Does anyone have a make file example that has emacs load an .org file, process it into LaTeX and export as PDF, all from the command line without the user doing anything more than type ‘make’?   All examples appreciated.

Fraid I don't have a makefile but I do have a CMakeLists.txt that CMake
uses to generate a makefile.  This method uses a CMake module called
UseLATEX.cmake to generate the PDF.  I haven't used it for a couple of
years so it might be a bit outdated.

The CMakeLists.txt also contains an example of how to generate all the R
graphics for the document.

If it looks a bit over complicated for your requirements perhaps just
looking at the line that contains "COMMAND emacs" would be useful for
you.

Hopefully someone else will show a nice, simple, self-contained example.

Myles

I don't a makefile but I do have a single shell command that exports my
agenda to an ics file for uploading to google's calendar:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -Q --batch --debug-init \
    --directory=${HOME}/s/emacs \
    --load=custom.el \
    --load=esf-org.el --visit=${DIARY}.org --eval='(org-icalendar-export-to-ics)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I was interested in doing exactly this, but got the error described
here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/105491

Would you be able to share what you load in custom.el and esf-org.el, or
a least explain what needs to be done?

Cheers,

Loris

Here's a simple (GNU make) makefile to export something in batch mode:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%.html:	%.org
	emacs -batch -l batch-export.el --eval "(batch-org-export-as 'html)" $<

%.pdf:	%.tex
	latexmk --shell-escape -pdf -xelatex $<

%.tex: %.org
	emacs -batch -l batch-export.el --eval "(batch-org-export-as 'latex)" $<
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Starting from foo.org, say

  make foo.html foo.pdf

to produce the indicated exports.

I don't remember where I picked up the batch-org-export-as function, but
whoever wrote it, thanks! You might be able to simplify it: I've been
carrying it around unchanged for a couple of years, so there may be
simpler ways to do things nowadays, but AFAIK it works well with org
8.x. Here's the bach-export.el file (obviously the path in the second
line will need to be changed to suit your circumstances - I'm not sure
if the (require 'org-loaddefs) needs to be changed if e.g. you are using
org from ELPA - you might have to add a (package-initialize) too in this
case):

My custom.el is the emacs customisations (for variables and faces that
usually ends up in your .emacs) and esf-org.el is my full org
initialisation which is rather large and convoluted.  There is nothing
in either of those that should help solve the problem you are
having... but, then again, I'm not sure why you are having the problem
you encounter!

Do you get the same backtrace with -Q as in the previous post?

Apart from the Debian gubbins, yes.  However, I seem to have solved the
problem.

With the following ~/.emacs_minimal

  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))

I get:

  $ emacs /home/loris/org/gtd.org -Q -batch --load ~/.emacs_minmal -eval '(org-icalendar-export-to-ics))' --kill
  Symbol's value as variable is void: org-agenda-default-appointment-duration

However, with ~/.emacs_minimal as

  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
  (org-agenda-to-appt)

I get

  $ emacs /home/loris/org/gtd.org -Q -batch --load ~/.emacs_minmal -eval '(org-icalendar-export-to-ics))' --kill
  No event to add
