Simple CMake configuration for Latex

cmakelatex's Issues

Support for multiple documents in a single CMake project

In the current implementation, this is not possible due to the fixed target names pdf and auxclean in lines 518-519. A possible workaourd that I'm using is to set those variables to:

SET(pdf_target      ${LATEX_TARGET})
SET(auxclean_target ${LATEX_TARGET}_clean)

And then you can add as many documents as wanted in one CMakeLists.txt, or nest projects, e.g. for several reports that share resources, etc.

Thus, after cmake config, one can type make DOC1 and/or make DOC2 to compile separately, or simply make to compile them all, since we always want the PDF in the end. The only problem I haven't solved is the make clean command, it only cleans the aux files of the latest added document.

I can provide a PR, but before, I wanted to raise the question to see whether you find it useful or not.
