The usual method to compile latex is by using “latex” command, and if the latex file contains bibliography, it will be a very tedious and repetitive job.
To produce a dvi file:
1 2 3 4 | latex yourfile.tex bibtex yourfile.tex latex yourfile.tex latex yourfile.tex |
To produce a pdf file:
1 2 3 4 | pdflatex yourfile.tex bibtex yourfile.tex pdflatex yourfile.tex pdflatex yourfile.tex |
However, for the windows user, with miktex, there is an alternative that could simplify all those tasks - the texify.
To produce a dvi file”
1 | texify yourfile.tex |
To produce a dvi file and clean all the auxilary files:
1 | texify -c yourfile.tex |
To produce a pdf file (to clean all the auxilary files, just add -c as above):
1 | texify -p yourfile.tex |
To produce a dvi file and run the default viewer (add -p for pdf)
1 | texify yourfile.tex --run-viewer |
