# N.B. ===> (3, 4 Mar 2014) This file contains a correction relative to
# the previous version
# This shows how to use mpost, as used by the feynmp package.
# The feynmp package writes files with extension .mp, e.g., foo.mp,
# and these are to be converted by mpost to make postscript files,
# e.g., foo.1, which are later read in by dvips.
#
# A more complicated custom dependency is needed than normal, because:
# if the output directory ($out_dir) or the auxiliary directory
# ($aux_dir) is set, mpost doesn't put its output in the correct
# place.
add_cus_dep( 'mp', '1', 0, 'mpost' );
sub mpost {
my $file = $_[0];
my ($name, $path) = fileparse( $file );
my $return = system "mpost \"$file\"";
# Fix the problem that mpost puts its output and log files
# in the current directory, not in the auxiliary directory
# (which is often the same as the output directory):
move "$name.1", $path;
move "$name.log", $aux_dir;
return $return;
}
