdf (110 pages, 791113 bytes).
        Transcript written on refman.log.
        latex_count=5 ; \
                while egrep -s 'Rerun (LaTeX|to get cross-references right)' 
refman.log && [ $latex_count -gt 0 ] ;\
                    do \
                      echo "Rerunning latex...." ;\
                      pdflatex refman.tex ;\
                      latex_count=`expr $latex_count - 1` ;\
                    done
        'latex_count' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
        operable program or batch file.
        mingw32-make: *** [refman.pdf] Error 255


Case (2)
Eventually, I figured out that I needed to add 'C:\msys\1.0\bin' to my PATH.
That is, with mingw32-make (from mingw32-make-3.81-2.tar.gz) and 
C:\msys\1.0\bin in PATH,
the last few lines of the console output are:
        ...
        Output written on refman.pdf (110 pages, 791113 bytes).
        Transcript written on refman.log.
        latex_count=5 ; \
                while egrep -s 'Rerun (LaTeX|to get cross-references right)' 
refman.log && [ $latex_count -gt 0 ] ;\
                    do \
                      echo "Rerunning latex...." ;\
                      pdflatex refman.tex ;\
                      latex_count=`expr $latex_count - 1` ;\
                    done


Case (3)
Yesterday, I downloaded and installed mingw32-make-3.81-20080326.tar.gz.
Now when I use this make on the Makefile I get the same error as for case (1) 
above.
That is, with mingw32-make (from mingw32-make-3.81-20080326.tar.gz) and 
C:\msys\1.0\bin in PATH,
the last few lines of the console output are:
        ...
        Output written on refman.pdf (110 pages, 791113 bytes).
        Transcript written on refman.log.
        latex_count=5 ; \
                while egrep -s 'Rerun (LaTeX|to get cross-references right)' 
refman.log && [ $latex_count -gt 0 ] ;\
                    do \
                      echo "Rerunning latex...." ;\
                      pdflatex refman.tex ;\
                      latex_count=`expr $latex_count - 1` ;\
                    done
        'latex_count' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
        operable program or batch file.
        mingw32-make-new: *** [refman.pdf] Error 255


In other words, it seems that with the new make, the MSYS binaries are not 
being located.
(Obviously, I could be wrong about this, but something appears to be amiss.)

Incidentally, I experimented with putting C:\msys\1.0\bin at the start and the 
end of the PATH,
and it made no difference.

Thanks,

Bob
